Mirador de la Vereda de Enmedio — Attraction in Granada

Go back in time by visiting this incredibly interesting neighbourhood with stunning views of the Alhambra and the rest of the city. Here in these caves is where Flamenco was born (in Granada). Cave dwellings have been lived in for a few millennia here.
