Property for Sale in Granada and surrounding villages north and west
The city of Granada is the capital of the province of the same name. It is situated in the eastern region of Andalucia on the edge of the fertile Genil plain and at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is highly prized as it has a magnificent and rich Islamic history and has great Moorish appeal. This is to be seen throughout the city with its many splendid historial monuments, the most famous of which is the Alhambra Palace and Generalife towering above the city. There are numerous parks and gardens to enjoy a stroll along the tall palm tree-lined avenues.
The old district in the Albaicin and Alhambra are filled with narrow streets and beautiful tiny squares where one can enjoy eating out at the pretty restaurants. The new part of the city is a wonderful place to do your shoppingand have coffee in the many squares around the Cathedral. In this area is the old Moorish silk market which is an abundance of colour and where local craftsmen display ceramics, leather goods, wrought iron and inlaid woods.
Granada has everything to offer the resident and tourist alike by way of historial monuments and modern-day shopping and within minutes you can be in the open countryside and visiting, either by road or train the many wonderful attractions that Andalucia has in abundance.
