Maybe it’s one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world. With views of the Alhambra, it manages to make all the visitors who come up to contemplate its spectacular views enjoy themselves. Besides, you will love the atmosphere since many dares to play some music and dance flamenco. Perhaps the worst thing is the number of people that there are always. Granada will undoubtedly captivate you in two days.
If you prefer more privacy, but with good views, you can visit the Mirador de San Cristobal or the Mirador of Los Carvajales. They are much less known and you will enjoy more tranquility.
Caminando Granada
If in your getaway to visit places in Granada you want to discover an authentic Granada neighborhood you can not miss the Barrio del Albaicin of Granada. It was a place where the first Muslim court was erected in the eleventh century.
It was home to more than 40,000 people and 30 mosques. Typical are its narrow streets and small houses. It also has numerous cisterns, some of which are preserved today. Two days in Granada? Does that seem untrue?
The Albaicin quarter of Granada is a place to relax, to walk its narrow streets and discover places that you won’t find in any guide. You will be able to enjoy a good cane with its respective cover seated in one of its terraces. If you want to enjoy a sunset this is a perfect place to contemplate the Alhambra.
Although you can choose to go up for a walk enjoying its narrow streets, you can also take one of the minibusses that make tours.
The last departure from Plaza Nueva towards the Albaicin neighborhood is around 23:00 from Sunday to Thursday; Fridays and Saturdays extend the timetable until 01:00 in the morning.
Another option is to take a taxi.
There are many places to see in Granada in two days, but we recommend that you at least do not skip any of the places described in the post. Give yourself time!
Do you want to know why it’s called that? Officially it is Paseo del Padre Manjón, but it is known as Paseo de los Tristes because it was the place where the funeral cortege passed on its way to the cemetery.

Granada will probably be very short in two days because although it is not an extremely large city, it does have a lot of history to discover.
If you can enjoy more than two days in Granada do not miss the Science Park. The Bioparc is located there, so if you visit the city with children and are an animal lover this can be a good place to spend a morning or afternoon.
