Nuevo Los Cármenes is a football stadium located in Granada, Spain, and serves as the home ground of Granada CF. Opened in the mid-1990s, the stadium has a capacity of around 19,000 spectators and offers a compact, football-focused environment. Set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, it is one of the most distinctive mid-sized stadiums in Spanish football.
Nuevo Los Cármenes was inaugurated in 1995 to replace the club’s former ground. It became the permanent home of Granada CF and has hosted league football across multiple tiers of Spanish competition. The stadium gained wider recognition during the club’s periods in La Liga and European qualification campaigns.
The stadium features a rectangular bowl with four stands enclosing the pitch. Seating areas are relatively close to the field, providing clear sightlines throughout. Incremental upgrades modernized facilities while maintaining the stadium’s compact character.
Matchdays at Nuevo Los Cármenes are known for their intense and passionate atmosphere. Granada CF supporters create strong vocal backing, particularly during local derbies and top-flight fixtures. The enclosed layout helps concentrate crowd noise and build home advantage.
The stadium is located in the Zaidín district of Granada, south of the city center. It is accessible by bus and road connections, with matchday transport services operating from central areas of the city.
The name Nuevo Los Cármenes refers to the historic Los Cármenes area of Granada and distinguishes the stadium from the club’s former ground. The name reflects local tradition rather than commercial sponsorship.
