Restaurant
Restaurante Mirador Carmen de San Miguel is nestled in a place steeped in history and magic, on the slopes of the Alhambra in Granada and at the foot of Torres Bermejas.
Located in the upper part of the popular neighborhood of Realejo, an old medieval Jewish city, it has been a silent witness to historical events such as the flight of the last Nasrid king Muhammad XII, Boabdil for Christians, and the passage of emblematic characters such as the illustrious Russian musician Mikhail Glinka, who during the winter of 1845-1846 studied the popular music of the time installed in this carmen. Enjoy beautiful views of Granada with dishes made with 100% Granada products.
Carmen
The word "Carmen" comes, as is generally accepted and is collected by the Dictionary of the Spanish language, from the Arabic-Hispanic word karm which, in its broadest meaning, means "vineyard", although in Nasrid times it designated a type of Rustic property located outside the city walls of Granada.
It offers a first-rate cultural calendar, numerous festivals and traditions and a lively atmosphere fostered by the more than 65,000 students enrolled at the University of Granada. For lovers of nature and rural tourism, the province is home to five natural parks and one national park. The peace and tranquility that is breathed in the small towns of the Alpujarra invite the visitor to stay forever. The interior areas, such as the Marquesado and the Altiplano, offer the incredible contrast of desert landscapes, almost lunar in appearance, with the lush vegetation of the surrounding mountains. Granada is a province to enjoy, a province to get lost in, a unique place to find yourself again.
Most of the cármenes that survive today belong to this period, restored and adapted to the new times, as is the case of Carmen de San Miguel.
