Rich in History

After the Roman occupation, the Arabs invaded the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century and gave it its current name of Granada. Arab and Islam influence lasted for 800 years and Granada was the last of the Arab Kingdoms in the Iberian peninsula to fall to the Christians in 1492 under rule by Queen Isabel of Castile and Ferdinad of Aragon.

Granada boasts the greatest cultural attractions, and the most visited historic monuments in Spain, the Alhambra Palace.

Rich in Culture

Even today, you can clearly see the influence of the Arab occupation by observing the architecture and not just in Granada but all over Spain.

when it comes to cuisine, Granada is a centre for Tapas as these are usually served free of charge with your drink.

Flamenco is folk music from the Andalucian Region of which Granada is part. Flamenco has evolved from at least four cultures namely, Gypsies, Arabs, Jews and Indigenous Analucians. A cocktail of cultures, flamenco takes us back thousands of years!
