Introduction

Mirador de San Nicolás, located in the oldest district of Granada, Albayzín, was once a fortress built by the Moors and a refuge for Moors and Jews after Christians liberated the area. The entire hill appears as a white village from a distance. Mirador de San Nicolás is one of the most famous attractions here, adjacent to the Alhambra Palace, offering a panoramic view. Standing on the Mirador de San Nicolás to appreciate the beauty of the city, bathed in the sunset glow, feels like being in a famous painting, relaxing and joyful.
