Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. The city of Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of three rivers, Beiro, Darro and Genil, at an elevation of 738 metres above sea level yet only one hour from the Mediterrean coast, the Costa Tropical. At the 2005 census, the population of the city of Granada proper was 236,982, and the population of the entire urban area was estimated to be 472,638, ranking as the 13th-largest urban area of Spain. About 3.3% of the population did not hold Spanish citizenship, the largest number of these (31%) coming from South America. Its nearest airport is FGL Airport. The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is one of the most famous items of the Islamic historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot among cultural and tourist cities in Spain. The Almohad urbanism with some fine examples of Moorish and Morisco constructions is preserved at the part of the city called the Albaicín. Granada is also well-known within Spain due to the prestigious University of Granada and, nowadays, vibrant night-life. In fact, it is said that it is one of the three best cities for college students (the other two are Salamanca and Santiago de Compostela).[citation needed]

11. Granada: Richly Varied
April 06, 2009
The quaint city at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada reflects a rich amalgam of various cultures- Greek, Moorish, and Castilian. Tourists traveling into the city are usually struck by the dizzying spread of Andalusian monuments, pubs, and scenic diversity.
The closest airport is about 12 kilometers away; a bus or a taxi will take you directly into the city. We do not recommend trains as it might take hours for a change to occur at Boadilla wasting precious time thereby.

On the A92 between Granada and Almeria you'll come across Guadix, which is famous for the Jarra Accittanas.

You can find 'La Barriada de Las Cuevas' in the north of the town, and as you're walking around you half expect to see Barney Rubble leaving one of the small front doors, ready for a hard day at the quarry.
