The perfect mix: cosmopolitan hub and old-world wonder

Today Granada offers tourists the chance to explore its rich culture with all the modern comforts they could require, and provides a great base for travelling around Andalusia. A holiday to Granada means excitement and the chance to chill out.
Discover Granada
Overlooking this beautiful city is the fairytale fortress of Alhambra. This massive structure houses interconnecting palaces and gardens, and dates back to the 4th century. You’ll find plenty to wow you in Generalife Palace, with amazing gardens and gorgeous fountains. Further up the mountain slope stands the Sierra Nevada mountain range, while down below you’re treated to an amazing view of the Granada plain. There’s plenty for your scrapbook here on a holiday in Granada.
The Arab baths – or Hamman – are a great way to unwind and feel cleansed during your holiday. Granada has a long history of this Middle Eastern treat, so Granadans really know their stuff. Book in advance and spend a couple of hours being pampered in these steamed-filled wash houses. The hotels also offer brilliant spa facilities, so if you want something a little less rustic you can find it here too.
Shopping on Granada holidays is great. Whether you want to delve into the old-fashioned bazaars or hit the high street for some all-modern bargains, you’ll find it’s an easy fix in Granada city. Another top way to get to the heart of the city is to attend one of the annual festivals. The music festival usually takes place at the end of June and offers the chance to take part in traditional dance and music workshops, so it’s easy to get right where the action is.
Thanks to a thriving student community – international and Spanish – you’ll find the nightlife has a superb, vibrant feel to it on your Granada holidays. Cheap drinks and plenty of bars to choose from make it the perfect place to party. Or for a more easygoing night you can hit the late night café scene.
