Best school to learn. We had a great teacher Mr Daniel Benedicto ( Dani ). It was our first time but we end up skiing in just 2 hours class . I recommend to everyone to ask for Dani if you really want to have good time and best teacher.

We had the best time ! Dani and the team were super helpful - Conviniently located by the ski lift- The kids loved the lessons and with further constant practice they conquered skiing in 3 days. We as adults also took lessons; the instructor pitched the lesson perfectly, to have us competent straightaway- My husband had skied before but it was the first time for me, and I couldn’t have done it without them !

Andalusia's mountainous Alpujarra region features Spain's highest peak, Mulhacén, rising to a height of 3,478 meters. It provides perhaps the best walking and hiking country in Andalucia and boasts many picturesque villages for the less adventurous traveler.

Last year, at the end of September we spent 5 days walking in the Alpujarras region. We visited Lanjaron, a spa centre, where we stayed in the hotel ESPANA. Also went to Treveléz, well-known for its mouthwatering curred ham jamon serrano. The village of Treveléz is the highest in mainland Spain, at 1,486m. The best of best was "Walk 6128": CAPILEIRA-BUBIÓN-PAMPANEIRA length: 3.8miles. It was a lovely sunny day, stunning views and amazing white villages.

We hiked this on our own a few weeks after the area had received heavy rain. The river was high, the path was muddy near the village and slick in many spots. We had a blast negotiating our way up the gorge. This trail is not for anyone who struggles to crawl, or scamper along a cement wall holding onto metal grabs. There are multiple areas where you have to do both and I was glad the river wasn't any higher or we would have had difficulty in a few spots where you have to climb down into the river and step along the cement wall to stay on the trail. You'll want your hands free and good hiking shoes. When we got to the top of the trail we took a road around the edge of the canyon back into the village. This was not a interesting or as pretty as the gorge. If you have time you may want to go back along the river.

Sierra Nevada is the southernmost ski resort in Europe and the highest in Spain with a minimum height of 2,100m, where the Pradollano urbanization is located (being the highest urban nucleus in Andalusia) and a maximum height of 3,300m, its highest peak is Veleta which stands at 3,398m being the fourth highest summit in Spain only behind Teide (Tenerife), Mulhacén (Sierra Nevada) and Aneto (Pyrenees). It is located in the Sierra Nevada natural park and belongs to the municipality of Monachil in the province of Granada. One of its main characteristics is its good climate, the geographical situation in which it is found makes the Sun and good weather predominate and thanks to its high altitude the fallen snow is preserved, sometimes from the beginning of autumn until well into spring . Its more than 107kms of skiable terrain make Sierra Nevada one of the largest resorts in Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, making Sierra Nevada one of the preferred destinations for all lovers of skiing.

Sierra Nevada was a great experience. The infrastructure is working very well. Parking in a huge public garage located right under the central part of Sierra Nevada. Many hotels and restaurants are within convenient walking distance from the garage and so are the ski rental shops and also the efficient skilifts. The ski area offers great skiing for all kind of skiers aswell as nice restaurants with both indoor and outdoor seeting.
