About
- Terraced garden hanging from the gorge, linked by stairs and little cobbled paths
- One of the best side views of the Puente Nuevo, and you can also see the Puente Viejo
- Roses, cypresses, oleanders, olive trees and citrus: it is cooler than up top
- Much quieter than the viewpoints next to the bridge
Good to know
- Best in the morning: that's when the sun hits this side of the bridge
- Wear comfortable shoes: you go down steps and then have to climb back up
- If you meet a free-tour group, wait five minutes: they move on quickly
