10 Historic Sites in Albaicín That You Shouldn't Miss
The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

Albayzin is famous for its charming surroundings, cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and tapas bars. We walked along the little Albayzin streets and climbed up some steep steps leading to Mirador de San Nicolas located in the Albayzin neighbourhood for a spectacular view of the Alhambra, the Generalife, the city at its feet, and the magnificent Sierra Nevada right behind!

El Bañuelo is a nice example of Arab baths in Granada. It consists of three halls, and you access the bath from a small courtyard luxuriant in vegetation. The ceilings have holes (some of them in the form of a star) to let in some daylight, but not too much. It is restored, but in a pleasant and non-invasive way. You can buy a single ticket and visit Horno De Oro, Dar al Horra and Bañuelo. Free entrance on Sundays (as of May 2019)

I actually lived right up a hill near this. At first I had no idea what it was, but then a friend explained to me that it was once the entrance to the Alhambra area. It was an entire fort, and there were walls sprawling around this door as a gateway to the Alhambra.

A very pleasant palace with gardens and exhibition inside, not too crowded and located in the middle of a maze of narrow street, great to stroll around. Last but not least, a tower with a viewpoint is absolutely superb! Stunning views and not crowded at all, definitely pick this one over e.g. Mirador San Cristobal
