Traditionalists (Alhambra)

The traditionalists were the ruling faction of the Kingdom of Granada during its period of self-government (1815–1837). Lacking a clear ideology, this heterogenous group of politicians was mainly concentrated on maintaining the quasi-feudal social order that had existed in the country since its conquest by the Spanish in the late 15th century. As such, the faction was mainly composed of powerful landowners, irrespective of their religious or ethnic appearance.

The rule of the traditionalists would end when its rivals, the nationalists, rebelled in the Andalusian Revolution in 1837. The traditionalists would subsequently scatter into the parties that emerged after the establishment of the First Republic.
