STATUE OF COLUMBUS AND ISABELLA

In the heart of the city center, just at the end of the Gran Via, this statue of Columbus meeting with Isabella is a fixture in Granada. On two sides there are bass-reliefs depicting the battle of Velez Malaga and the meeting of Columbus with the Catholic Kings. The other sides commemorate two important dates: the surrender of Granada and the discovery of America, both in the year 1492.

Welcome to Explore Granada, a new project of mine. You may or may not be familiar with Explore Seville, my guide to the city a few hours west of Granada. Living in Andalucia has been wonderful, and from my trips back and forth to Seville and Granada, plus several towns in between, I hope to be able to offer some information from the point of view of the traveler.

As I begin this site I realize it is not and never will be the final source for information for the city of Granada. I enjoy a challenge and loved creating Explore Seville, so I decided why not spend some time in Granada and get to know the city while writing about it. I will happily point to other resources as I build the information for this site, and will always find a way to include other sites which cover topics more thoroughly than I. For now, this is what I would call a concise guide to the city, with the basic information you need to get around to the sights, shops, bars and restaurants. Also included are some recommended hotels and hostals in Granada. I make a small percentage from these, but I also have selected them from my and family members recommendations - people who have actually stayed in the establishments. Look for the listings where you will see what I recommend.

Below you will find some links to some of the featured sections of the site. If you have any questions you can always reach me via email, or find out what is going on in Seville at Exploreseville.com!
