===Cartuja===
This district contains the Carthusian monastery of the same name: Cartuja. This is an old monastery started in a late Gothic style with Baroque exuberant interior decorations. In this district also, many buildings were created with the extension of the [[University of Granada]].

===Bib-Rambla===
The toponym derives from a gate (Bab al-Ramla, or the [[Gate of the Ears]]) that was built when Granada was controlled by the [[Nasrid dynasty]]. Nowadays, Bib-Rambla is a high point for gastronomy, especially in its terraces of restaurants, open on beautiful days. The Arab [[bazaar]], the ''[[Alcaicería of Granada|Alcaicería]]'', is made up of several narrow streets, which start from this place and continue as far as the cathedral.

===Sacromonte===
{{Main|Sacromonte}}
The Sacromonte neighborhood is located on the extension of the hill of Albaicín, along the Darro River. This area, which became famous by the nineteenth century for its predominantly [[Gitanos|Gitano]] inhabitants, is characterized by cave houses, which are dug into the hillside. The area has a reputation as a major center of flamenco song and dance, including the [[Zambra|''Zambra Gitana'']], an Andalusian dance originating in the Middle East. The zone is a protected cultural environment under the auspices of the ''Centro de Interpretación del Sacromonte'', a cultural center dedicated to the preservation of Gitano cultural forms.

===Zaidín===
{{Main|Zaidín (Granada)}}
This formerly blue collar but now upmarket neighborhood houses 100,000 residents of Granada, making it the largest neighborhood or 'barrio'. Traditionally populated by [[Gitanos|Romani]] people, now many residents are from North and West Africa, China, and many South American countries. Every Saturday morning it hosts a large outdoor market or "mercadillo", where many people come and sell their wares of fruits and vegetables, clothes and shoes, and other bits and bobs.
