El Saint Nicholas' lookout is, without a doubt, the best place to Grenada to view Alhambra and the best views of the city and the route of the Darro River. Located at the top of the Albaicín neighborhood, we will get there after a walk of approximately 15 minutes. Impossible to do it by car, the best thing is to walk and discover the different viewpoints that are on the way.

The Mirador de San Nicolás

But the best is that of San Nicolás. The Alhambra is at the same height as him and the contemplation will be without anything that obstructs your vision. I assure you that you will be impressed.

Also the atmosphere that is always there is very attractive. Musicians playing the guitar or the cajon and artisans with their products is the best setting to have a drink and accompany your observation.

If you wait to see the sunset you will see that it is one of the most beautiful and a little later the Alhambra lights up. It may be better?
