View looking south from the Calle de San Nicolas by the Iglesia de San Nicholas in the Albaycin of Granada. This is the usual viewing point for the Alhambra – it’s one of the few places in Granada where you can get high enough to get a decent perspective across the small valley at the northern foot of the Alhambra.
Visitor note: buy your tickets in advance – don’t go on the day and hope tickets will be available. Hope is not a good strategy.
