Staying in Sacromonte
Before booking a cave room, ask about ventilation, natural light and the path from the road. Camino del Sacromonte is the main reference, but accommodation above it may need a further climb. Evening performances also affect when neighboring terraces and paths are busy. Keep the host's arrival instructions available offline, and organize your return before leaving for dinner in the lower city.
