While the Alhambra towers over the city, the Albaicín quarter on the opposite slope is just as magical to explore. The old Moorish quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with labyrinthine, cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and hidden courtyards.
Walk up to the Mirador de San Nicolás viewpoint at sunset for the classic postcard view of the Alhambra with the Sierra Nevada mountains in the background. Why not combine the visit with a trip to the Alhambra and some tapas in the lively Realejo quarter.
