Great views of the Alhambra, make sure to get a smoothy right around the corner! Highly recommended to visit at sunset!

If you're not going to visit the Alhambra, at least go to this viewpoint. There is a small bus from the centre which will take you there. Great views of the Alhambra

Go here for sunset the Alhambra glows orange in the sunlight. If you are lucky there will be someone playing a guitar. We were lucky too to have snow still on the Sierras in the background...just stunning.

Best place to get a great view of the Alhambra on the opposite hill. Great atmosphere with lovely stalls selling hand made jewelry, soaps, etc. It is a long and steep walk up from Plaza Nouvella to come to Mirador, so wear good walking shoes.

For the more serious photographers, you should arrive 1 hour before sunset and wait until 1 hour after. The snow on the Sierra Nevada mountain was still there the end of May.

Beautiful views back across the valley to the Alhambra, perfect for a glass of wine as the sun sets.

During the day and before sunset, there are lots of people here, but go right before sunset and stay until sundown...less and less people, music in the air...and if you happen to have good camera, beautiful photos of Alhambra at night!
