Alhambra Forest
Albaicín, Granada
"A shaded central park winding up toward the palace; great for a pre‑tour stroll."
Looking beyond the veil within the Alhambra Forest reveals a woodland of magic. From wildflowers (like “Chinese Hats”) to hazel trees to elderberry plants, an interesting forestry surrounds Granada’s famous fort. Start exploring from the Torre de los Picos. Some key monuments to discover around the park are two ancient gates (12th-century Puerta de Vivarrambla and 16th-century Puerta de las Granadas, i.e., Gate of the Pomegranates); the Crimson Towers (locally named Torres Bermejas) and the Pilar de Carlos V fountain.
