Granada is a city situated at the South-East part of Andalusia, with around 280.000 inhabitants. Thanks to its geographic situation and its orography, Sierra Nevada (3.480) ski slopes are at 30 Km distance to the city centre. Granada is one of the most atractive places in Europe for enjoying winter sports and culture in general.
Moreover, Granada is only 75 Km far away from the famous Tropical Coast!
It was the last kingdom to be reconquered by the Christians from the Moors. Its Moorishness is evident throughout the town, but especially in the Alhambra Palace and Generalife, one of the most visited monuments in the world, and, on the opposite hill, the Albaicín, the ancient moorish quarter with its narrow cobbled lanes and squares and traditional houses.
Renaissance because of the large amount of buildings in this style of architecture, particularly religious buildings, which were built at the time of the Christians arrival in the 16th century. Modernist since the beginning of the 20th century because of the modernist style borrowed from Catalonia after the creation of the Granadan sugar refining industry.
A centre for Flamenco, takes place on the district of Sacromonte, inhabited by gypsies who are singers, dancers and guitarists. They have spread their art throughout the world.
A university town, with one of the oldest universities in Spain (over 500 years old) and one of the biggest ones, with about 60,000 international students. Walking on the streets and going to the tapas’ bars will show you a young environment, that gives to Granada a typically Spanish character.
A cultural town. Apart from Semana Santa (Easter) and Fiestas del Corpus, other events stand out: Jazz Festival (Autumn), International Festival of Theatre (Spring) and International Festival of Music and Dance (Spring). As well as these events theatrical representations, concerts and flamenco shows, etc., occur throughout the year at the Manuel de Falla cultural centre, Palacio de Congresos and in other centres created for these purposes.
Thanks to all that, Granada has become a world reference for what refers to cultural life, traditions and toleration.
Have you ever heard about ‘tapas‘? For instance, every bar in Granada always offer tapas (a little meal) together with each glass of beer (or any drink). So, going to a tapas tour with iNMSOL will let you taste the most typical meals of the city and try one of the best beers of the world: the Alhambra 1925, made in Granada, of course, and named after the famous monument.
