The Realejo District: A Cosmopolitan Gem
The Realejo district holds a fascinating history, once known as Garnata al-Yahud, the Granada of the Jews, during the Arab rule. It was a melting pot of cultures, where Jews and Arabs coexisted, contributing to a cosmopolitan and cultured neighborhood. Although the urban layout has evolved over time, with a profound transformation following the expulsion of the Jewish community, the essence of the Realejo has remained intact.
