Granada Province
A province in eastern Andalusia where the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada share the stage, combining Moorish heritage with skiing and coast.
Granada Province lies in the east of Spain's Andalusia region, with high plateaus in the north, the Sierra Nevada, the highest range on the Iberian mainland, rising in the centre, and a subtropical Mediterranean coast in the south. The capital, Granada, is known for the Alhambra, the Generalife gardens and the Albaicín old quarter, and is an important legacy of Moorish culture in Spain. In winter you can ski in the Sierra Nevada, and the white villages of the Alpujarras are good for hiking. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, and the inland areas are hot in midsummer. The gateways are Granada Airport and the high-speed rail and road links to Madrid and Málaga.
