About Granada

Granada is one of the most historic cities in Spain. It offers the chance to experience a rare mix of stunning architecture, great beaches, and access to some of the most picturesque areas of Spain in the form of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Andalucía.

The most famous building in Granada is the Alhambra, which was built as a massive harem and mosque complex during the period when Granada was in the hands of the Moors of Africa and was ruled as a Muslim emirate. This period is very important in the history of Granada and the surrounding region, and you will find many Arabic influences in the buildings and names of towns.

No visit to Granada is complete without taking a full tour of the Alhambra, but there are plenty of other sites to see in the city too. The cathedral is a beautiful building in the centre of tow, while the palace of Charles V of Spain has a stunning collection of art.

If you book car hire in Granada, you will have access to a much wider region in Andalucía and give your self the freedom to explore. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are truly breathtaking. During the summer the air is cool and clear and the views out over the rest of the country are phenomenal. In the hills there are a number of white villages that have very traditional architecture and are home to the local leather industry that Andalucía is famous for. Sacromonte, a distant suburb of Granada which is famous for the gipsy chapel is particularly noted for the quality of leather work on offer in the markets.

If you are prepared to drive your car a little further, then taking a trip to the coast will take about an hour from Granada itself, and you can visit numerous resorts on the coast including Marbella to the East, or alternatively, drive slightly west along the Costa Del Sol to the British Outpost of Gibraltar, which is a great place for tax free shopping if you want to pick up some bargains.
