Armilla

Travel Guide

Armilla is a lively town offering fine cuisine just a short distance from Granada and a stone's throw from the Sierra de Huétor natural park.

Armilla is one of the most important towns in Granada province, although some consider it to be a suburb, as its northern limits merge into the south of the city. A holiday in Armilla is a good opportunity to discover some of Granada's places of interest, such as the Science Park, a large educational complex that houses a planetarium and a butterfly garden.

Armilla was an important land of culture and passage within the Kingdom of Granada. Today it is a residential area with many attractions that enjoys around 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. This makes it an ideal spot in which to spend a great time combining relaxation and cultural tourism.

Undoubtedly, what attracts most visitors to the town is the programme of fiestas held throughout the year: from the bonfires and fine food celebrating the feast day of Saint Anthony the Great to the floral decorations of Las Cruces de Mayo and the celebrations in honour of the town's patron, Saint Michael the Archangel. If you are thinking of booking a getaway to Armilla, do not hesitate to check out the town hall website for the dates of these festivities.

The Garcia de Viedma House, a fully-restored eighteenth-century manor house, is a fine example of a typical Andalusian home. This elegant residence also houses the ethnographic museum, the cultural centre and the local library. It is also a place of learning, hosting exhibitions that focus on architecture and farming objects.

Armilla holiday packages mean you can save money and time by booking the flight and the hotel together. The town is only 10.5 miles west of Granada airport, a very convenient location, and has three stations in the Granada metro network. If you prefer, you can include a rental car in the package, allowing you to travel around the region more comfortably.

"This was a great hotel for a short stay. The pool is smaller than we hoped but worked well with an upstairs bar and dinner. The views from the rooftop were fantastic! We can’t say enough about the amazing staff! If you get the chance, Juan Carlos on the rooftop is the absolute best!"
