Our take
It's a niche tour, and rightly so: Jewish Granada left few buildings standing, so what the guide brings is the story —Jewish viziers and poets at the Zirid and Nasrid courts— told on the streets where it happened. The Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo, included, is a little-visited gem. For two it works out at €121 each; for four it falls to €65. It suits people who've already seen the Alhambra and want another layer of Granada's history, or anyone interested in Sephardic heritage.

The experience
The route
A walk through the history of Granada's Sephardic Jews, who in Moorish times rose to be viziers and poets to the Zirid and Nasrid sultans. It starts at the defensive Torres Bermejas and goes on to the Puerta del Sol wash-house, where poets and rabbis used to meet.
You head down the Cuesta del Realejo, past the church of Santo Domingo, founded by the Catholic Monarchs, and into the Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo, an Almohad palace. Then Calle San Matías, site of the Great Synagogue, and Plaza del Padre Suárez, with its old baths and the rabbi's house. You finish at the statue of Ibn Tibbon, the 11th-century Jewish poet and translator.
