See all Things to do in Granada
Mirador de San Nicolas
EspaldasAbout
After climbing up cobblestone hills through a maze of ancient Moorish houses in the Albayzín, you'll find the Mirador de San Nicolas. From this lookout point, you can see most of the city, including Granada Cathedral and, most prominently, the Alhambra. When planning your visit, take the time and weather forecast into consideration—it's a bit of a walk in the summer heat, and you'll have to decide whether you want to take pictures during the day, at sunset, or with the illuminated Alhambra at night. Because of all the tourists, there are also a number of people selling jewelry and other crafts. If you see something you can't pass up, don't hesitate to bargain, but be wary—the quality doesn't usually compare to what you can find in more legitimate stores at the foot of the Albayzín. Take a bus or walk from Plaza Nueva. It's recommended to take a taxi at night. Feature Image: comcinco/Flickr
