Sacromonte is a historic neighborhood located in the hills of Granada, Spain. It is known for its cave dwellings, flamenco shows, and its history as a traditionally Romani neighborhood. The neighborhood is situated opposite the Alhambra and offers panoramic views of the city and the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Sacromonte is believed to have been inhabited by Romani people since the 15th century, who settled in the area and created dwellings in the hillside caves. Over the years, these caves were transformed into homes, with some being converted into tourist accommodations, restaurants, and flamenco performance venues.
Today, Sacromonte is a popular tourist attraction in Granada, drawing visitors to its stunning views, flamenco shows, and traditional cave homes. Visitors can take guided tours of the neighborhood, learn about its history and culture, and enjoy live performances of traditional flamenco music and dance.
