Hike&Tapas: sunset above the Alhambra

​Describe

​

​Join us for a beautiful circular hike through some of Granada’s most fascinating natural and historical landscapes! We’ll follow parts of the ancient Acequia Real de la Alhambra, walk through the peaceful Dehesa del Generalife, cross Llano de la Perdiz, enjoy panoramic views from Cerro del Sol, and discover the area of the old Roman gold mines. In the heart of spring, the route is especially beautiful, with flowers blooming and the hills full of fresh colour. And the real highlight comes on the way back: as the afternoon light softens, we’ll enjoy spectacular sunset views over the Alhambra and Granada. Without a doubt the biggest treasure of this hike.
