Spectacular views of Alhambra, Granada and landscape. Lots of cobbles. Take a taxi up and down.
The views are phenomenal from up at the Plaza Mirador de San Nicolas viewpoint. You can see the Alhambra and the whole of Granada, and the surrounding mountains. It’s a unique feeling being there, looking down on the City and seeing all the places you’ve visited. I was there around midday and it was fairly quiet. This may be because sunset is the preferred time to go for the position of the sun and the way it lights up the Alhambra. At midday I was looking straight at the sun.
I went up on my mobility scooter from central Granada following the road that the bus takes. It was steep, rough because of the cobbles and hot in the midday sun. I enjoyed seeing lots of this old town area on the way. But, I’ll be getting the bus next time.
While up there, we had a drink at a restaurant on the nearby Plaza de San Nicolas. They brought out a small complementary plate of fried aubergine with honey which was delicious. We moved to another plaza for lunch which was the usual menu of Spanish food and I had the Tortilla which was pretty good. All of these places were accessed only by driving on cobbles. And finding a route without steps was a challenge.
I took the bus back down while my husband took the scenic steps. I had to drive over cobbles to reach the bus stop.
