Dangers & Annoyances
Despite all this charm and beauty, the Albayzín is still a work in progress and its
narrow streets are often havens for thieves and muggers. Muggings, some violent,
sometimes happen here, so be discreet about valuables and proceed with care, es-
pecially during siesta time (3pm to 5pm).
