“This is the most beautiful sunset in the world” - Bill Clinton, ex-President of the United States, after watching it from the Mirador de San Nicolás. The view is of the Alhambra in all its splendour, with the mountains in the background. “In Granada there are more enchantments than scarlet seeds in the fruit of the valleys” - Victor Hugo, French writer. Enchantments that can captivate you, like the spontaneous flamenco performances at the Mirador de los Carvajales while you look at the Alhambra. Or viewing the world’s most flamenco-infused district, Albaicín, from the Mirador de la Churra. “Granada is so moving that it obliterates the senses” - Henri Matisse, French painter. The city’s scenery is an inspiration for all the arts. From the Mirador de la Placeta del Comino, you can see the lushly planted gardens of the Alhambra. “Granada has no defences against the people, because nobody can defend themselves from praise” - Federico García Lorca, Spanish poet. Because as well as lovely views, there are quiet and soothing places like the silent Mirador de Santa Isabel la Real.
