Granada has numerous viewpoints, of which Mirador San Nicolas is the most well-known. Still, Mirador San Miguel Alto is worth your attention as the highest viewpoint in the city. It offers a unique opportunity to see the famous Alhambra from above. The best time to come here is sunset, as the sun casts a golden hue over the fortress. After that, you can see the city lights go on. The climb may seem steep, but the panorama is worth the effort!
