The Ribera del río Genil in Granada is a beautiful place for walking and relaxation. The route runs along the banks of the river Genil, from the Puente Verde in Granada to the Presa de Canales in Pinos Genil. It offers an atmospheric setting with forests of galleries and an abundance of natural beauty, especially in autumn with the colourful leaves.

Elvira Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

The Puerta de Elvira has undergone different transformations throughout its history, the most important being the one carried out in the reign of Yusuf I of the Nasrid dynasty. At this time it was formed as an autonomous fortress with four towers. Due to its importance and dimensions, it was the main gate of the city, due to its functions as main post and customs control. A Muslim cemetery extended from Puerta de Elvira, in the area where Campo del Triunfo is today.
