Granada Costa del Sol


Far from the coast, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada is the legendary city of Granada. The sea is over a 70 kilometres from this city. From the city you can see the snow covered mountain of the Sierra Nevada. Granada is filled with history, the only thing you have to walk and look around. For example the name Granada tells you something about the history of Granada, because the Arabs gave the city this name. Granada was the last city to be concurred by the Catholic Monarchs and it was a difficult transition from Islam to Christianity.

There is a special building on every corner of the street, there is always something to do in Granada. Probably best known is Alhambra, this amazing complex of buildings is on the top of the hill. Parts of the city are on the World Heritage List, so you will understand that this city will keep surprising you.

La Alhambra

Granada has many students, it has the third largest university of Spain. This is one of the reasons why in the summer, other than most other Spanish cities, it is quieter than normally. This when the students go back to there hometowns and a lot of people go to the beach. But there is still enough to do in this city, as you can read at Local feasts and traditions.
