Carmen de los Moriscos is on Camino Nuevo de San Nicolás, in the Albaicín, the historic neighbourhood of narrow, winding streets that retains the character of medieval Granada.

The Albaicín is best explored on foot, among viewpoints, cisterns, historic houses and squares; Aljibe de San Nicolás is 60 m away and Palacio de los Olvidados is 270 m away. A visit to the Alhambra can be combined with a walk along Paseo de los Tristes and through the neighbourhood’s streets.
