Granada is the European City most recently occupied by the Moslem inhabitants of Spain. It has a spectacular architectural legacy from that 14C period and many earlier remains. The 16C Brought new rulers and culture that give the city it's renaissance heritage.

The Sierra Nevada looms over Granada and its south face forms La Alpujarra. A spectacular region of deep gorges and high hills, well watered by the melting snows above and scattered with villages. The terrain is mountainous but the walking is strenuous rather than difficult and we provide shorter as well as longer walks.

In both locations we offer a choice of accommodation, Hotel or Pension. Both choices are good value for money, in convenient locations and are tried and tested.

The city accommodation is central and within 15 minutes walk of the Alhambra and the modern city.

Practical information on how to visit Granada City is provided to enable you to quickly get your bearings. Detailed descriptions and maps of 3 city walks take you through the mediaeval, historic and modern parts of the city centre where café and street life can be sampled.
