Sacromonte is located on the hill and valley of Valparaíso, in front of the Alhambra, occupying both banks of the Darro River, whose name seems to derive the phrase "D'auro" ("of gold") for its famous gold-bearing sediments.

It is the traditional neighborhood of the Granadian Gipsies, who settled in Granada after the Christian conquest of the city in 1492. It is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods of the city, by the landscape and its cave houses, installed in whitewashed caves.

The gypsies of Sacromonte have a dialect, "Calé", which is currently little used. It's derived, according to tradition, from India, from where the gypsies (or Roma), originated. The Roma of Sacromonte were portrayed by the poet Federico García Lorca in his book of poems "Romancero Gitano." source: Wikipedia
