In Plaza Nueva take bus 31 or 35, the bus stop is on the right of the plaza (the buses are small and red, and look like ambulances).
The bus drives along the river (Paseo de los Tristes) and then turns left up a steep hill (Cuesta del Chapiz), stop at the top of the Cuesta, just before the traffic lights.

Then take the first street on your right (Camino de Sacromonte). Walk along the Camino until you see the first steps on your left (there is a sign 'Apartamentos Montes Claros' on the wall), climb these steps
At the top of the steps, take the first right , keep walking straight and turn left.
Climb (last time) the stairs between the cactus garden and the white tower.
