Climb to the Ermita de San Miguel Alto viewpoint

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: The climb takes you up past the Albaicín's whitewashed houses through a series of steep, winding lanes that have changed little since Moorish times. From the hilltop hermitage, you can see all of Granada sprawled below with the Sierra Nevada peaks towering behind the Alhambra.

Poudarki: Locals still gather here at dusk to play flamenco guitar barefoot on the warm stone, their music drifting across the valley as the Alhambra lights flicker on. On clear days, you can spot the Mediterranean Sea shimmering 40 miles away, a detail most guidebooks never mention.
