Overlooking the Alhambra, Sacromonte is a place for strange housings. Halfway mountain caves, halfway concrete buldings, mostly painted white wich gave clear associations to Greece. Never got to visit one of the flamenco clubs, however, which makes another good reason to visit Granada again.

We stayed in a cave for two nights in Sacromonte and had a wonderful time. We visited in Feb, so the place was probably a lot quiter than it would be in the summer, but we really enjoyed having the place to ourselves. The views from up here towards the Alhambra are beautiful, as are the surrounding hills, in which... More

There is a public bus taking you up there for €1.20 or so pp. The journey itself is amazing as the small bus (8 seats) weaves its way through very narrow streets. Once up there it is very easy to just walk back down. The Mirador restaurant was exceptional with lots of famous faces having been there.

With having a drink from this friendly nice place, sit and enjoy the view of Alhambra. Do not forget to ask the workers their about the history of this cave and how it was used by the original people.

The weather was cold with rain and hail, so we were not so keen to walk around the neighborhoods.

Yep, it's touristy. If you're reading this, you're probably a tourist! Sacromonte is a fun place to see- beware of being invited into caves to take pics.. you might get charged. Oh well - go with the flow, have an open mind, pop into a cave filled with tourists and watch some live music and dancing... It's an experience not... More

The best Flamenco shows are at this hill. It was amazing! Shows are starting at night, after 22:00. And they're not expensive. And also not for tourists. They are real show from Gypsies.

It was one of the best Flamenco show I ever attended! It is a must - it is a necessary part of GRANADA experience! For me it was as much enjoyable as Alhambra, and even more!

Take the 35 number bus or hike your way up to this monastery for one of the best views of Granada and the Alhambra from a different angle. Standing by the hill-top, the valleys of the Sierra Nevada beckon at you from one end and Alhambra and the city bask in sunlight at the other end. Splendid splendid view!
