Granada continues to promote its historic legacy as a tourist destination. In late July 2026, travel guides highlighted the Alhambra, Sacromonte Abbey and the Albayzín district, noting high‑speed train connections from Barcelona and accommodations such as Hotel Melià Granada.

Within days, city officials announced a new cultural project: a water‑heritage exhibition called “Granada: Milagro del Agua” at the Alhambra‑Generalife complex. The initiative, backed by the regional Culture Minister and the mayor, involves water utilities and will be displayed in the Biometrópolis building while it undergoes refurbishment. The exhibit underscores the historic acequias and hydraulic systems that shaped the Nasrid monuments and supports Granada’s bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2031.
