Travelling by hire car in Granada

Granada was once a kingdom and possibly the most important in the Moorish empire. From the 8th to the 15th century it has grown into an important centre of commercial activity. Granada was renowned for its strategic location, with regard to trade between Western Europe and islamic countries in the South. When explorers discovered a trade route for gold from Portugal to Africa the necessity for 'peaceful' trade through Granada expired. The catholic Ferdinand II and Isabella seized both the empire and the city. The city became capital of the province and presents a treasure of monuments and references to ancient times. At the same time, the city is packed with students and therefore has a well-established infrastructure. The city centre is sparkling and has numerous cafes, restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. In accordance with Andalusia, tapas are served with alcoholic beverages, although not consistently. Besides culinary delight some of the sights in the city include:

• the Alhambra, possibly the best known Moorish palace. The amount of art-treasures and fine Islamic art is incredible. UNESCO established a quota for visiters to protect the art
• the Cathedral of Granada, one of the largest in the world
• the 'Iglesia de San Antonio' church

Visitors of the city will notice a world that stretches beyond Spain or a regular tourist sight. The city is a blend of different cultures, habits and architecture that constantly amaze. A distinct feature of Granada is the Mudejar style, a combination of Islamic and Western styles. Besides the many cathedrals of Southern Spain, Granada adds the element of historical splendour. It is one of the few cities where history seems tangible. The connection to Africa is quite visible, as well as the recent (im)migration issues. During nightfall, salesmen of which many entered Spain illegally from Nigeria, Senegal and other countries, appear. Spain however, has a very flexible policy towards foreign immigrants. In the vicinity of Granada there is something for anyone. Areas of interest in the surroundings include:
