The Sacromonte hill, which overlooks the city from the North, is famous for its cave dwellings, once the home of Granada's large gypsy community.

« Dale limosna, mujer
que no hay en la vida nada
como la pena de ser
ciego en Granada »

Give to the beggar, dear wife,
Could anything be harder?
Than to be blind in this life,
Sightless in Granada
