Granada in Southern Spain is the jewel in Andalucia's crown. Set on a plain under the eternal gaze of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain range, it is a very special place in which to buy Spanish property. The narrow streets and whitewashed buildings, some dating back several centuries, seem to bless the city with a magical aura, while the Alhambra - Granada's main attraction - adds further to this enchanting ambience.
Widely recognised as one of the wonders of the world, the Alhambra is a breathtaking series of palaces built in the 14th century by the Nazari Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of tourists descend on Granada each year to visit the Alhambra, which includes the 'Generalife', and to visit to the city itself.
Outside the city of Granada is a vast array of attractions. The skiing resort of the Sierra Nevada is only 25-minutes away from the city centre, and the beaches of the Costa del Sol are only 55-minutes away.
The city centre and Sacromonte areas of Granada are popular locations in which to own Spanish property, either as a permanent residence or holiday home. Further afield, Moclin, Beznar and Albunuelas all offer good quality Granada property that is close to the city and within easy reach of the coastline.
For investors who are looking for income property (apartments, town houses or a villa in Spain), Granada property represents a good opportunity, as there is a steady flow of visitors to the region throughout the year.
