ELOPE IN GRANADA

Granada is the capital city in Andalusia, south of Spain, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is famous for its ancient Moorish architecture - in particular, Albaicin - a neighborhood of whitewashed houses, mazes of narrow streets and alleys, and hidden inner gardens and courtyards. 

To the north, is the neighborhood of Sacromonte Hill. Famous for its cave dwellings, gypsy communities, and Flamenco musicians.  and dancers have grown up in this passionate and earthly neighborhood. There is an earthiness and simplistic passion for Granada. Wander the streets, take in the scents, and absorb the beauty of the monuments and buildings that provide its rich history and culture.

In Granada, you’ll find several spots that are perfect for your intimate elopement ceremony. We will recommend the one that best suits the needs and preferences of your elopement day - based on the season, weather conditions, and time of day. The photoshoot will usually take place within the historical center and inside of Alhambra.

It’s important to note that if you’re getting married on public land, there won't be permits to apply for and pay for. However, if you choose a private location, there will be a rental fee to be paid which is not included in our package, and you need to book in advance to access the Alhambra.

Granada is 680 meters above sea level, tucked within the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, so its climate is slightly cooler than the rest of southern Spain. Expect snowy winters and dry hot summers.

The best season to elope in Granada begins in March and lasts through to November. Bear in mind, that if you are sensitive to heat, then it’s best to avoid July and August to celebrate your elopement in Granada.

Your elopement planner will customize your schedule based on your location, season, and time of day. Typically, ceremonies last around 20 minutes, followed by photography sessions before, during, and after the ceremony. Allow a minimum of four hours for the entire experience, with the flexibility to keep the entire day available for unexpected changes.

The best outdoor lighting tends to be around sunrise and sunset, so we usually recommend that the elopement ceremony is held close to that time.

Getting around in Granada is beautifully simple, with easy air, rail, and bus links. Flights from major European airports and Spanish cities land in Granada every day.

And once you have arrived, it’s easiest to get around the historic center by foot.
