Getting to Know Granada


Cloisters of the Monasterio de San Jeronimo


Granada is a colourful and vibrant city, rich in cultural heritage and steeped in history.  It lies between two rivers, with the splendid backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains visible from many different parts of the city.  On a clear day in January or February, you can marvel at the snow-capped mountains poking out from behind many of Granada's magnificent buildings.  The weather is also fantastic providing glorious sunshine most of the year and giving Granada a real outdoor vibe. 

To understand the layout of Granada, it is best to see it as four separate barrios (districts).  You can read about each of these on this blog by clicking below
