Granada is a Spanish city in Andalusia as well as the capital of the province of Granada. The city has 236,982 inhabitants, making it the fourth largest city of Andalusia (after Seville, Málaga and Córdoba). It lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at a height of 738 metres. With an annual visitor count of over 3 million, it comes as no surprise that the city is featured in the top 10 most visited Spanish cities. The most famous tourist attraction of Granada Spain is certainly the Alhambra, featured on the UNESCO World Heritage List and good for a full day of sightseeing during your city trip. This historic palace is full of remnants from both the Moorish and Catholic culture. The city has a compact centre that can easily be explored on foot and the palace of the Alhambra is visible from the entire city; with the snowy mountain tops of the Sierra Nevada in the background.
