Informazioni su The Cross statue in Mirador de San Cristóbal

The Cross statue stands at the Mirador de San Cristóbal, a viewpoint in the Albaicín, the old hillside district of Granada. It is a quiet stop on the upper slopes of the neighbourhood, where the streets open out and the city spreads below you.

Tips for your visit

Allow 15 to 30 minutes to take in the spot and the view, longer if you want to rest after the climb.
The Albaicín is steep and its streets are narrow and uneven, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
Late afternoon is a pleasant time to come, when the light is softer and the walk is cooler than at midday.
Combine it with other viewpoints and lanes of the Albaicín rather than making a special trip for this one stop.

Explore it on a quest

The best way to enjoy this corner of the Albaicín is on foot, as part of a longer route. Questo's self-guided quests lead you from place to place on your phone, tell you about each stop as you arrive and set a puzzle in what is in front of you. Browse the quests in Granada and start whenever you like, with no guide and no group to join.
