Granada is undoubtedly one of the most popular provinces that attracts the most interest both nationally and internationally.
In Granada capital, we can find true heritage jewels of internationally recognised fame. From the Alhambra to the Cathedral, passing through the Royal Room of Santo Domingo, the Royal Hospital, the Royal Chapel or the Arab Baths of "El Bañuelo". All of this, along with other equally recognised spots that host thousands of visitors annually, such as the Abbey of Sacromonte, the Carmen de los Mártires, the Casa de los Tiros, the Monastery of the Cartuja or the Monastery of San Jerónimo. We cannot forget the historic district of the Albayzín, consisting of iconic streets and squares that will transport us to another era. In turn, the Science Park, an interactive museum entity with various permanent and temporary exhibitions, is also worthy of mention. These exhibitions can reveal how the human body works, how butterflies and birds of prey live, or how science has transformed our world.
Beyond the artistic and cultural, Granada has truly incredible natural spaces. Sierra Nevada is globally known, attracting both skiers and anyone interested in this incredible natural space.
Precisely, within the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, if you are looking to visit a rural area that stands out both in heritage and nature, La Alpujarra is ideal. This historic region located on the southern slope of Sierra Nevada is made up of a peculiar network of towns. Each of them is recognised for their urbanism, which takes us back to the Andalusian era. Recently, the populations of the Barranco de Poqueira have become very popular for tourism. We are talking about Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira, which are receiving more and more visitors. A similar phenomenon occurs with Soportújar, an Alpujarra town where we can find witches, dragons, and other fantastic beings. This fairy-tale setting is due to the town's interest in attracting visitors from all over the world, interested in the area's legends and the history of the town linked to witchcraft.
At the same time, there are a number of places throughout the province where we can find heritage from prehistoric, Roman, or Moorish times. For example, in Salar, there is the Roman Villa of Salar, a Roman site that stands out worldwide. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning towns like Guadix or Montefrío, which have received various awards for their beauty from institutions like National Geographic.
Moreover, Granada has some truly remarkable beaches. We are talking about those in Almuñecar, Motril, Salobreña, Gualchos or Albuñol.
With the Alhambra as its international hallmark, the charm of Granada is founded on its diverse historical past. The Albaicín still retains its Arab soul and splendour; and the essence of flamenco is kept alive in the Sacromonte. In the city centre, there are monuments such as the cathedral and the Royal Chapel, the resting place of the Catholic Monarchs. Granada boasts a gastronomic tradition in which its famous tapas stand out. The celebration of the Corpus Christi festivities is a good time to visit and discover one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

The beauty of Moclín is dominated by its charming Arab castle, a witness to history as a frontier defence between the Kingdom of Granada and the Christian lands of Jaén. It also stands out for its rich nature, on a hill of the Sierra de Moclín, next to the Velillos River.
Alfacar is located in the north-central area of the Vega de Granada, a few kilometres from the city of the Alhambra.
