From La Cartuja to El Zacatin Part One

Hello,




today, I am going to describe a route from El monasterio de la Cartuja (Cartuja Monastery) to one of the most emblematic street in Granada, El Zacatín.



At the North of the city, the Cartuja neighbourhood was built in the early 70's as cheap accomodation for workers families. The area recieved such name due to a chapter of monks (los cartujos) who built a monastery in the neighbourhood




This building was started to be built in 1515 and its interior has works by Bocanegra and Sánchez Cotán. Along the road in which the monastery is based we will find many interesting buildings as the Hospital Real

Close to Hospital Real there are Puerta Elvira (which is the entrance to a great tapas bar area) and the Cathedral.
