Motril for Granada, Spain

The port of Motril is the closest port to the ancient Moorish city of Granada, less than one hours drive up into the Sierra Nevada mountains. In Granada, the Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is the most famous building of the Andalusian Islamic historical legacy. Granada was the last Moorish city to surrender to the Christians during the "Reconquista" in 1492.

The town of Motril is about two miles inland from the port. The beach of Playa Granada is a short walk from the dock to the fishing port.
