Traveler reviews
Kevin Jang
★★★★★2 months agoThis was the place where we could see the Alhambra Palace even more closely, and it felt as if each breath connected us with the history of the past. The atmosphere itself was deeply emotional and unforgettable. What made it even more special was witnessing a couple’s proposal there, making the place feel incredibly romantic. It remains one of the most memorable moments of the trip.
Emig Rant
★★★★★a year agoI highly recommend visiting this observation deck. An unusual source of water, the sound of water, the shadow of large trees, a beautiful view of the Alhambra, there are benches in the shade, and below there is a fountain with ice-cold water. This is a wonderful place.
