Photos of the Realejo Neigbourhood

For most people the Realejo is a really pleasant neighbourhood in Granada. There are loads of bars, restaurants, and squares. The Campo de Principe is a good place to eat out in the evenings. Throughout the ages, the Barrio Realejo was an important Jewish quarter and called Garnata al-Yahud (Granada of the Jews) by the Moors when they arrived in Granada in the 8th century. During the years of Moorish rule, Jews lived relatively peacefully but following the Christian conquest by the Catholic Monarchs, the Jews were expelled, the Jewish quarter was destroyed and the barrio was renamed El Realejo.
