Granada (Spain).
ENGLISH
Granada - Arabic: غرناطة – Greek: Ἐλιβύργη (Steph. Byz.) - Elibyrge;
Latin: Illiberis (Ptol. ii. 4. § 11) or Illiberi Liberini (Pliny iii.
1. s. 3); – is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in
the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. It is situated at the foot
of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of two rivers, Darro
and Genil, at an elevation of 738 metres above sea level. At the 2005
census, the population of the city of Granada proper was 236,982, and
the population of the entire urban area was estimated to be 472,638,
ranking as the 13th-largest urban area of the Spanish Kingdom. About
3.3% of the population did not hold Spanish citizenship, the largest
number of these (31%) coming from South America.
The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is one of the most famous items of the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot among cultural and tourist cities in Spain. The Almohad urbanism with some fine examples of Moorish and Morisco constructions is preserved at the part of the city called the Albaicin.
Granada is also well-known within Spain due to the prestigious University of Granada and, nowadays, wild night-life. In fact, it is said that it is one of the three best cities for college students (the other two are Salamanca and Santiago de Compostela).[citation needed]
The pomegranate (in Spanish, granada) is the heraldic device of Granada.

CASTELLANO
Granada es una ciudad española, capital de la provincia homónima, en
Andalucía, y antigua capital del medieval Reino de Granada. Cuenta, a
1 de enero de 2006, con una población de 238.000 habitantes y de
542.638 con su área metropolitana, que sumado a los cerca de 80.000
estudiantes foráneos hace que sobrepase los 620.000 habitantes, siendo
así la octava urbe de España.
Con una altitud media de 666 m sobre el nivel del mar, está situada a los pies de Sierra Nevada, en la confluencia de los ríos Genil, Darro y Beiro, y al borde de una fértil planicie, la Vega de Granada, rodeada por tres macizos montañosos.
Limita con los municipios de Atarfe, Maracena, Pulianas, Jun, Víznar, Huétor Santillán, Beas de Granada, Dúdar, Pinos Genil, Cenes de la Vega, Huétor Vega, La Zubia, Ogíjares, Armilla, Churriana de la Vega, Vegas del Genil y Santa Fe.
Entre sus barrios destacan el Albaicín, Sacromonte, Realejo, Zaidín-Vergeles, La Chana, Almanjáyar y Cartuja.
Recibe los títulos de "Muy noble, muy leal, nombrada, grande, celebérrima y heroica ciudad de Granada", que aparecen en el escudo municipal.
Fueron los ziríes quienes en el siglo XI trasladaron la capital de "Medina Elvira" («Ciudad Elvira») hasta "Medina Garnata", nombre que le fue dado en referencia a la fruta del mismo nombre que abundaba en aquella región.
