El Camborio

El Camborio is a nightclub set into the Sacromonte hillside on Camino del Sacromonte in Granada, in Andalusia, Spain. The Sacromonte district is known for its whitewashed cave dwellings and flamenco heritage, and El Camborio uses the same hillside setting, with a terrace that faces the Alhambra across the valley. The view is a major part of the appeal, particularly when the palace complex is lit at night. The crowd is mainly university students and young visitors, from the late teens to thirties, and the atmosphere is sociable and busy, with people moving between the indoor club space and the outdoor terrace. There is no strict dress code, though casual-smart evening clothes are typical and sports kit is best avoided at club doors. Music is club-oriented, with commercial and dance styles typical of Granada's student scene. The drinks programme is bar-style, with beer, spirits and mixed drinks at roughly €5 to €12, higher than at the tapas bars in the centre because of the club format and the setting. Opening hours are not fixed in the available sources, so visitors should confirm nightlife hours locally before going; as with most Spanish clubs, the busiest period is late, from around midnight into the early morning. Cover charge arrangements also vary and should be confirmed locally. Table reservations and bottle service may be arranged for groups, but details should be asked at the venue. The Sacromonte road is steep and winding, and the club is some distance from the centre, so a taxi both to and from the venue is the practical choice at night. Walking back along the dark hillside paths is not advisable after a long evening. The venue suits those who want a club night with a distinctive Granada backdrop rather than a standard city-centre dance floor.
