The famous viewpoint in Granada offers stunning views of the Alcazar and the Sierra Nevada,
near the Church of St. Nicholas in the Albaicin quarter.
Plaza Nueva
The oldest square in town is only 5 minutes away from the Alhambra's forest.
This historical place has a lot to offer: St. Ann's Church, Royal Chancellery, etc.
Carmen de los Mártires
This garden by the Alhambra is an ideal romantic oasis with small ponds, leafy paths,
and stunning views around the historic mansion.
Triunfo Gardens
Historic gardens with colored fountains at night, surrounded by beautiful buildings:
the Royal Hospital, the Elvira Gate, and Basilica de San Juan de Dios nearby.
Alcaiceria Street
Alcaiceria Street is full of typical shops and souvenirs, part of the former Arab Market.
It's worth a visit and is close to the Plaza Bip Rambla.
Puerta Real
This modern area holds its own charm, boasting numerous tapas bars and summer terraces
in the lively the Plaza de Mariana Pineda and Campillo.
Huerta de San Vicente
This place was the summer residence and is now the Garcia Lorca House-Museum
and park located on the border between the countryside and the city.
Bib Rambla Square
The heart-center of Granada is a nice place to wander, eat, drink, explore souvenir shops, and relax.
It's also a safe place for children to play.
Isabel La Catolica Square
A small square with a statue of Queen Isabel and Columbus, an impressive fountain,
and beautiful buildings around, serves as a central meeting point for tours.
There are many other beautiful places to see in Granada:
Puerta Real and Beautiful Fuente de las Batallas
Puerta Real is one area that could be considered modern, but also has its traditional charm, particularly
the Plaza de Mariana Pineda, with the Tourist Office,
and the Plaza del Campillo with its summer terraces.
Throughout the area of Puerta Real there are plenty of bars and restaurants.
If your stay in the capital coincides with the celebration of the patronal feasts, do not miss the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias (Church of Our Lady of Sorrows), to see how the faithful take flowers as offerings to the Virgin.
This takes place every 15 September and is a really beautiful and emotional event,
as the entire church facade is decked with the floral offerings.
Carrera de la Virgen
It's very pleasant to walk along the Carrera del Genil or Carrera de la Virgen, as the people of Granada call it, because the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, the patron saint of Granada, is located there.This beautiful tree-lined promenade becomes the scene of the patron saint's festivities in September, with the floral offering on September 15th and its procession on the last Sunday of the month.
Also, here is the last old cinema of Granada, the Madrigal, which miraculously survives. The Roman bridge of Granada
stands as a testament to much of the past in this beautiful corner of Granada.
Genil River and Paseo del Salón
At the end of the Carrera we find the place where the two rivers of Granada meet: the Darro and the Genil. And a beautiful stone bridge of Nasrid origin, although it is known as the Roman Bridge.
Discover the charm of the Public Library, whose building dates from 1917, and the historic gardens of the Hall of 1823-1830.
In these gardens and the promenade called Paseo del Salón you will find many more treasures.
The beautiful lampposts, the benches, the trees and the views of the Sierra Nevada at the end of the promenade, make this place a very special corner in Granada.
Above all, don't miss the Fuente de los Leones with its wonderful gate that leads to the beautiful kiosk of Las Titas.

Opinions about Beauty Spots in Granada
Fantastic place to visit
Loved visiting Granada, been several times. the city is a fantastic place to visit, steeped in history it will always have a place in our hearts. on each and every visit that we've made we have always been made welcome. The people of Granada are a credit to Spain and the Spanish way of life.
Sadly we can no longer get flights to Granada from our part of England (Liverpool and East Midlands) If flights were to resume you would find us on the first plane. So thank you to the people of Granada for making our visits so memorable (Cliff).
I would recommend Granada for anyone
I have visited Granada many times and am always charmed by the warmth of the people there. It is better now that there are flights direct from Manchester as we used to fly from Liverpool, the bus still runs from the airport into the town, it's great.
If you love tapas you will love Granada, with some excellent bars and cafes and restaurants, so many to choose from. I love the choice near to the Hotel Navas, excellent !!
I would thoroughly recommend Granada for anyone wanting to take in a small Spanish City, with the stunning Alhambra Palace and Sierra Nevada mountains to visit, fantastic.
