How we ground every narration

Every stop traces back to primary archaeological and heritage records. Not AI-generated guesses. Here's how each narration gets built.

  1. 1

    Multi-source aggregation

    Each stop pulls from OpenStreetMap (the open mapping database used by Apple Maps and Tesla), Wikidata (the peer-reviewed structured-data project), the heritage authority below, and primary historical texts where they exist.

  2. 2

    Authority validation

    Cross-referenced against Modern excavation publications · academic peer-review.

  3. 3

    Fact-check pass

    Every sentence is checked against the verified sources above. Anything that can't be supported gets cut.

Highlights

Sites that define Granada — Albaicín

Mirador de San Nicolás
Viewpoint

Direct panorama of the Alhambra with Sierra Nevada behind. Bill Clinton called it the most beautiful sunset in the world.

El Bañuelo
11th century

The best-preserved Arab baths in Spain. Star-shaped ceiling openings let in shafts of light through the vaulted rooms.

Carrera del Darro
Medieval

Renaissance palaces on one side, the Darro River below, and the towers of the Alhambra rising above the tree canopy.

Palacio de Dar al-Horra
15th century

The palace of Boabdil's mother Aixa — 'House of the Honest Woman.' Nasrid domestic architecture at its most intimate.

Church of San Salvador
On mosque site

The mosque courtyard with horseshoe arches survives beneath the church. One of the few visible Islamic religious structures in Granada.

Sacromonte
15th century onwards

Cave dwellings carved into clay hillside. The crucible of zambra flamenco — more intimate than Seville's tradition.

Common Questions

How it works

It’s not just GPS — what are the ways to trigger a narration?

Three ways, all built in:

  • GPS-triggered (default): walk near a site, the narration starts automatically.
  • Tap any marker on the map: open the map view, tap any of the 13 markers to play that narration on demand — no walking required.
  • Queue controls: pause, skip, replay any narration; the queue auto-advances as you walk.

The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.

Do I need cell service or data while I’m there?

No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.

What if my phone’s GPS is unreliable?

Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.

How long is the tour and how much time do I need?

The audio runs ~2 hours total, but you walk at your own pace. 13 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Your access lasts 30 days from purchase, so revisit as often as you like.

Can I share with my partner or family?

One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.

What if I never use the tour, or never make it to the site?

Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
