Hertz Car Rental in Granada
You’ll find the city of Granada in the middle of southern Spain. It is close to both the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountains and the sunny Mediterranean coastline. You'll find Western Europe’s highest peak is just 35 miles east, while the beach resort of Motril is 31 miles south. As an important regional centre, Granada stands near the intersection of important north-south and east-west driving routes. If you take up car rental in Granada you’ll see that the A44 runs down the west side of the city helping you avoid the worst of the tourist traffic in the narrower streets of the city centre itself.
Granada was a major Arabic centre for hundreds of years, so it has an impressive legacy of Moorish architecture. The highlight is the Alhambra, a world-renowned hilltop palace and fortress, which is one of Spain’s most-visited attractions. This World Heritage site includes lush gardens, courtyards, water features and ornate carvings. If you have a rental car in Granada you’ll be able to reach the Alhambra and tour the rest of the city too. You’ll find plenty of other historic buildings, including the Arab Albayzin quarter and the 16th-century cathedral with a highly decorated Royal Chapel alongside. Look out too for two monasteries to visit: baroque Cartuja and renaissance Charterhouse.
