Real Madrid played the opener here in 1995, and a young Raúl scored in the first official match — this 21,600-seat bowl has been Granada CF's home ever since.

Built in 1995 and overhauled after Granada CF's 2019 promotion to La Liga, the ground got new lighting, pitch improvements, and a fan shop. Spain's national team has played nine times in Granada across its two grounds and never lost, most recently beating North Macedonia 4-0 in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.
What to look for

- The fan shop added during the 2019 renovation
Located in the Zaidín suburb south of the city center, directly accessible from the Circunvalación highway.
