WINTER UNIVERSIADE GRANADA 2015
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Dear friends,
For the members of the Organising Committee of the Winter Universiade Granada 2015, it is an honour to host you in our city. Through this guide, we would like
to introduce you into an event in which we have worked with enthusiasm, as the
Universiade represents a great opportunity for us.
From time immemorial, both Winter sports and University have been a symbol
of identity of Granada. For this reason, we cannot imagine a better event than the
Winter Universiade we are introducing in this manual. Granada 2015 will be a window to show the world our province, in an audience especially important for us:
university students. We would not like to forget the legacy this event will leave regarding knowledge and promotion of sport, principles we share deeply with the International University Sports Federation. Concerning ice sports, the Universiade will
bequeathe an important legacy, as Winter sports in Granada will come full circle.
As other sports events, this Universiade has overcome some difficulties. Fortunately, the experience through decades organizing international high level and
very demanding sports events, has left an important legacy in this city regarding
organizational skills. As an example, the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in
1996 left timeless memories in the province, as well as the recent ISSF World Shooting Championships or the FIBA Basketball World Cup. They all left an important
mark, as we are sure the Winter Universiade will do.
I would like to reiterate my gratitude for counting on your presence. You are
also the Universiade.
Welcome!

IMAGE MANAGEMENT
The first target of the Marketing and Sponsorship activities is to develop a creative
strategy which is able to create high visibility and to communicate efficiently, in
order to gain an image of easily recognizable impact.
The organization of the Winter Universiade, in 2015, belongs to a promotional
strategy pursued by Granada over the years, aiming at the organization of great
international sporting events, with a high level of media visibility, to promote Granada’s culture, identity, highlights, touristic offer and the fact that Granada is a cultural district. Taking into account the media importance of this event, a look of high
visual impact has been designed using attractive forms and colors. The design of
all communication and promotional materials as well as the facilities of the venues
are attuned to the characteristics of the event look, young & modern, and can be
therefore easily associated with the Universiade.

CHAPTER 2
WELCOME TO GRANADA
2.1 GRANADA
The province of Granada covers an area of 12.647 km2 and is inhabited by more
than 925,000 people. The city is located in the eastern part of the depression of
Granada, at the foothills of the National Park of Sierra Nevada.
With over a thousand years of history, Granada is one of the cities with the largest
cultural heritage. The Alhambra, the Albaicin or Sierra Nevada are the icons of a
province with innumerable natural and artistic treasures.
Over half an hour drive leads the visitor to the Mediterranean Sea. In spring it is
even possible to ski and enjoy the beach in the same day.
Tourism is the principal driver behind Granada’s economy, because of its monuments and the closeness of its professional ski resort -about a million skiers come to
Sierra Nevada each season-, and the historic area known as La Alpujarra. Amongst
its historical buildings, the Alhambra is one of the largest in the country, named
World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984, along with the Gardens of the Generalife
and Albaicin. The Cathedral is considered the first Renaissance church in Spain.
Over five centuries, the University of Granada has deeply influenced the character of the city. It currently has more than 60,000 students annually, and receives
another 20,000 in additional courses. It has 3,650 teachers. The institution is a
benchmark for foreign students and has become one of the most popular among
young people of the Erasmus program.

CHAPTER 2
2.2 SIERRA NEVADA
The National and Natural Park of Sierra Nevada has the two highest peaks of the
Iberian Peninsula: the Mulhacén (3,842 m) and the Veleta (3,392 m). It was declared Reserve of the Biosphere by the UNESCO in 1986, Natural Park in 1989 and,
finally, National Park in 1999.
Sierra Nevada, Sulayr, the mountain of the sun as it was called by the Muslims, it is a
giant, compact mass that holds up to twenty peaks above 3,000 meters, including
Mulhacen -3482 meters, the highest point of the Iberian Peninsula.
Sighted from the north, from the depression of Granada, a relief of ridged peaks
can be seen in the horizon. The footsteps of the Quaternary glacial erosion, the
southernmost of the European continent, come into focus. And in the inside,
unique and spectacular valleys embossed in “U”, cirques, lagoons, lateral moraines
and summits, such as the Laguna de la Caldera, can be enjoyed.
26
WELCOME TO GRANADA
We should not forget its fauna and its flora. It has 2100 catalogued vegetal species, 65 being exclusive species: the stars of snows, the poppy of the mountain
range, cammomile and the violet of Sierra Nevada. This alpine area, located in the
heart of Andalusia, has an abundant fauna with more than 60 species of birds and
diverse mammals like the ibex - which is relatively easy to see jumping between
the snow-white stones of the summit. Also, the common small mole and the weasels stand out. The numerous springs, water-bearing streams, rivers and aquifers
receive the frozen water from the high summits during the thaw, giving greater
splendor to the landscape and the towns of the Alpujarra. This area is suitable
for the practice of sports like trekking or to walk in one of the diverse routes that
cross the park: the Vereda de la Estrella, the itinerary of the Trevélez River or the
Capileira-Mulhacén.

CHAPTER 2
WELCOME TO GRANADA
2.2.1 OTHER NATURAL PARKS IN GRANADA
The province of Granada has a great diversity of natural, as well as a great amount
of places of a rich environmental value.
In all of them a great variety of vegetal species and animals can be found, many of
them endemic.
Sierra de Huétor Natural Park
The Sierra de Huétor Natural Park is very near to the city of Granada, situation that
has turned it into a space of relaxation. Its extension occupies 12,128 hectares and
it is placed between 1,100 and 1,900 m of altitude. The limestone nature of its soil
gives way to landscapes of incredible beauty with mountainous elevations, narrow ravines, edges, calares and streams. The karstic formation like the Agua cave
stands out. The water has a special importance in this place as like tool to shape
the landscape, as well as generator of life. From the well-known Fuente Grande of
Alfacar to the Canal of Aynadamar, the water was taken to the Albaicín in Arab
period and is still today, to the gardens and fountains of the Alhambra. About the
vegetation, the Sierra de Huetor Natural Park is covered by forests of pine groves,
as well as by great spots of Holm oak forests, some quejigales and forests of oaks
and maples. Its fauna also has wealth, with great variety of mammals like the ibex,
the wild boar, the fox, the gineta, the weasel and the wild cat. Also, we found a
great amount of prey birds like the royal eagle, the azor and the royal owl. The implication of this area in the protection of its fauna can be seen thanks to the work
made by the Recovery Centre of Threatened Species of Las Mimbres.
The Mountain range of Baza Natural Park
The Mountain range of Baza Natural Park is located in a place of incomparable
beauty between two extensive plains that correspond to the Hoya de Guadix-Granada and the Llanos of El Marquesado. There are many testimonies that say that it
was an area already populated from very old times. Thus, it is necessary to emphasize to the visitor the paintings in the rock from the Palaeolithic period found in the
Jabalcon mount. About the fauna, the park has a rich community of birds, the prey
birds standing out among them, like the royal eagle or the royal owl, great amount
of small mammals like the wild cat or the badger, and small reptiles and amphibians
that inhabit the groves of the rivers: common frog, snake... About the vegetation,
it changes as we go up. Stand out as native species the oaks, the thorny scrub,
the quejigos and the maples. Stand out the repopulations of the laricio pine and
the carrasco pine. It is of great importance from the botanical point of view the
community of thyme, unique species in the mountainous area, located in the called
Blanquizares, as well as the Prados del Rey, with beautiful humid landscapes of
high mountain that nourish of numerous streams and springs. We must not forget
that the park is furrowed by small streams and rivers that in their majority spill their
waters in the Baza River.
Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park
The Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama National Park is located between the
provinces of Granada and Málaga, creating a natural border between them. Its history is full of legend on smuggling, forbidden activities, rebellion and resistance to
the established order. This park has great similarities with the mountainous massifs
of the north of Spain, with which it shares an impressive morphology dominated
28
29
CHAPTER 2
WELCOME TO GRANADA
by steep slopes, acute crests and deep ravines. It has very high peaks, like the Maroma, of 2,068 meters. Among its flora, species like the carrasco pine, the palmito,
revientacabras or the boxwood stand out. Finally, in its fauna we can find squirrels,
ibex and prey birds.
The Sierra de Castril Natural Park
The Sierra de Castril Natural Park is located within the municipal term of the same
name. One of the most outstanding things of the park is its orography, shaped
thanks to the limestone composition of its ground, to the great amount of rain in
the summits and to the action of the water and the wind. Due to all of this, there
are a great amount of caves, grottos and galleries in this natural place, where the
Muerto cave and the Don Fernando cave, the biggest in length and depth, with the
Colada hall, stand out.
About its vegetation, in the higher points of the park can be find salgareño pine
surrounded by sabinas, junipers, quejigos and maples. Its fauna is also very abundant, with unique species in the Iberian Peninsula as they are certain butterflies
and musgaño of Cabrera, a mammal with aspect of mouse, very difficult to spot. In
their walls the leonado vultures, the peregrine falcon and the Egyptian vulture nest.
About the mammals, the ibex stands out.
Other natural spaces
- NATURAL PLACE MARO-CERRO GORDO CLIFFS. Located in the Tropical Coast,
it is a coastal relief of 395 hectares formed by the erosion where the Sierra de Almijara is opened to the Mediterranean Sea. In its marine depths valuable prairies
of posidonia grow. It is an area of high ecological value, ideal to practice scuba
diving.
- LA SAGRA. It has the highest summits of Andalusia after Sierra Nevada, placed
behind the Mountain ranges of Cazorla and Segura. The landscape that surrounds
it has very marked contrasts, passing from an almost steppe vegetation in some
areas to remarkable forests of pines and oaks.
- SIERRA DE ORCE. It houses deposits of great paleonthological and archaeological importance, like Venta Micena.
- SIERRA GORDA- LOJA. This karstic modelled example, ideal of for the practice
of the free fall, is used as habitat, in the well-known area known as El Charco del
Negro, to species like the gallipato.
- SIERRA DE LOS GUÁJARES. First mountainous step that, along with the Sierra
de Lújar, works as a bridge between the sea and the south western slope of Sierra
Nevada. Its cultivation system in terraces recalls the Muslim inheritance.
- SIERRA DE LÚJAR. This mountainous relief of the Alpujarra allows the lovers of
the free flight to land in the coast.
- SIERRA DE LA CONTRAVIESA. In the heart of the Alpujarra, between Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea, it is a traditional area of grapeyards and wine
production.

2.3 GRANADA, TECHNOLOGICAL CITY
Granada’s ICT industry represents more than 400 companies, more than 4,000
direct jobs and more than 6% of the GDP of the province in terms of turnover.
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
Granada’s ICT industry leads national markets, has obtained national and International recognitions and awards, and increasingly exports more technology and
knowledge every year.
A UNIQUE ECO-SYSTEM
The mix made up of University of Granada UGR, a well-entrenched ICT industry,
dynamic and innovative University Spin-offs, quality of life and enviable weather,
below the average operational costs and efficient, and in some cases unique, infrastructures, represent the ideal ecosystem for any ICT company.
IDEAL NEAR-SHORING DESTINATION
The high qualification of the engineers in the ETSIIT of the University of Granada
(UGR), working conditions and the low cost of infrastructures position Granada as
an ideal destination for near-shoring. In fact, Granada has already attracted international investment which has accounted for the creation of more than 500 jobs
in the past four years.
ECONOMIC DRIVERS
More than 85% of Granada´s ICT Company employees are university graduates or
senior engineers, positioned at the highest pay levels, posing a clear drive element
in consumption, trade and economic sectors of the city.
NOW IT IS THE ICT´S TURN
Needless to mention the current economic situation. At other times were different
sectors who “pulled” from the economy. The ICT sector has continued to grow in
recent years and it has positioned itself as a clear candidate to become one of the
pillars of the economy. It is only necessary to promote this trend in Granada.

2.6
THE UNIVERSITY OF GRANADA
The University de Granada (UGR), founded in 1531, continues a long teaching tradition, the roots of which can be traced back to the madrasahs of the last Nasrid
Kingdom.
The University is a vibrant presence in the city of Granada, benefiting from the
distinctive beauty of its environment and a privileged geographical location due
to its proximity to the Sierra Nevada, an excellent ski resort and the Mediterranean
coast, with several major tourist sites, including Motril, Almuñécar and Salobreña.
In Granada, there are four University Campuses, as well as the “Campus Centro”, in
which all the Centers spread throughout the historic part of the city are brought together. The UGR’s policy of using buildings of historical and cultural value has enriched its heritage, as well as promoting the restoration and maintenance of these
buildings. In addition to this emphasis on more traditional elements, the Health Science Technological Park, which is still being developed, demonstrates our strong
commitment to innovation by promoting interaction with technological bio-health
companies and favoring high-quality healthcare and biomedical knowledge. There
are two other UGR Campuses in the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, in Northern Africa.
Over 60.000 undergraduate and postgraduate students study at the UGR, with
another 20.000 students taking additional courses, language courses, summer
courses etc. The University employs 3650 lecturers and over 2000 administration,
technical and maintenance staff.
The Vice-Chancellor is Mr. Francisco González Lodeiro and the Management of the
University operates through several collegiate bodies, such as the Faculty and the
Governing Council, and individual bodies, such as the Deputy ViceChancellor’s Offices, Management and General Secretariat. On the General Secretariat page you can find, amongst other information, the Official Journal, Regulations and a telephone directory of the University.
For many years, the UGR has promoted a significant international activity through
the Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s Office for International Relations. The importance of
the presence of international students is most clearly demonstrated by the 606
mobility agreements signed with European Higher Education institutions and the
ERASMUS mobility programs; the UGR is the leading European university in terms
of receiving students and the second Spanish university in terms of the mobility
of its own students. The University is also involved in major exchange programs
with universities in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Central and Eastern
Europe, the Middle East, Mediterranean countries, Australia, Oceania and Asia.
