From 1942 until the 1980s, it alternated between the top flight and the Segunda División, with its golden age coming during the late 1960s and mid 70s, as the Andalusian club had eight consecutive top flight seasons between 1968–69 and 1975–76 and made the Copa del Rey semi and quarter-finals on 4 occasions. These seasons also included a best-ever sixth league places in the 1971–72 and 1973–74 seasons. Granada finished the 1971–72 season with 9 wins in the last 10 home games, with powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid being among those wins.
In 1959 Granada achieved its greatest landmark, being the runner-up of the ''Copa del Generalísimo'' (later ''Copa del Rey'').

===Decline and revival=== Granada spent most of the following seasons in the Segunda División B, and were relegated to the fourth tier in 2002–03, due to failing to pay its players under the presidency of Francisco Jimena.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|date=24 May 2010|title=22 años en el infierno|trans-title=Granada, 22 years in hell|url=http://www.granadahoy.com/article/deportes/708481/anos/infierno.html|access-date=20 June 2011|publisher=Granada Hoy|language=es|archive-date=30 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160330140955/http://www.granadahoy.com/article/deportes/708481/anos/infierno.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After four seasons in the fourth division, former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz, along with his son Paco, arrived at the club.

==Kit and colours== {{unreferenced section|small=yes|date=February 2015}}
Upon its foundation, the club's kits were a shirt with blue and white vertical stripes and white shorts. After the Spanish Civil War the club owners went to Madrid to buy new ones, but they couldn't find other than red and white striped shirts. That became the official colour scheme from then on.
In the 1970s, the club changed the vertical stripes to horizontal. The kit alternated horizontal and vertical strip patterns until 2004–05, when a member assembly decided to settle for the horizontal pattern.
