Es un lugar maravilloso con impresionantes vistas mientras subes por el camino del Sacromonte donde vas viendo la Alhambra a lo largo de casi todo el camino hay varios miradores. La Abadía ahora mismo se encuentra restaurando su fachada principal pero merece la pena subir a verla. Junto a ella está un mirador do de poder contemplar un atardecer inolvidable.

Lugar maravilloso tanto exteriormente como en su interior, lleno de historia de la ciudad y de su propia existencia. Merece la pena pagar su visita, la iglesia se puede visitar en horario de culto de forma gratuita, las tallas religiosas son de gran valor. Puedes llegar en coche y diapone de aparcamiento. A pie tambien pero no es aconsejable para personas con movilidas reducida.

La Abadía se sitúa en el monte Valparaíso, en la ribera del río Darro. Se encontraron los restos de San Cecilio y los libros plumbeos planchas de plomo en los hornos de época romana. La subida en Autobús urbano es una experiencia muy agradable, pasa por unas calles super estrechas y bonitas hasta llegar arriba. El mirador es un lugar espectacular, se ve la ciudad y la Alhambra protegiéndola. La visita cuesta unos 7 Euros y puedes ver incluso unas cuevas que tiene la abadia

Muy bonito y con una historia interesante. En la audioguía (que viene con la entrada) se explica perfectamente todo lo que se observa durante la visita. Lo más atrayente de este sitio, para mí, son las santas cuevas. Hay un mirador con unas vistas muy bonitas de la Alhambra y la ciudad.

Vale la pena, sin duda. Aunque no está totalmente restaurada, el claustro y la cueva merecen ser disfrutados con calma. Hay objetos peculiares, libros, e incluso una obra de Goya. La aplicación de audio guía es completa. Las espectaculares vistas de la Alhambra son un plus.

Lugar hermoso y mágico , se llega bien en bus desde Granada , por una carretera rodeada de montes. Recomiendo bajar después de la visita por un camino hasta el mirador, donde hay unas vistas preciosas.

Lugar perfecto para dar un paseo y con unas vistas inmejorables.

Wonderful spiritual place! Beautiful nature! You can see the Sierra Nevada! In the museum of the monastery very good old books!

The abbey of the sacrament is a worthwhile excursion when visiting Granada. It is 30-40 minute walk from the central plaza on a very scenic route overlooking the river Darro, and the C34 bus stops very close to the summit (good for those less able to climb the hill). It is reasonably priced for what it is. The museum exhibits are really good, with mostly original artefacts and a great audio guide to go with them. The caves (where the lead books, that spurred the founding of the abbey, were found) were also fascinating. The abbey has a great example of a Baroque-style Spanish church.

Beautiful gem of an attraction a 40 minute walk from downtown Grenada. Very quiet when we visited on a Wednesday morning in October, a welcome difference to the Alhambra crowd. The walk through Sacramonto is worth it as well.

Great place to visit! Full of history and spirituality. Really nice! Audio guide was very helpful. Is part of Granada Cristiana itinerary, so tickets can be combined with other places.

A pleasant visit with a worthwhile audio tour on the free app. It is great that the Abby provides WiFi to download the app. An interesting museum, caves and artwork. I walked to the rear of the compound and saw the horrific damage to the new wing caused by a fire in 2000.

A superb visit. I recommend it if you are in Gránada and are fond of religious art and baroque art. It is a steep walk up, but you can also easily access it by bus or by taxi.

It's really unique and beautiful. A lot of area to explore, most interesting one is the cave inside the Abbey A free audio guide (via download to your phone) with the entrance ticket purchase. The car park area offers great view of Alhambra. It's recommended to reach with public bus c34. Please check the visiting hours from the official website before coming to the Abbey. As we all know, there's mid day break culture in Spain (siesta).

Forget the cathedral, this place is pretty unique in Granada and in Spain. Sacromonte means holy mountain. The abbey was built above some holy caves in which the relics of the patron saint of the city were found together with the so called “lead book”, a sort of mysterious ancient gospel written in archaic Arabic that gives a new much closer relationship between Islam and Christianity. There are David”s stars everywhere in the complex, something that I have never seen before in any Christian building that I have visited. Also some of the paintings in the little church are outstanding. To finish with there is the famous sculpture of the Jesus of the gypsy which is taken out in an emotional procession by the local gypsy community in the Holy Week. Plenty of material here for a great historical novel!

A unique gem to visit in Granada. Easy to reach with the C34 bus from the center (and walking back via the mirador del San Miguel). The abbey is very beautiful. In particular the cloisters and the church. The best though is the chapels in the sacred caves. A must visit. Also for the views

It's not just the sunset facing viewpoint of the entire city and the Alhambra that makes this a necessary journey (via bus C34) out of the main sights. The abbey and holy caves are an interesting experience by themselves and quite educational about the history of Christianity that has been refuted by the Vatican. Spent about 2 hours here before taking an easy walk downhill towards Sacromonte and the main city area.

Pretty magical place located in the mountains. I recommend going there by a city bus. The entry costs €5. Inside there is a church, crypts and small museum. The views are also amazing

Take the time (and a taxi or the bus line Centro-Sacramento) to visit, indispensable to the history of Christianity. Important collection of art and documents. Higher and across the gorge-valley from Alhambra, you can see the Sierra Nevada, The views are incredible from here.

The Abbey of Sacromonte is well worth seeing, and it would be important to organise a tour as the location is currently being renovated and there is much work to do - so hearing the story is more important. When in Granada, make sure you walk to here from the City centre, as the route up is wonderful (as long as it isn't too hot) - the views, buildings, people, aromas of Rosemary are all part of the experience. It is exceptional to watch the sunset over the City from the Abadia, and there is a wall that you can sit on and take photographs - the warm air moves around here and it is a beautiful place, with views over the Alhambra as well. Highly recommended.

Alejada del centro llegas tras un paseo de 40 minutos o en el bus C34. Puedes visitar el claustro de gran tamaño y la colegiata que tiene un carácter catedralicio. También las santas cuevas donde percibirás una sensación de fe y oración. Un patio con diferentes esculturas completa la visita

La entrada la veo cara, 7 euros. Por lo demás un sitio muy interesante para visitar. Con una buena Antioquia. Luego las vista panorámicas de Granada y la Alhambra, espectaculares. Conviene subir en el C34 , una subida importante. La bajada se puede hacer andando

It’s pretty on the inside. You must hike up the steep hill, it’s just a self walk a round, nothing special. Come here if you have seen everything else in Granada. Good view of Granada and Al Hambra.

Steve Turner

The Abby was to say the least somewhat disappointing. There is very little to see and what there is, is not that interesting. There are some good views of the Alhambra as you track up the steep road but that is not much compensations. This is very definitely one of those sites you visit were the effort to get thee far exceeds to benefits of the visit.

It's an interesting place, free wifi and app will allow you listen in your own language as you walk from room to room which are numbered. If you are tall mind your head in the caves.

Great off the beaten track place to see, 7€ entrance and is very interesting while the staff are very helpful! The small town below is worth a visit too, call and see the flamenco show in the cave too if you are there later in the day!

Quite hard to reach as you can only take one bus up here. But with the audio tour downloaded on your phone everything is well explained. Learned about the lifestyle of the monks living here as well as the importance of the manuscripts that were translated. Up here there is also very good views of the Alhambra from the other angle.

The Sacromonte Abbey was not easy for us to reach on foot. We took the C34 bus, which fortunately ran rather frequently. We arrived at 13:18, and a lady was already at the door preparing to close it for the 14:00-15:00 break. Luckily, she let us in before closing. Unfortunately, the couple behind us walked straight to the viewing point and missed the entrance. We were advised by the lady to start at Point #15 and visit the holy caves first, listening to the audio at home (???), as we wouldn't have enough time. We found the advice a bit odd and pondered how we could understand what we were seeing without the audio guide. The abbey was quite interesting and modestly constructed, which perhaps reflected the monks' lifestyle. The holy caves were pretty interesting and special. However, we did not feel that there was a lot to see for €6. The view of the Alhambra in the distance was nice, but it would have been nicer if it had been less sunny - an external factor. I would have given a 4-star rating if the service at the ticket desk was more professional.

Was closed for work! The way up is a steep climb, but still a nice walk! There’s a bus that drives up! The view is beautiful all along the road to the mountain and Alhambra and Sacromonte neighborhood, but arriving there the building wasn’t interesting and it was disappointing finding it closed! I joined pictures from the hike up and from Abadia

Mi comentario no puntua la Abadia, monumento y colección de gran interés, sinó su atención al público. Llegamos en transporte público y con una persona mayor que necessitava urgentemente ir al servicio. En la entrada encuentras un cartel informativo que indica la existencia de aseos, además de comida, bebida y tienda de recuerdos. La comida y bebida son máquinas de vending. Al pedir por el aseo y explicar el motivo, la señora de recepción nos indica que no es público, y que si queremos aseo paguemos antes los 7 euros de la entrada. Y punto y final. Ninguna atenció o gentileza por ser mayor. Digo yo que después de recibir casi 3,5 millores de euros de ayuda estatal para la restauración de la Abadia, y al ser un monumento en la cima de la montaña y sin otros servicios, restaurantes, etc. cercanos, la postura del personal es lamentable. Y aporto las fotos que respaldan mi opinión. Jo siempre creí que una Abadia era un lugar de acogida. Esta parece que no lo es.
