How many towns are there in Granada province?
Granada province has 174 municipalities. This map has 524 towns and villages, because every name is a settlement with its own name (a city, a town, a village, a housing estate), not a municipality: one municipality can hold several. Of those 524, 441 fit on the poster.

What the names tell you
- The longest name on the poster is Urbanización Cahíz de San Gregorio (30 letters); the shortest, Gor and Jun, have 3.
- 83 places don’t fit. The largest of them are Churriana de la Vega, Ogíjares and Pulianas: they sit right next to Granada and its suburbs, where bigger names have already taken the space.
- 14 names start with Venta, Ventas or Ventorros, after the old ventas: roadside inns.
- 9 names appear twice: two Tocón, two Buenavista, two La Ermita and more. They are different places, so the list marks them with “(2)”.
- One village is called Duda (“doubt”) and another Baúl (“trunk”). Both made it onto the poster.
