Property in Granada

Granada is a province in the eastern part of the autonomous community of Andalucia, in southern Spain. The province has something for everyone: urban living offered by its impressive capital city (also called Granada), world-class skiing on the Sierra Nevada and the beautiful beaches of the Costa Tropical, both just a 30 min drive away.

One of Andalucia's best-loved cities, the famous old Moorish capital of Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada between two outlying hills, which fall sharply down to the fertile Río Genil valley.

Take a walk around the Albaicin district, with its steep and winding narrow passageways, cobbled streets and old buildings with courtyards. Enjoy the aroma of spices pervading the air and savour food from eateries inspired by North Africa.

At the top of the district is a lookout providing what is thought to be the most breathtaking view of the ‘world’s most beautiful building’, the famous palace of Alhambra.

Head south east of Granada to the snow-capped peaks of the dazzling Sierra Nevada mountain range, a haven for hikers and skiers. The high peaks make skiing possible in winter, in a region well known for its warm temperatures.

Popular property areas tend to be places like Montefrio and Ventorros de San Jose. Two-bed apartments cost in the region of €140,000 and a three+ bed villa will set you back around €250,000.

Flights from the UK to its capital city (also called Granada) take about two hours 30 minutes.
