Sierra Nevada is about 20 miles from the city of Granada.
The Sierra Nevada or "snowy range", is a mountain
range in the region of Andalusia. It contains the highest point
of continental Spain, the Mulhacén at 3,482 metres. It
is a popular tourist destination and its high peaks make skiing
possible in a region mostly known for its warm temperatures and
abundant sunshine. A major investment has been made in the resort´s
snow-making system, guaranteeing skiing and extending the season.
At its foothills is found the city of Granada and, a little farther,
Málaga and Almería. Sierra Nevada´s village
offers a variety of services including hotels, shops, night clubs,
pubs and bars, discotheques etc. It also has a medical centre,
child day-care centre, banks, ATM´s, supermarkets, many
shops, hairdressers, car rental, taxi service and a chemist. |
