One cannot visit Granada without witnessing the beauty of the Albaicín district, with its steep winding streets, maze of patios and hidden squares, its magic and, of course, the Mirador de San Nicolás. 

Every afternoon, when the sun starts to go down, the Mirador de San Nicolás becomes a place from where to watch perhaps the most beautiful sunset in the world as many people have described it. Only then, bathed in the warmest rays of the sun and with a wonderful view of the Alhambra, can one truly understand why the Nazari sultans called their most refined work in Al-Andalus “The Red Castle”. This place also offers the purest of Flamenco from the local people who add a soundtrack to this spectacular moment in return for a few coins.

The Four des Navette bakery can be found opposite the abbey. This is the oldest bakery in the city (established in 1781) and where the Saint Victor navettes (the most typical sweet pastries from Marseille) are still made and sold to this day. These boat-shaped pastries are made using traditional methods and carefully selected flour from a recipe that dates back more than 200 years, and are baked in an oven that dating back to 1781 which follows the original Roman model, giving them a totally unique flavour.

Another of their specialities is the pompe à l’huile (olive oil bread); a dessert made from flour, olive oil, sugar and orange blossom.

A place well worth discovering! Check out our flights here.
