For one of the most breathtaking, crowd-free views of the Alhambra, you have to visit the Silla del Moro. Ideal option if you feel like exploring a bit more after your Alhambra tour, as this is nearby. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, involving a walk uphill that keeps the crowds away. Once you reach the ruins of this ancient islamic watchtower, you'll be rewarded with a stunning panoramic perspective of the palaces and the city of Granada below. The castle itself is small, so the real magic is in the view and the peaceful atmosphere. From the nearest car park, expect about a 15-20 minute walk up a rough but rewarding road to get to the top. The tower is only open on Sundays, but you can still catch some views on another day.
