Granada is back in Spain's first division for the first time in 35 years after beating fellow second-division Elche to earn promotion on Saturday.
Granada eliminated Elche from their playoff series on the away goals rule in a 1-1 draw.
Granada hasn't played in the topflight since the 1975-76 season.
It went ahead in the 28th minute through Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo's opener and held on after Jordi Xumetra equalized in the 82nd.
