The Fiesta Mayor of Granada - June 2011


There are any number of reasons to go to Granada: Because its picturesque location nestled against the Sierra Nevada provides the perfect panorama for one of Spain's most magnificent buildings - the Alhambra. Because it's old world feel is still alive and well in the winding streets of the Albaicin and the old silk market. Because going for tapas in Granada is a cultural experience on par with any other.

So just for fun, let me add another reason to visit between June 20 to 26th. It is the Corpus Festival, Granada's fiesta mayor, and the city will be electric with the energy and movement of the goings-on. Starting on Monday June 20th at midnight with the Alumbrado (the turning on of the thousands of lights of the fairgrounds) and continuing until the final fireworks display on Sunday, enjoy the shows, competitions and expositions throughout the city.
