Weather conditions in Granada show significant variations, especially between day and night, where temperature differences can exceed 20 degrees Celsius. This particularity is largely due to the proximity of Sierra Nevada, which modulates the environment. Furthermore, the Darro River contributes to higher humidity, moderating extreme temperatures during the most rigorous months.
