Sierra Nevada

Nature's Majestic Playground

One of the best natural retreats in Spain is Sierra Nevada located in Granada, which is in the southern part of Andalusia. It is the highest mountain range on the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking a beautiful city called Granada and providing an excellent view for Alhambra. This mountain range has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with its wide range of fauna and flora, unique landscapes and numerous recreational activities.

It has a skiing resort at its south-most point where winter sports are practiced at their most exciting level with peaks covered by snow. This does not mean that Sierra Nevada is only a place for winter vacations though. In fact, it offers various summer activities through its natural parks, virgin lakes and trails for hiking. Its varied topography makes unforgettable memories possible e.g., during summer you can go hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding while skiing, snowboarding or mountaineering during winter periods.
