Granada

Historically Granada is the last redoubt of the Moorish Kingdom in Western Europe, the Alhambra and the Generalife are samples of the splendour of this civilisation.

Granada is also a Renaissance city; the Hospital Real and the Cathedral are two examples of Granada's well-preserved historical heritage.

Granada has an exceptional geography, midway between the warm sea and the high mountains: 45 minutes by car from the province of Granada's beaches, 75 minutes from Malaga, and 30 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski resort (above) at a height of 3,400 metres.
