    Overview

    Below the Alhambra, Granada keeps a second treasury — silk markets, a royal cathedral and courtyards where deals were struck for centuries.

    This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Granada on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

    • Enter the orbit of the Catedral de Granada, Spain's Renaissance giant

    • Step into the Corral del Carbón, the last Moorish merchants' inn

    • Haggle your way through the Alcaicería, the old silk bazaar

    Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

    Around 2 hours - any group size.

    The city at the fortress's feet plays its own game.

    What you will do

    • Stop 1

      Starting at Plaza Nueva, Granada's oldest square, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and slip into the streets below the Alhambra. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

      The Catedral de Granada soon fills the sky — the Renaissance colossus the Catholic Monarchs ordered over the city's great mosque, with their tombs next door. Riddles handle the dynasty.

      The Corral del Carbón follows: the 14th-century merchants' inn, the only complete one left in Spain, its horseshoe gate worn smooth by centuries of trade.

      Then the Alcaicería tightens into a lattice of lanes — the old silk market reborn as a bazaar of lanterns, ceramics and clues.

      Around two hours through Moorish and Christian Granada entwined. The leaderboard settles accounts — tapas come free with the celebration, as Granada insists.
