Granada Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Below the Alhambra, Granada keeps a second treasury — silk markets, a royal cathedral and courtyards where deals were struck for centuries.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Granada on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Enter the orbit of the Catedral de Granada, Spain's Renaissance giant
• Step into the Corral del Carbón, the last Moorish merchants' inn
• Haggle your way through the Alcaicería, the old silk bazaar
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish, English, and French.
The city at the fortress's feet plays its own game.

What To Expect
Starting at Plaza Nueva, Granada's oldest square, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and slip into the streets below the Alhambra. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Catedral de Granada soon fills the sky — the Renaissance colossus the Catholic Monarchs ordered over the city's great mosque, with their tombs next door. Riddles handle the dynasty.
The Corral del Carbón follows: the 14th-century merchants' inn, the only complete one left in Spain, its horseshoe gate worn smooth by centuries of trade.
Then the Alcaicería tightens into a lattice of lanes — the old silk market reborn as a bazaar of lanterns, ceramics and clues.
Around two hours through Moorish and Christian Granada entwined. The leaderboard settles accounts — tapas come free with the celebration, as Granada insists.
