Route through the viewpoints of Granada

Granada is one of the world famous cities, and not only for its historical heritage, but also for its photogenic nature. The Alhambra and the Albaicín neighbourhood are some of its icons, but there are many other places that deserve to be remembered, such as the Vereda de Enmedio viewpoint or the Jardines del Triunfo. This time we bring you a mixed route, an outdoor getaway in a motorhome to see Granada from a different perspective: MTB sport and its cultural and gastronomic component.

If we choose this location to spend the night, we can start the mountain bike route from the Dehesa del Generalife viewpoint and continue towards Manflor. The route is circular, which allows us to cycle around all the viewpoints until we return to the place where we have parked the motorhome.

* Cultural context. To speak of Granada is to speak of its architectural ensemble of the Alhambra, the most important Arab city in the world and symbol of Granada. This, of course, is one of the key points of the BTT route.

It is made up of different areas that we will visit: the Alcazaba, the core of the fortress; the Palace of Charles V, a Christian construction that also houses the Museum of Fine Arts; the Generalife, a place of rest and gardens; and of course the Nasrid palaces, the heart of the Alhambra and the seat of the sultans.

It is also worth visiting the other monuments and places of interest on the hill and in the forest of the Alhambra, such as the Carmen de los Mártires, one of the most romantic gardens in Granada, or the Rodríguez-Acosta Foundation, declared a national monument both for its architectural value and its gardens.

ROUTE BY THE VIEWPOINTS OF GRANADA

The proposed mountain bike route passes through the most representative viewpoints of the city of Granada, from where we will have to make the obligatory stops to enjoy the best views of the city.

Starting from the Fuente de los Mojarras we will go to the Cerro San Miguel, passing through the Jardines del Triunfo, Jesús del Valle, La Alhambra, Mesa del Llano viewpoint, Sacromonte Abbey, Cerro del Sol, Dehesa del Generalife, Manflor viewpoint, Paseo de los Tristes, San Cristobal viewpoint, San Miguel, San Nicolás, Silla del Moro and the Vereda de Enmedio.

As this is a sporting proposal, we include the rest of the information of tourist, historical and gastronomic interest in the file where we provide further information in all our reports, so that you can choose the ones you are interested in visiting.
