Granada, the last Arab Kingdom

On the skirts of Sierra Nevada, between Darro and Genil rivers, one of the most interesting cities in Western Andalucia stretches. Andalucia’s impressive legacy is added to the Renaissance architectonic jewels and to the most modern installations from the 21st century.

The fact of being the last conquered city by Catholic King and Queen in 1492 gives Granada an unmistakable Arab fragrance. Its gastronomy, handcrafts and urbanism are determined by its glorious historical past. Fountains, viewpoints and Carmens, houses surrounded by gardens featuring the city, they all contribute to create unforgettable corners.

It's not a coincidence that one of its old towns, Albacin, is Human Heritage along with La Alhambra and el Generalife. Being for centuries an important cultural hub, both during Muslim and Christian government, it enjoys today an enviable cultural and leisure agenda. Cycles and cinema, music and theatre festivals are complemented with ongoing expos and travelling covering all imagined fields.

Old renaissance palaces house seminars, conferences and symposiums, while the most innovating infrastructures are ready for big events. The best way to discoverGranada is to hire discount car hire in Granada and tour around the city and surroundings in the comfort of cheap Granada car hire vehicle.
