Driving in and around Granada

Granada is a relatively small city with a stunning surrounding province featuring coastal wonders, towering mountains and scenic valleys to explore – making it a fabulous location to rent a car.

For days where you will be discovering the local attractions in Granada itself, find a parking space for your rental car and investigate on foot. There are some free bays, but also plenty of paid parking – with some offering spaces from just one euro per hour.

It's helpful to be aware of the special lanes in the city before driving your rental car in Granada. Do not use the lanes marked 'taxi bus solo' as these are for buses and taxis only. There are also certain streets that are reserved exclusively for these vehicles and residents only, so keep an eye out for these. 

The wider province is a joy to navigate – with wide, sweeping routes that lead you through gorgeous countryside. If you've dreamt of seeing the Sierra Nevada up close, you have the option of navigating the winding mountain roads. These routes are incredibly well maintained and driving here is a breath-taking experience not to be missed.

Alternatively, if you're looking for a serene day at the beach, you're perfectly placed. Drive for around an hour south via the A-7 and A-44 and you'll discover Castell de Ferro. Head to La Rijana beach, which is a small bay offering crystal clear waters – providing the perfect opportunity to grab a snorkel and reveal the wonders of the Alboran sea.

This destination offers something for every type of vacation, from history-seeking and city-breaks to those in search of adventure among snowy peaks by day, with stargazing by night.

Those craving relaxation by the coast will also have their needs catered to with a trip to this magical part of southern Spain. Rent a car in Granada to see it all.

Discover Moorish history

The fortress, castle and enclosed town of Alhambra is Granada's famed star of the show. The iconic location was rebuilt during the 1200s and 1300s by Moorish ruler Muhammad Ibn Al-Ahmar, but has origins dating back to the 9th century. Placed atop the Darro Valley, this is a highly recommended destination on any visit to Granada.

Spend a day wandering the tranquil courtyards and palaces and, if you time it well, contemplate the gorgeous sunset.

Wonder at Generalife

This summer palace is incredible enough to spend time exploring separately. It's here that Moorish Emirs would spend long, scorching summers retreating in the shade.

Encircled by lush, flourishing gardens featuring a kaleidoscope of colours, this is an incredible place to while away the hours on your vacation. If you're looking for a true slice of serenity, stroll along the narrow paths and admire the beautiful flower beds, pillars and ponds.

Immerse yourself in vibrant Sacromonte

Located in the east of Granada, this traditional neighbourhood became home to the city's Roma community once the region was retaken by the Catholic Monarchs from the Moors.

The awe-inspiring quarter is renowned for the cave homes which have been carved from the rock-face. All of these are unique, making a stroll through the neighbourhood a fascinating experience. Take your time in the area, admiring these architectural wonders.

Cultural delights can also be enjoyed in Sacromonte too. If you're looking for a true flamenco or fiesta experience, this is the corner of the city to visit for an authentic performance.

Adventure through the Sierra Nevada

South of the city, in the wider Granadian province, you'll discover the world-famous Sierra Nevada National Park – featuring the highest point of continental Spain.

Depending on your interests, there's so much to do here – and if you love an adventure in nature this is not to be missed. There are leisure centres and swimming pools which are perfect for families.

Not only that, but you'll have the option to choose from a range of hiking trails – and if you visit during the winter season you can ski at a number of resorts. For early birds and night owls, this is also the most wonderful place to stargaze, and watch the sunrise and sunset over the majestic peaks.

Soak up coastal Granada

Also known as the Costa Tropical, the coastline of Granada province boasts a warm climate and picturesque views.

Beautiful beaches with a mixture of dark, pebbled and white sand are lapped by turquoise waters along the whole coast. If you're searching for somewhere to relax on your trip to Granada, head to Salobreña, Almuñecar or Castell de Ferro for the perfect beach day – all of which can be reached in an hour by car.
