Granada means pomegranate in Spanish

but...pomegranates were named after Granada, NOT the other way around!

Just an interesting fact for ya'll

Granada is an Arabic name from a LONG time ago, and when the French came to Granada they called the fruit Apple of Granada ...pomme de grenade ( i think that is how they say Granada)= pomegranate! They grow everywhere around Granada. So there ya go...the fruit was named after the city!

COOL
