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!

Great view of Alhambra from the view point and nice walk through pretty albaycin to get to this place. But there was no crowd at sunset ...

walk you way up from the city center of your way down from sacro-monte and you'll find the mirador de San Nicolás. enjoy the view and the history of the surrounding neighborhood .

If you want to see the Alhambra in a beautiful setting be at the Mirador de San Nicolas at sunset. If you get there ahead of time don't worry there are plenty of outdoor cafes where you can wait.

You can say it just a place for a great view but for me it resembles more. The hill is filled with nice little white houses/cottages, it has narrow corridors, there are nice little places (like French cafeteria) and the view is spectacular. You can see the Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada ("snow pointed mountain"), the river and the city.

After visiting the Alhambra You should visit Mirador de San Nicolas. The best time is after sunset or about at about 13:00, when is not very crowded. On the square, next to the church, you can refresh yourself with the frosty spring water and there is a cafe to drink sangria and order tapas and cerveza (beer), usually at the... More

gorgeous view of the Alhambra in a really charming neighborhood, the Albacin. We ate lunch at the overpriced terrace restaurant just for an hour of that same view.
