I can't say I was aware that Granada was in an earthquake zone when we decided to buy property here, but over the past year there have been at least four significant (if not particularly dramatic) tremors in the area. Another one is reported here - it occurred yesterday and was centred in Atarfe on the Vega - the other side of the province from us, on the road to Cordoba. Last Autumn we suffered a mysterious broken plumbing joint (and subsequent minor flood) which coincided with one of the little earthquakes, and while we can't know whether the events were connected, I wonder. These tremors are still sufficiently rare to make the front page in Andalucia, even without damage. In Mexico they're a daily threat and I remember seeing signs like this one in public buildings.
Anyway, our plumbing was fixed and the floodwater cleaned up by our wonderful friends from Nieles, and the house is spick, span and awaiting your visit. There's still 20% off full weeks if you book before the end of March, and Easter is still free.
