The Workers' Day demonstration in Granada, organized by trade unions, will cause significant traffic cuts and public transport diversions in the city center starting at 12:00 PM.

As every year, on May 1, 2026, Granada is preparing for the Workers' Day demonstration, an event that will bring together various trade unions to demand improvements in working conditions, decent wages, and access to housing. The march, scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM, will pass through the heart of the capital, significantly impacting mobility.
The demonstration route will start at the Jardines del Triunfo, then proceed along Gran Vía de Colón and Plaza Isabel la Católica. This will entail the closure of key streets such as Reyes Católicos, from Puerta Real, to vehicular traffic. Normal traffic flow is expected to resume around 2:00 PM, once the mobilization has concluded.
The Unión General de Trabajadores de Granada (UGT) and Comisiones Obreras de Granada (CCOO) are the organizations behind this call, which this year is held under the slogan 'Rights, not Trenches. Wages, Housing and Democracy'. The protest comes just days after the Congress rejected the Royal Decree that protected the extension of rental agreements.
Public transport diversions will be considerable. If the closure affects Gran Vía, Reyes Católicos, Puerta Real, and Recogidas, lines 4, 8, 9, 11, 21, and 33 will not be able to access Acera del Darro. Instead, they will be diverted via Camino de Ronda to Méndez Núñez, continuing along Fuente Nueva and Severo Ochoa to resume their original route on Avenida de la Constitución.
In the event that only Gran Vía and Reyes Católicos are closed, allowing passage through Acera del Darro, Puerta Real, and Recogidas, public transport traveling from South to North will be diverted at Puerta Real towards Recogidas, descending to Camino de Ronda. In the opposite direction, from North to South, the same route will be taken, entering Recogidas from Camino de Ronda to return to Acera del Darro.
Microbuses for Albaicín, Sacromonte, Realejo, and Alhambra will also modify their routes. If the closure is limited to the Gran Vía - Reyes Católicos axis, lines C31, C32, and C34 will use Calle Elvira. If adjacent streets, such as Elvira or Carrera del Darro, are also closed, lines C31 and C34 will terminate at Avenida del Hospicio, ascending to Albaicín and Sacromonte via Carretera de Murcia.
