Low and interesting land value
The province of Granada is in the south of the country, south of Andalusia where the Mediterranean Sea bathes its shores. It has an area that exceeds 1,200,000 hectares, that is, more than 14% of the autonomous community. Its contrasting geographical relief and its high altitude in average values, cause the Granada climate to present short and arid summers, as well as low-temperature winters. The basis of its economy is the service sector, especially tourism, thanks to the historical and cultural value of the city of Granada. However, agriculture also has a great weight in the province, highlighting irrigated cultivation.
Granada has one of the cheapest average land values in the entire autonomous community. This is especially because it is the province with the highest altitude index. Therefore, it has greater difficulties in giving use to its territory, especially the rustic land used for agricultural exploitation.
Nature of great contrasts
It is a land of great contrasts. The most outstanding geographical aspects of the Granada landscape are the Subbéticas mountains, to the north and inland; and to the south, the Penibetic system with the high peaks of Sierra Nevada, which gives way to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The relief of the province is not the most favourable for agriculture, due to the high altitude and steep slopes. In addition, the weather does not help either since little rainfall is recorded throughout the year. For this reason, irrigated cultivation is of great importance in the province.
The rustic land destined for agriculture occupies more than 45% of the total of the province, which represents an area that exceeds 530,000 hectares. In Granada, the cultivation of cereals, olive groves, fruit trees and vegetables respectively predominate. Livestock, with greater prominence in mountain areas, has less relevance to agriculture. In general terms, sheep and goats stand out.
The forest land covers an area that exceeds 280,000 hectares, divided into timber forest, woody forest, and open forest. For their part, the meadows and pastures add up to more than 100,000 hectares in a territory with great wealth and diversity of natural resources.
Several municipalities with a large area
It has a population density lower than the Spanish average. The capital, Granada, concentrates the highest percentage of the population. And is that, it has the largest surface of the Granada territory. The municipalities of Motril, Almuñécar, Guadix and Baza are also large, with populations of over 20,000 inhabitants.
In the province, the urban plots add up to more than 20,000 hectares, while the developable land occupies more than 15,000 hectares. The plots for residential use, concentrated in the city of Granada, cover more than 3,000 hectares.
An industry that seeks to achieve greater weight in the region
The industrial land that exceeds 3,000 hectares is distributed by more than 45 industrial estates. The most important sectors are food, metallurgy, and energy supply. Transport has also grown in recent years, in an industry that has suffered a slowdown in its development and dynamism. The objective is to create an industrial fabric that is consolidated in the region.
As in other provinces, tourism is the basis of Granada's economy. The historical and cultural value of Nasrid city is the main attraction for millions of tourists a year, both national and international.
Granada, a unique place in Spain
Granada is a province very conditioned by its geographical relief, which also has its degree of relevance to the economy. Well, it directly affects the agricultural exploitation of the province that, even so, stands as one of the economic mainstays, especially thanks to irrigated cultivation. It is a unique place in Spain, for its history, culture, and nature. In addition, having one of the lowest land values in Andalusia is a very favourable point, for a territory that has the objective of consolidating its secondary sector, where the food industry is the most important.
