Group Trips & Excursions to Granada

Granada is located in the centre of the Vega de Granada region, at an altitude of 680 metres, in a wide intrabetic depression formed by the river Genil and the Sierra Nevada, which determines its climate.

It was the capital of the Zirid Kingdom of Granada during the 11th century and of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada between the 13th and 15th centuries. After the capture of the city by the Catholic Monarchs, it remained the capital of the Castilian Kingdom of Granada, which remained in force until 1833, when a new provincial division took place in Spain and is still in force today. Its municipal coat of arms bears the titles 'Very noble, very loyal, named, great, celebrated and heroic city of Granada'.

Granada is one of the most visited cities, due to its monuments and its professional ski resort, as well as the historical area known as La Alpujarra and also the 'Costa Tropical' part of the coast of Granada.
