Nationalists (Alhambra)

The nationalists were a political faction in the Majlis of the self-governing Kingdom of Granada in the early 18th century. This faction remained in opposition throughout its entire existence as the traditionalists retained power. The nationalist faction was unifying force for the two major currents of Andalusian nationalism as it unified the "secular" and "religious" factions of the nationalist movement.

The nationalists' frustration with the stagnation of the Kingdom and the conservation of the feudal social hierarchy, a group of young radicals would ultimately create the National Party, the country's first political party. This party would eventually lead the way for the Andalusian Revolution that would create the Republic of Andalusia and its democratic constitution in 1837–1838.
