Before choosing a location for your photo shoot, there are a few things to consider:

The best places in Granada for romantic and original wedding photos
Granada has magical places that turn every photo shoot into a unique experience. Here are some of my favourites:
1. The Alhambra and the Generalife
The Alhambra is the symbol of Granada and an unbeatable place for wedding photos full of history and romance. Its gardens, fountains and panoramic views offer endless possibilities.
📍 Best time for photos: sunset, when the golden light highlights the architecture and the warm colours of the palaces.
2. The Albaicín and its viewpoints
This historic quarter is one of the most special places for couple photos. Its cobbled streets, white houses and viewpoints overlooking the Alhambra create a bohemian and romantic atmosphere.
📍 Recommended viewpoints:
- San Nicolás viewpointThe most iconic view of the Alhambra.

- Viewpoint of La Churrahidden and with a very romantic air.
3. El Carmen de los Mártires
A hidden garden in the heart of the city, with fountains, sculptures and corners that look like something out of a fairy tale. Perfect for elegant weddings with a classic touch.
📍 Best time for photos: the midday light illuminates its fountains and gardens spectacularly.
4. Sierra Nevada
