Festivity of the Patroness of Granada

September brings summer to a close in Granada and the city pays tribute to its patroness, the Virgen de las Angustias. There are two important dates: 15 September and the last Sunday of the month.

This is probably one of the most picturesque and enchanting times to visit Granada. The stalls laden with fruit set up in the city centre, the red and gold leaves of the trees lining the Carrera de la Virgen boulevard, and the warm September afternoons create a delightful ambience that charms the citizens of Granada as much as the visitors.

You'll also discover a gastronomic delight, the unforgettably sweet cakes known as tortas de la Virgen. Want to try one? This recipe shows you how to make it at home!
