Granada was born in Asunción, Paraguay. She moved to the United States with her mother at the age of 14 in 2001 after receiving a scholarship to attend the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bradenton, Florida. While a student there, she earned numerous junior amateur titles. She was named to the American Junior Golf Association All-America Team from 2001 to 2004, and was the AJGA player of the year in 2004, when she won the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship. Granada graduated in 2005 from the Pendleton School, a private school established solely for students attending the Leadbetter Academy and other affiliated IMG sports academies.
Granada turned professional in June 2005 and won her first professional event at the Futures Tour's YMCA Futures Classic later that year. In 2006, her rookie season on the LPGA Tour, she was 19th on the money list going into the season-ending ADT Championship. She won that event to claim the first US$1 million prize in women's golf. At the end of 2008 Granada attended qualifying school for the Ladies Euruopean Tour (LET) and has been playing on the LET and on the LPGA since then.
