One of the most interesting cities in Eastern Andalusia lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, between the Darro and Genil rivers. The impressive heritage of Al-Andalus is intertwined with architectural gems of the Renaissance and the most modern buildings typical of the 21st century. Being the last city recovered by the Catholic Kings in 1492, Granada has a unique Arabian atmosphere. Its gastronomy, craftsmanship and urban layout have been shaped by its glorious history. Fountains, balconies, villas, apartments surrounded by gardens, characteristic of this city, create unforgettable nooks. Not in vain, one of its former neighborhoods, el Albaicín, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens. As a significant cultural center throughout the centuries under both Muslim and Christian rule, the city now enjoys an enviable calendar of entertainment and cultural events. Film, music and theater cycles and festivals are complemented by permanent and temporary exhibitions covering all fields of knowledge. Former Renaissance palaces host seminars, conferences and meetings, while the most innovative infrastructures are prepared to host great events.
