1.Carmen de los Mártires
In case you still did not know the origins of Granada’s Carmenes, these were a typical type of house, rustic and fenced, that had a garden, green space, orchard and fountain or pool.
Its origin is Nasrid, but today we still have some, such as the Carmen de los Mártires, the best known and the largest in the entire city.
It is located within the Alhambra enclosure and its entrance is free, so you can explore it freely while taking pictures of its beautiful gardens, its pond and its views of Granada.
In spring and autumn you will find the most beautiful color contrasts and it can also be a good place to take pre-wedding or post-wedding photos in Granada, as well as any other report.
2.Alcaicería
The city’s souk is located in the heart of the historic center, next to the Cathedral, and is one of the most picturesque places in Granada.
Very narrow alleys, with Nasrid style arches and columns and with many Granada handicraft shops, where you can buy the popular Fajalauza earthenware, inlaid objects, souvenirs or colored glass streetlights, among many other things.
And why not, an ideal place to take original photos!
3.Placeta de Toqueros
The Abaicín of Granada is full of little corners where you can take beautiful and unique photos. And one of those corners is the Placeta de Toqueros, a stepped street that allows you to see beautiful views of the Alhambra in the background.
It is undoubtedly one of the best places of Granada to take photos and at the same time it is unknown to many of the visitors.
4.Paseo de los Tristes
It is one of the best known, touristy streets and probably the most beautiful street in Granada.
Cobbled street, on the Darro River and located on the slope of the Alhambra. So the Paseo de los Tristes becomes one of the most photogenic places in Granada.

5.Graffitis of Realejo
If you are looking for a different image of Granada, we recommend you stroll through the Realejo neighborhood, where there are numerous works by the Granada-born graffiti artist El Niño de las Pinturas.
