I liked the live music being played in the Plaza and the spectacular views of the Alhambra. This is a great place to get your photo taken with a backdrop of the Alhambra and the city below. Beautiful stonework around the church.
We walked to Plaza de San Nicolas prior to visiting the Alhambra and the view was really amazing and well-worth the hike up the hill. Some guidebooks seem (at least to me) to really take pains to caution people not to try the walk. Everyone should consider what is comfortable for them and it is definitely uphill and you need to be very attentive to signs, but as someone closer to 70 than 60 and used to walking, I found the walk to be a great deal of fun, with many good vistas on the way. On arrival, the views were really priceless.
It is a nice and relaxing plaza in the top of the city with the best views of the Alhambra. Not of easy access. There is a lot of street selling but is not anoying at all. Surounding bars are not cheap at all.
The best place to stop and take pictures of the Alhambra, and the surrounding neighborhood is also pretty and interesting to walk around. It is very crowded, but people were polite about giving others the opportunity to get photos. I highly recommend going at sunset.
Fantastic views of the Alhambra spectacular at sundown when the spotlights aluminate the Alhambra well worth a visit
Definitely a must stop for teas, spices and people watching. Enjoy a cerveza from one of the many cafeterias and restaurants.
An energetic walk up the hill, but what a great view of Alhambra. Lively but not noisy.Might be a challenge for people with poor mbility
The plaza in front of the church has amazing views of Alhambra and the usual assortment of musicians and vendors.... the views from the top of the bell tower are worth the entry fee.
We made our way to Plaza San Nicolas for, as everyone does, glorious views of the Alhambra at sunset. We settled into our restaurant, enjoying salad and bread and wine as the sun set and the Alhambra began to glow.
From here, you get a beautiful view of Alhambra. The view gets even more fantastic at dusk, with the crimson light. When we were there, there were some stalls selling local products and buskers to make it a hive of activities.
