    Amazing views to Granada! Lots of people, lots of wind, so be prepared if you want to stay a while. Bring your drinks and snacks, that's what everyone does. There are some steps or a longer way - street from Albaicin neighborhood to get here. It takes 10 min. There's also a parking behind it so it's also accessible by car.

    To me, it has the best panoramic view. I know it's a little bit hike without any shade. But it's well worth the effort.

    Can be accessed from the Albaicin via the steps. Great views over the Albaicin, Granada and the Sierra Nevada.

    Good views of the city and Alhambra but a bit of a hike - At one point 220 stairs. Need a moderate level of fitness to keep climbing in one go, otherwise take it at your own pace. Parts of the route leads your through some small back alleys/ streets.

    Hike here worth the enjoyment from the views and ambience

  • 5/5 Adriel Tjokrosaputro (. 4 months ago on Google • 85 reviews
    No doubt the best viewpoint in Granada, especially during the sunset. It’s so magical. Use the bus C35 to get up here!

    Miradór of San Nicolás is for tourists, miradór of San Miguel is for adventurers. It's higher up the Albaicín and offers a different angle of the Alhambra. And best of all, there are far fewer people.

  • 5/5 Jon 6 months ago on Google • 71 reviews
    One of the best views. A bit of a walk but definitely worth it. Quiet enough to have you own space to enjoy it. Also check out the incredible off the grid homes dig into the hills on the way up or down.

  • 3/5 Maximilian S. 1 year ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Pretty amazing viewpoint to see alhambra and the sunset in Granada. There is only one major issue: its extremly crowded. If you want to quietly watch the sunset and chill out a bit, this isnt for you. Tons of teens and young adults drinking, smoking etc. If this isnt an issue for you: go for it, if you want it quieter: stay away!

    Best view of the city in my opinion. Even better for sunset ! Come early get a nice seat up top ;)

  • 5/5 Iana V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful viewpoint with the great view of the whole granada city and alhambra

  • 5/5 pooyan p. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a sandy way for around 10 minutes but it worth visiting. A fantastic view of the granada is amazing specially during sunset

  • 5/5 Markus 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Nice place with amazing view over the city, Alhambra and the surroundings.

  • 5/5 Zulaika B. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s was a good climb for me. I passed through the Gypsy neighborhood. I saw their house curved into the caves, I didn’t not expect to see this sooner but let’s say I hit two birds with one stone. The view from up there is so amazing. After the climb, the wind is definitely cooling.

  • 5/5 Race C. 11 months ago on Google
    The walk up to this place was really cool. Passed by lots of cave dwellings where present day gypsies live. Several were having get togethers in their yards. Really interesting to see their way of life. Many locals gathered at the viewpoint which was neat. Busy but not too crowded even on a Friday. Great photos of Alhambra to be had from many points up here, especially at sunset and after dark.

  • 5/5 Susie N. 10 months ago on Google
    San Miguel Alto Viewpoint was well worth the walk thru the laneways and up the stairs if you after some rewarding exercise.

  • 4/5 Iwan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Difficult route to get to the top and the view is okay but not so spectacular

  • 4/5 SY H. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is quieter than San Nicolas one also has really great view. Just there were some young people drinking and smoking so I think it wouldn’t be safe place if you visit there alone. Recommend going in a group. Also there are many stairs to go up there.

  • 5/5 MK 1 year ago on Google
    Exellent spot to view the Alhambra. Quite popular with locals and turists. It's right at the top of some inhabited cuevas, I'm not sure how safe the area is after dark.

  • 5/5 Prue M. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful views! We went in the morning/afternoon but I can imagine it’s beautiful at night. Long walk up so I would avoid in the peak heat of the day. Much less popular than Mirador San Nicolás but a more challenging walk uphill. There is no water point and limited shops after leaving the lower parts of the hill.

  • 5/5 Bruno E.M. S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent point to oversee the whole of Granada including the Alhambra, the old Morris neighborhood, just in frond of you, the palace and the old city walls. Bring a camera, but remember, the early morning sun is the best moment, the light comes from behind, to make that beautiful foto of your love or family

  • 4/5 Michal F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice view, Costy beer

  • 5/5 David A. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome views of the entire city and L'Alhalambra. It is a bit of a hike but it is worth it. There is also a water fountain that you can drink from.

  • 4/5 Kelly P. 1 year ago on Google
    The view was breathtaking and I think it was the best sunset I have ever seen in my life. It was dirty and everyone was smoking weed, but the scenery was spectacular.

  • 5/5 Annisa F. 6 years ago on Google
    It is a less crowded view point compared to the packed San Nicolas. Therefore the view is also more clear not to mention the place is higher. I recommend to visit this place in the afternoon to see the sunset above Granada and a glimpse of Alhambra. You can also easily make a visit to the legendary Sacromonte neighborhood from there for just a view more hike.

  • 4/5 Aleksandar R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice view, it's a good place if you want a more quiet sunset without the crowds of the San Nicolas viewpoint. However, the area is a bit dirty and dodgy, so I won't recommend going there when it's dark. Also, take some food/drinks with you because there is no shop or bar up there.

  • 5/5 Kunal B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best viewpoint to see the Alhambra at night. But be prepared for the hike, it gets steep at times but very doable. And the view is worth it...not many people there (if any) as compared to Mirador de San Nicolas which is packed with people. And as a bonus, you get to see the caves of Sacromonte up close.

  • 3/5 Taurus F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice view, but very old building without any facilities to get some beverages or food

  • 4/5 lim may s. 2 years ago on Google
    Sand storm but still great view.

  • 3/5 Kevin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to camp overnight except it's been slightly taken over by long term, hippy type travellers. Music, chat, singing etc going on until 4am. Lots of visitors all night as it's a public viewpoint.

  • 5/5 gabriela i. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice open panorama over Alhambra .

  • 4/5 Omer S. 2 years ago on Google
    A very nice sightseeing spot, the view is really nice! Just be aware that there are always many many people, so if you arrive and there are just too many of them, you could keep going around and you will find other viewpoints/miradores with a nice view as well, maybe a little less impressive.

  • 5/5 Lala A. 2 years ago on Google
    Stunning views of the city. Well worth the climb up the hill. Great sunsets too.

  • 5/5 Viki c. 2 years ago on Google
    This Mirador is the best in Granada and also my favourite. You must come here at sunset. It is a wonderful place, a nice walk to the top and along the way we met nice people that live in this grotto houses. This landscape is stunning. The vibes you get here are unbelievable. A step away there's Sacromonte centre which you can watch flamenco. Ps: buy a beer or drink before you go to the top so then you can watch the amazing sunsent with a beer in your hand. Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Alan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Even though it still gets a decent number of visitors, this is the most underrated spot in Granada. Come during golden hour and stick around to watch the sun set over the city.
