Albolote is a city located in the province of Granada, Spain. It is one of the thirty-four entities which together form Granada's
Metropolitan Area. It is formed by several populations: El Aire, El Chaparral, and Parque del
Cubillas y Pretel. There are also several residential areas throughout the legal borders of the municipality. Inside those limits you can also find Granada's Penitential Center (Centro Penitencial de Granada, in Spanish). According to Spain's Instituto Nacional de Estadística, the city had a total population of 15,563 in 2005.
On 19 April 1956, Albolote and the neighboring town of Atarfe were struck by a 5.0 earthquake, Spain's most destructive of the 20th century. About a dozen people died from the earthquake and subsequent landslide, and many buildings were ruined.
The Granada metro network, which opened in 2017, provides the town with a light metro link to central Granada.
