Serviced Apartments in Granada

Granada is a hugely popular tourist destination in the south of Spain, around a one-hour drive from the south coast. Founded at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the city is still on quite high ground and is built upon three rivers, the Beiro, Darro and Genil. Tourists from Spain, Europe and indeed the rest of the world book holiday apartments in Granada to soak up the history and culture of this fascinating city.

With a city population of around 240,000 people, and just under 475,000 living in the surrounding urban area, Granada is one of the most populous cities in Spain. There is a noticeable South American influence on the town, with a large number of residents from that part of the world. Speaking of outside influence, one of the most famous tourist attractions of the city is the Alhambra, a historic fortress and palatial complex built by the Moors in the 14th century. Just to the east of the city centre, this famous site can be reached on foot from Granada city centre (center) apartments, or by using public transport.

A further popular attraction is the Palacio de Generalife, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, this time built in the early 14th century. The grounds of this impressive palace are adorned with fountains and gardens and buildings in traditional Islamic Nasrid style. Of course, no Spanish city of note goes without an impressive cathedral, and Granada is no different. Not as old as many in the country, the 16th century cathedral is nevertheless impressive, and a fine example of Renaissance work. If you would like to see the majority of the sites in one day, consider booking a day trip with a local tour operator, who will be happy to pick you up at your Granada holiday rental at the start of the day.

Away from the historical monuments and architecture, if you fancy simply lounging around for an afternoon, the city is home to many wonderful parks and gardens; ideal for picnics. The average temperature for the year is just over 15°C, with the best of the weather to be found from June to September. Nonetheless, the majority of short-term and self-catered apartments in Granada are available all year round, and being near the south coast, the weather is pleasant virtually all year.

For an alternative activity, consider watching the city's professional football club play in the Los Cármenes Stadium, along with 22,000 passionate local fans.
