The Magic of the Alhambra, Albayzín, and Sacromonte at Sunset
The sunset walking tour was spectacular! Our guide Mario was friendly, engaging, personable, and well-versed in the history and culture of Albayzín and Sacromonte. As he took us through their narrow uphill walkways and steps, he expertly brought the area’s rich Moorish history to life and helped us gain an appreciation not only for its complex history but also for its architecture. We had done an earlier guided tour of the Alhambra complex that morning. The sunset tour guided by Mario offered another heavenly vision of the fortress: seeing the Alhambra awash in the soft glow of the setting sun only further enhanced the enchanting beauty of this remarkable, magical place. We were able to experience the Alhambra from the very beginning of sunset until the sun went completely down. Mario took us to Mirador de San Nicolas in Albayzin, which offers a panoramic view of the Alhambra. Although this viewpoint is very crowded, we still managed to take breathtaking photos. He also pointed out the Mezquita Mayor de Granada, located right next to the viewpoint. We wound our way downhill, admiring views of the Darro valley, cave houses that are built into the side of the hill in Sacromonte (a gypsy community) and beautiful panoramic views of the Alhambra. We also were able to go into one of the cave houses. In Sacromonte, Mario took us to one of his favorite viewpoints of the Alhambra: Mirador de Mario Maya, located in the Sacromonte area. It was easy to understand why—besides bearing his namesake and being uncrowded, it is one of his favorites! Here, across the valley, we saw a spectacular, panoramic view of the Alhambra basking in the glow of both the artificial lights and the ambient light of the already set sun, with the Sierra Nevada Mountains looming in the background! We highly recommend this wonderful, magical tour! Mario’s tour was wonderful in that it was interactive, informative, and most of all enjoyable and beautiful!
