The moon slides up over terracotta roofs and the narrow alleys of the Albaicín, and the city exhales beneath you. On a two-hour walk guided by local professionals, you move through stone-paved lanes where lamp light pools and the Darro River seems to murmur encouragement. Conversation falls away as the San Nicolás viewpoint opens — the Alhambra takes a breath and glows across the valley.
