What people say

"The most famous image of the Alhambra can be seen from the San Nicolás viewpoint. This is the most emblematic viewpoint in the city and the favorite among tourists visiting Granada. Nearby you can see groups of friends playing flamenco and vendors selling handicrafts. The San Nicolás viewpoint is located in the heart of the Albaicín and is a pleasant spot with views of the Alhambra and the Generalife, with the Sierra Nevada as a backdrop. A picture perfect for a postcard! If you have time, we recommend going to San Nicolás at the end of the day to enjoy the "most beautiful sunset in the world", as former US President Bill Clinton called it. This viewpoint is located in the lower part of the Albaicín, near the San Gregorio hill, and is almost hidden in the Arab quarter. It stands out for the overlapping views it offers of Granada's most iconic monument and the Generalife. Although in the afternoon it is usually full of groups of friends and has a very lively atmosphere, at the end of the day it is not as busy as the San Nicolás viewpoint."
"The Mirador de San Nicolás in Granada offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Alhambra palace, set against the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This iconic viewpoint is renowned for its romantic ambiance, especially at sunset when the warm hues of the Alhambra are complemented by the soft glow of the evening sky."

"Popular viewpoint at the foot of the Albaicin district, head here for sunset and enjoy the views over the Alhambra. You can climb the church tower for 2.5 euros - but like much of Spain the opening times don't seem to match what is listed online! "
