Granada is a vibrant city, with a large university population so there is a lot of music to be found from rock and jazz to celtic, reggae, salsa, electro, hip hop, funk and of course flamenco (see the Flamenco guide to Granada). There are way too many bars and clubs to mention but here are some to make a start. Any recommendations will be included if you send to me at my email above.
