Free tour: the old town on foot
According to the listing, the walk starts at Plaza de la Catedral, in front of the fortress-like cathedral. From there it passes the Convent of the Purísima Concepción, the Poet's House, Plaza Campoamor, Calle de la Reina and the narrow lanes of the old Arab quarter, then Plaza Vieja, Plaza de las Flores, the Church of Santiago and the Spanish Civil War shelters. It ends at Puerta de Purchena after 1.5 to 2 hours. Booking is free and tips are not included.
What about the Alcazaba?
The route reaches the entrance of the Alcazaba along Calle Almanzor, so you see the 10th-century fortress from outside and hear its story. The tour does not go inside, and no admission ticket is included. This page offers only the free tour.
Making the most of it
The free tour works best as an orientation on your first morning: you learn how the city fits together and what deserves more time. If you want to go inside the Alcazaba, plan that visit separately for another part of the day. The listing asks you to cancel your reservation if you cannot attend, so the guide is not left waiting for you.
