Hermitage parking, noise and litter
18230, Atarfe
Been here?
Ground parking near the hermitage with attractive views, but recent conditions are poor. Access involves a narrow, steep road, and the area has litter, limited space, plants, and thistles. Traffic and restaurant music can be disruptive, although some earlier stays were quiet. A climbing area and children's area are mentioned, but the children's area has also been reported closed.

Very beautiful view... if you overlook the litter. The climb is steep and the road is narrow.
We left the viewpoint and came here, but we did not stay either. There is little space because there are currently many plants and thistles. Not at all peaceful, with cars constantly passing and music from the restaurant. We left as well.
Very quiet place. Perfect for one night. There are two roads providing access. It is better to take the second route, which is much less steep than the first.
Beautiful viewpoint. “Quiet” when there are no cars moving with two people inside making lots of noise... Quite a steep climb. - No children's playground; there is a closed gate. - Extremely dirty for a nature site. You have to climb to reach the viewpoint, but that is all.
perfect thanks. and these 20 characters...
better to use the road coming from the other side of the mountain, less curvy and steep, nice view, some waste, bit uneven, good place to walk around and climb (the site is closed for restoration but you can enter from the side by the collapsed fence - highschool had some climbing classes there). also you can smell the pollution from the city below.
The parking area is a little farther than the location of the fir tree indicated on the site. Large dirt parking area with two sections. Unobstructed view from the left parking area. No facilities. Unfortunately, some litter. We had a good, peaceful night's sleep. The climb and bends are a little difficult, but it is doable with an H3L3.
Great place! Very, very beautiful view, quiet, several spots to park and rubbish bins available. Really pleasant, very close to Granada. However, it was impossible to find the toilets, so do not rely on them.
Isolated, flat, beautiful view, short walks nearby, great spot!! Unfortunately for us, we were woken by a procession of cars and music from a restaurant/nightclub until 3 a.m... Warning: access is quite difficult, with very steep slopes. Not all vehicles will be able to climb up there.
Lovely spot with an elevated view. A few occasional walkers/joggers.
