GRANADA
Granada is the capital of the province with the same name and is situated in the eastern part of the region of Andalusia. The city of Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains at the confluence of the Darro and Genil rivers. As the last Moorish capital on the Iberian peninsula it holds great symbolic value.

The magical red fortress of the Alhambra, and the labyrinthine streets of the Albaicin, make Granada, and Spain’s, Moorish heritage a tangible part of its present. Granada is a cosmopolitan city whose thriving student and international population still retains the essence of Andalusia’s traditional friendliness and passion for life.

MADRID
Madrid is Europe’s highest lying capital (alt 646m/2,120 ft) and stands in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama in the middle of the Meseta, right in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. It is a very hospitable city, known for the quality of its light, with a dry continental climate that is very hot in summer and cold, yet sunny, in winter.

It became the capital in the 16C at a time when Spain ruled over a vast empire. The city’s main monuments, Classical and Baroque in style, were built during the 17,18 and 19C.

Madrid has a furious pace – it is the capital of contemporary Spanish cultural life. It is Spain’s leading city as far as banks, insurance companies, universities, administrative bodies and political institutions are concerned.
