Tower of La Iglesia de San Nicolás
Sitting above the most famous mirador in Granada, you can climb the tower of La Iglesia de San Nicolás for a small fee, giving you the perfect spot to get that iconic photo with the expanse of the Alhambra Palace in front of you, with the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains as a backdrop. The whole city and Albaicín is spread out below you and at sunset, you can't capture a more beautiful scene. Take a break from the climb and enjoy the entertaining flamenco guitarists and singers. [Update: There's a lot of construction work going on right now on this church and so enjoy the views from the plaza in front, they're just a few metres less impressive!] Mirador de Los Carvajales If you're not up for the long, strenuous climb up to Plaza San Nicolás, there is a much more easily accessed square with incredible views of the Alhambra with barely any climbing involved. This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the views. You can get great photographs of the Alhambra without competing for wall space like in the busier plazas. Enjoy the friendly ambiance of groups gathering here to play and sing flamenco for fun or a couple coins. El Huerto de Juan Ranas While certainly a tourist destination, this bar/restaurant is the perfect getaway from the crowds of the usual miradores with all the benefits of the view, set just below the Mirador San Nicolás. Chill out on comfy couches, soak up the sun and enjoy some cocktails while you're at it. Definitely not a budget option for those looking to save money but for a couple drinks at sunset, it's worth it to relax and enjoy the views. |
