Create your Granada map poster

Granada sits in the Vega de Granada comarca and had 233,532 residents in 2024. Although the city is at the base of the Sierra Nevada, the Mediterranean coast is about an hour away by car.

Four river corridors divide Granada's streets at the foot of the mountains. The older center uses irregular blocks, while the waterways cut long channels through later neighborhoods.

Within two kilometres of Granada's center, sections of the Darro and Genil cross the street network. The irregular historic core remains visible beside the straighter river corridors.

Draw the Darro and Genil in a cool gray distinct from the dense street blocks. Muted earth tones can carry the rising ground toward the Sierra Nevada.
