Granada, Spain is a city that is known for its beauty. Granada is the capital of the Granada province. This province is in the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. Located over 700 meters above sea level, Granada is nestled in the apex of the rivers Genil and Darro, not far from the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

It is believed that the first inhabitants of Granada pre-date written history. The first recorded settlers of Granada were the Ibero-Celts. They had alhambra viewcommunication with many ancient groups, including the Greeks, who had established their own settlement in Granada by the year 5 BCE (Before Common Era).

Since so many ancient settlers made the city and region their home, Granada has a rich multi-cultural history as well as stunning relics, which can be seen in one of the many museums or in the ancient palaces and monuments that still grace the streets of Granada so many years later.
