the mezquita is in the albayzin quarter, opposite the alhambra. there is a bus from the plaza nueva, but we walked up from the square up the narrow winding pathways towards the mosque and viewpoint. muslim visitors will want to pray in the mosque, and the ablution facilities were welcome for cooling down after the climb on friday afternoon to get there for jumma prayers. the congregation seemed to be a mix of locals from little morocco, as well as a diverse group of tourists from many nations. the inside of the mosque is very tastefully decorated and in keeping with the local history and culture. the views from the mosque and the adjacent mirador are amazing and unrivalled from any other viewpoint. there are ice-creams and drinks available from local shops. this and the mirador should be part of any trip to granada. it was a 20 minute climb in the beating afternoon sun, but well worth the trouble!…

This place has a beautiful garden and stunning views which is less crowded than san mirador right next door. It is a peaceful place to just sit.

Next to San Nicholas Mirador, Mezquita Mayor de Granada has a beautiful garden with a white Mosque inside. Informational posters to read. I wish that I had felt more welcomed by the people in this lovely setting, but it was still a good experience. Beautiful views for photo opportunities. One vendor in the garden selling helados for 1.50 Euros each. The chocolate and raspberry were delicious.…

Situated next to the Mirador San Nicolás - I found the view of the sunset over Granada & the view of the Alhambra at night so much better from here. Nice friendly genuine locals to talk to & try their mint tea for only €1
