San Cristobal Viewpoint

28 reviews of San Cristobal Viewpoint

A small viewpoint

Granada is the city where I was born and where I have always lived until six years ago when I moved to Barcelona to work as a designer.

Now, every time I go back to Granada to visit my family, I feel the charm of Granada invades me and fills me with melancholy.

I decided to take a picture of the Alhambra as the most representative symbol of the magic of my city. I didn't want to take it from where everyone else does, but from a small viewpoint: the Mirador de San Cristobal in upper Albaicín. To take pictures, I waited the whole afternoon until it got dark.

View of Granada

A fantastic vantage point in the middle of Albaicín from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire city of Granada, including a side view of the Alhambra and the Palacio de Carlos V.

Door to the Albayzin

The San Cristobal Viewpoint is what I'd consider the door to the Albayzin, and is a good place to start your explorations. Nothing fancy here, just a small square which has some of the most awe-inspiring views of the Alhambra available.

Mirador de San Cristobal

Mirador de San Cristóbal

En efecto, todo el mundo se va al Mirador de San Nicolás; yo también fui después para ver la puesta de sol desde allí, pero es por ignorancia (los que no somos de Granada no lo sabemos), ya que desde este de San Cristobal, efectivamente se ve todo igual y más tranquilo. Estas tres fotos son desde el Mirador de San Cristóbal.
Indeed, the whole world goes to Mirador de San Nicolas, I also went later to see the sunset from there, but it's out of ignorance (those who are not of Granada do not know), because from east of San Cristobal indeed it looks all the same and quieter. These three photos are from the Mirador de San Cristobal.

Un mirador desde el que disfrutar de unas amplias vistas de Granada y la Alhambra . Se ven las murallas y gran parte de la ciudad (también la catedral) y algo de la zona de la Vega de Granada . Buen punto de partida para empezar a callejear por el barrio del Albayzin, patrimonio de la humanidad.

Stunning views

Impresionantes vistas

Excellent
Sitio que no puede faltar para visitar. La subida es algo complicada a pie por la gran cuesta, pero merece la pena. Una vez que la subes puedes volver a hacerlo con líneas de bus y minibus por 1.50€.

Situado al oeste del Albaicín. La vista incluye, destacados lugares como: la Catedral, la muralla zirí del siglo XI, la iglesia de San Cristóbal, el palacio de Dar-Al-Horra, así como una vista lateral de la Alhambra y el palacio de Carlos V ya que se encuentra en uno de los puntos más altos del Albaicín, dominando lo que era la antigua ciudadela, cuyos muros, levantados por los musulmanes en el siglo XI para proteger su fortaleza, se extienden a lo largo de la vereda occidental.
From here we can contemplate an impressive panoramic view of Granada ... located west of the Albaicín. The view includes, highlights such as: the Cathedral, the zirí wall of the eleventh century, the church of San Cristóbal, the palace of Dar-Al-Horra, as well as a side view of the Alhambra and the palace of Carlos V as it is located in one of the highest points of the Albaicín, dominating what was the old citadel, whose walls, erected by the Muslims in the eleventh century to protect its strength, extend along the western path.

ATTENTION THEATERS IN GRANADA

Atención robos en Granada

Lamentablemente quiero informar que hay unos individuos residentes de allí en este mirador, los cuales se dedican a observarte y cuando te bajas del coche aparcado para dirigirte al mirador te rompen el cristal del coche para llevarse todos los objetos personales de su interior. Esto lo hacen en cuestión de tres minutos. Quería compartir mi experiencia para prevenir a los futuros visitantes. Un mirador con vistas increíbles, no queriamos irnos de Granada sin pasar por el mirador.
Unfortunately I want to report that there are some residents there in this viewpoint, which are dedicated to observe you and when you get off the parked car to go to the viewpoint you break the glass of the car to take all personal items inside. This they do in a matter of three minutes. I wanted to share my experience to prevent future visitors. A viewpoint with incredible views, we did not want to leave Granada without going through the viewpoint.
