Saint Nicholas' lookout
Mirador de San Nicolas Street.
The most emblematic and crowded viewpoint of the entire AlbaicĂn neighborhood.

Cisterns Square. Alhambra
Cisterns Square.
We do not know if it is cataloged as a viewpoint, but of course it could be, the Plaza de los Aljibes de la Alhambra, next to the door of the Alcazaba. You can see the entire AlbaicĂn and Sacromonte. The perception from there to the entire historic center of Granada is a fantasy and real.

Sacromonte Caves Museum Viewpoint
Blacks Ravine.
Access through Calle Verea de Enmedio, from Plaza Maria La Canastera. It is easy to get there as there is signage. It is an excellent and very exclusive viewpoint since it is within the Museum of the Sacromonte Caves. Admission is €5 per person. In addition to the more than 10 caves that remain original with their respective interpretation, and also very pragmatic, at the end of the street inside the museum, there is a hidden viewpoint that not everyone has access to, of course the photo is the most exclusive.
