 Welcome to GRANADA
an extra service of European City Guide / ECG

Information about GRANADA The city's name may have been derived either from the Spanish granada, "pomegranate," a locally abundant fruit that appears on the city's coat of arms, or from its Moorish name, Karnattah (Gharnatah), possibly meaning "hill of strangers." Granada was the site of an Iberian settlement, Elibyrge, in the 5th century BC and of the Roman Illiberis. As the seat of the Moorish kingdom of Granada, it was the final stronghold of the Moors in Spain, falling to the Roman Catholic monarchs Ferdinand II and Isabella I in January 1492. Granada's economy is predominantly agricultural, with cereals as the most widely grown crop, although sugarcane and tobacco are also important. Olive and fruit trees (oranges, lemons, figs, almonds, and pomegranates) and vineyards are also common. The principal industries are agriculture-based and include sugar refining. Granada is one of the pearls of Spain, most visited by tourists from all the world. The long-time capital of Moorish Andalusia has to offer the most important reminds of this epoch in Spanish history, with the world-famous "Alhambra" at the top of the list. Its beautiful gardens, charming narrow streets filled with flowers, invite everyone to sit down in one of those typical taverns to have some of that famous "Trevélez" ham and local wine, and breath the centuries of history around anywhere. There are gypsies singing "Flamenco", and the famous "Cuevas" - caves - in the mountain of the monastery of Sacromonte to visit.
