Look across at sunset—the red hill glows.


Essentials

  • Mirador de San Nicolás at golden hour; San Cristóbal for fewer crowds.
  • Notice cármenes—walled gardens with deep roots.
  • Quiet hours—respect residents; keep lanes peaceful.

Bottom Line

Views are gifts—arrive gently and leave no trace.
