Great View of Granada

by Anne Watcher on Sunday February 6th, 2011 at 2:13pm

The Bell Tower, located at the intersection of Calle Real Xalteva and the Avenida 14 de September, boosts the best view of the city and surrounding area. Very old narrow, winding steps make for an interesting climb. Once you get to the top you are treated to a great view. Only down side was that they would not let you ring the bells!!
