Pada akhir masa [[Reconquista|''[[reconquista'']]'', hanya Granada yang tersisa untuk ditaklukan oleh Fernando dan Isabel. [[Keamiran Granada]] dipimpin oleh wangsa Nasrid sejak pertengahan abad ketiga belas.<ref>Edwards, John. ''Ferdinand and Isabella''.

Pada 1 Februari 1482,Fernando dan Isabel tiba di Media del Campo dan ini umumnya dipandang sebagai awal perang dengan Granada. Saat Fernando dan Isabel turut serta dalam perang sejak awal, kepemimpinan Granada justru terpecah belah dan tidak berada dalam satu kesatuan.<ref>Edwards, John. ''Ferdinand and Isabella''. Pearson Education Limited, 2005, p. 48–49</ref> Meskipun begitu, masih tetap membutuhkan waktu sekitar sepuluh tahun untuk menaklukannya, puncaknya pada 1492.
