LIVE MUSIC IN SPAIN

GRANADA SOUND GRANADA

Together with DCODE in Madrid, Granada Sound puts the finishing touch to the summer festival season. And what a finish! With two days of fan- tastic music with top Spanish pop-rock bands and a couple of international stars which every year attract a bigger crowd to the specially prepared enclo- sure in the Paseo Cortijo del Conde on the outskirts of the city. The shuttle buses arranged by the organisers guar- antee an ongoing connection with the city centre. To really experience Granada Sound in its broadest context, you should also book for the previous week to en- joy the City of Rock initiative, when Granada simply lives and breathes mu- sic. In numerous bars and taverns you can accompany your drinks and tapas with live shows, showcases and perfor- mances by up-and-coming bands.

You could also spend these days explor- ing incredible places like the Alhambra , a citadel, fortress and place of resi- dence for Nasrid sultans and declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Take a stroll through the gardens of the Generalife while you listen to the water bubbling in fountains and pools, admire the extraordinary décor in the different patios and rooms and marvel at the sublime beauty. Or you could visit the Albaicín neigh- bourhood, stroll through the narrow streets and enjoy the amazing views from the lookout points and the cár- menes (typical multi-level Granada dwellings surrounded by gardens).
