About this audio guide
This guide to the Mirador de la Vereda de Enmedio in Granada opens with a puzzle: why a neighborhood carved entirely into rock went centuries without a single public square. It traces Sacromonte's cave houses back to the late 1400s, home to Granada's Roma community and other residents priced out of stone housing, and follows the path itself, cut through in the late 1800s to connect Sacromonte with the Albaicin. Even after that road went in, planners kept dismissing this stretch of ground as too steep and awkward to use.
