Mirador de San Miguel Alto
A terrace in front of a hilltop hermitage at the highest point of the Albaicín, with views over the Alhambra, the whole city and the Sierra Nevada. Fewer people than at San Nicolás.
The viewpoint sits on the hilltop between Sacromonte and the Albaicín, beside the white Hermitage of San Miguel Alto. You can reach it along the old Nasrid city walls. Its view is higher and wider than that of San Nicolás, taking in the whole city and the Vega plain. The uphill walk from the Albaicín takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The path is steep and unshaded, so avoid midday in summer. Entry is free. The route down after dark is quiet and isolated, so go with a companion.
