This initiative aims to strengthen international cooperation in the cultural sector and support literary creation—one of the key goals established by Granada as a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN).

The Granada International Writers in Residence Programme is open to writers and literary translators residing in any country and writing in any language.

The offer

A 30-night stay in Granada for two writers, from November 3 to December 2, 2025 (inclusive), at the Corrala de Santiago, a guest residence of the University of Granada.
Granada UNESCO City of Literature will cover travel expenses for each selected writer.
The University of Granada will provide full board accommodation in a private room at the Corrala de Santiago.
Both institutions will offer the resident writers opportunities to engage with the literary life of Granada, including meetings with local writers and participation in workshops and educational activities.
