In Granada, history is evident everywhere. This ancient Andalusian city has an enviable cultural heritage reflected in its musical tradition, eclectic and rich cuisine, and unique monuments to visit from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Granada, such as the imposing Alhambra.

One of the city's main attractions is La Alhambra, the World Heritage fortress-palace, among Spain's most visited monuments. Its origin dates back to the 9th century in a prime location, with views of the valley and the neighborhoods of Albaicín and Alcazaba. The Generalife gardens surrounding the complex are another of the treasures that any traveler would want to get lost in. 

But Granada offers much more: itineraries and venues full of the richness of the past and the open and hospitable character of the present. As is the case with Albaicín, an ancient Moorish settlement of tiny houses, craft stores, and cafés overlooking the Red Fortress, just a stone's throw from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Granada. The central Cathedral is another must-see, with its exciting mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles.

For nature and mountain sports lovers, another must-see in the area is the Sierra Nevada, a national park just 19 miles away that offers hiking and biking trails and the country's largest expanse of ski slopes. 

The best location to complete the cultural getaway with outdoor sports is at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Granada, which allows guests to explore this natural paradise while getting to know the cuisine, culture and character of a city that has it all. 

There are many ways to enjoy Granada, a destination capable of captivating all travelers, especially if you experience it from our hotels in Granada.
