Granada is bekend als één van de beste woonplaatsen voor een student. Één van de belangrijkste universiteiten van Zuid spanje is in Granada gevestigd en dit betekent dat er ongelofelijk veel studenten zijn die willen feesten en alles wat daar maar mee te maken heeft.
U kunt het lente-feest niet missen; ´La Fiesta de las cruces´ die in april-mei wordt gehouden en waar duizenden en duizenden studenten elkaar ontmoeten voor feesten in de straten en bekende openluchtconcerten.
Bovendien is Granada ook de beste keuze wat betreft culturele uitstapjes en skiën. |

 De provincie Granada bezit een ongelofelijke hoeveelheid en verscheidenheid aan touristische attracties in slechts 13.000 vierkante kilometer: De Alhambra, het meeste bezochte monument in Spanje en één van de mooiste in de wereld; Één van Europa´s beste ski-resorts in de Sierra Nevada; En slechts anderhalf uur rijden verwijderd van de sneeuw, vindt u de stranden aan de ´Tropical Coast´, met aangename temperaturen het hele jaar door.
De stad Granada betovert bezoekers met zijn historie en monumenten. De culturele kalender is van topniveau, er is een grote diversiteit festivals en tradities. Er wordt een levendige sfeer gecreëerd door de meer dan 60.000 studenten aan de universiteit van Granada.
Voor natuurliefhebbers bezit de provincie vijf natuurparken en een nationaal park. U kunt genieten van stilte en rust in de kleine  plaatsjes in de ´Alpujarras´, een bijna onaangetast gebied dat bezoekers verleidt om er voor altijd te blijven. Inlandse gebieden, zoals de ´Marquesado´ en de ´Altiplano´, tonen een ongelofelijk contrast tussen de bijna woestijnachtige landschappen en de groene vegetatie van de omliggende heuvels. ´Granada Poniente´, in het westen van de provincie, bezit een enorm erfgoed van de islam.
