  Mirador de San Nicolas

  From this point, we will contemplate the best possible views of the Alhambra, learn about the history of the Albaicín neighborhood, and at the same time we can imbue ourselves with the local culture. This point is a place of union for tourism and the neighborhood, where you can enjoy the atmosphere that is often enlivened by artists from the neighborhood. Being one of the most important points, you will have time to take pictures, and enjoy the views without haste.

  We will find a very different viewpoint to those already visited, it is more integrated to the street and is not so easy to identify. The views of the Alhambra from this point are unique, as we are on one side of the monument. Right at this point, we will enjoy the most beautiful sunset in the city.

  We close the tour with a reflection on the cultural fusion between the two UNESCO World Heritage neighborhoods, Albaicín and Sacromonte, as well as the cultures that characterize them and give their own personality to our city. We will also learn about the history behind the person depicted in the statue that presides over this place. To understand this figure, we must speak of the period of Romanticism in Granada in the 19th century.
