Grace Apartments is located on Calle Moral de la Magdalena, one of the streets leading to Plaza de Gracia. Presiding over this square, we find the Church of Our Lady of Grace, with origins in the seventeenth century, when the Order of the Holy Trinity Barefoot settled in Granada. Being so centrally located, we can access it from many famous streets of Granada, such as Solarillo de Gracia from Recogidas Street, Ancha de Gracia from Camino Ronda or Músico Vicente Zarzo from Pedro Antonio de Alarcón.

Very close to this street is Colon Apartments, in the heart of Gran Vía de Colón, the main street of the city of Granada. Built in 1895, it is a stately street, with beautiful buildings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It goes from the Plaza de Isabel la Católica to the Avenida de la Constitución.

And a few meters from Gran Vía de Colón, is the emblematic Albaicín neighborhood, unique in the world and declared a World Heritage Site in 1984. To walk through its streets is to walk through the history of Granada. Its peculiar constructions, its multiple small squares and the very structure of its cobblestones make the Albaicín a magical place in the city of Granada. In one of its most emblematic streets, you will find Albaicín Alhambra Views.

This street gives access to another of the most essential passages of the city: Calle Calderería, a pedestrian street that reminds us of a Moorish medina, a small area of the lower Albaicín, full of bazaars reminiscent of the old Arab souks.

Here you can find fajalauza painted pottery, inlaid objects, Moroccan, Egyptian, Grenadian handicrafts, and from many other places.
