Carrera del Darro & Paseo de los Tristes
Carrera del Darro
A cobbled street along the Darro River, often called one of Europe's most beautiful streets, where small stone bridges, old mansions and the Alhambra's walls above create a striking scene.
Carrera del Darro runs from Plaza Nueva along the Darro River to the Paseo de los Tristes, a distance of less than 1 km. Along the way you will pass small stone bridges, Renaissance mansions, the remains of an Arab bathhouse and an archaeological museum. At the end, the Paseo de los Tristes takes its name from the funeral processions that once passed by. Today it is lined with open-air café terraces, and above it rise the Comares Tower of the Alhambra. The lights at night are especially charming. Entry is free, and from here you can climb the steps up to the Albaicín or Sacromonte.
