My tip“The visit is guided and must be booked in advance through the tourist office (the guide speaks English); the tour takes about two hours.”
A Nasrid fortress on a sheer rock, nicknamed “the Eye of Granada” because it watched over the western road to the capital. It was recently restored and its huge water cisterns uncovered.
Moderate effort, needs a car
By car (40 minutes from Granada); the guided tour takes about two hours, climbing paths and steep steps above the rock. Advance booking is compulsory. Little shade; services in the town.
