Mirador de la Placeta de los Carvajales, Scenic viewpoint in Albaicín, Spain

The Carvajal family, originally from León, established their presence in Granada during the 15th century, leaving their mark on this observation point.

The viewpoint incorporates traditional Granada architecture with its rectangular water fountain and native trees, reflecting local design principles.

The site remains open throughout the day without entrance fees, with benches available for visitors to rest while enjoying the panoramic views.

From this vantage point, observers can see both the Generalife gardens and the Silla del Moro fortress against the mountain backdrop.
