About the Item

This original antique map depicts the province of Granada, part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain, as of 1902. The map features several important details: It shows the diverse terrain of Granada, including the Sierra Nevada, which contains the highest point of continental Spain, Mulhacén. The blue lines mark the rivers, likely including the Genil and Darro rivers, among others that flow through the province. The red lines illustrate the roads and railway lines that connect the various towns and cities within Granada, and with the surrounding regions. Symbols mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with the capital city, also named Granada, indicated on the map. Dotted lines might represent the boundaries within the province and its municipalities. A legend (Signos Convencionales) explains the symbols used on the map for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other features. The coat of arms of Granada is prominently displayed, reflecting the historical significance of the region with symbols like the pomegranate (granada in Spanish), from which the city and province derive their name. About the province of Granada: Granada is renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, most notably the Alhambra, a majestic Moorish citadel and palace, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province is characterized by its varied landscapes, from the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the fertile plains and the tropical coast, known as the Costa Tropical. Granada's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, with a significant emphasis on olive oil, almonds, and wine production. The province is also a hub for tourism, attracting visitors to its historical sites, ski resorts, and beaches. The University of Granada, one of the oldest and most significant universities in Spain, contributes to the city's vibrant cultural and social scene. The province's gastronomy reflects a blend of Moorish, Christian, and Jewish influences, with dishes like gazpacho, jamón de Trevélez, and piononos being local specialties.
