Being so far south, many skiers are pleasantly surprised to find the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts. The is an surprisingly active nightlife in the Sierra Nevada resort. Spaniards have a reputation for being 'night owls' and this can be witnessed even in a skiing resort.Most of the visitors come from Madrid and the cities of Andalucia, weekends and banks holidays are particularly busy. The season is December to April. The resort hosted the 1996 world ski championships. The Sierra Nevada resort is only 45 minutes drive from Granada city, one hour from Granada airport and 2 hour drive from Málaga airport
Catedral
This cathedral, with its five naves, is considered as the most important Renaissance building in Spain. Built between the Gothic and the Renaissance periods, it presents elements of an early renaissance style. It is particularly important for its main chapel (Capilla Mayor), for the lateral chapels and for the sculptures of the facade. It is 300 metres away from the Hotel.
Capilla Real
The Royal Chapel (Capilla Real) was built between 1505 and 1521, under the reign of the Catholic Kings. 300 metres away from the Hotel.
La Lonja
Building dating back to the 16th century, with a facade in plateresque style. It is close to the Cathedral and to the Capilla Real, 300 metres away from the Hotel.
La Alcaiceria
Old Arabic silk-market, which throughout the centuries has not lost any of its lively atmosphere (though today you are more likely to find souvenirs there).
El Albaicin
In this part of the city, on a hill right in front of the Alhambra, was located the king's residence during 11th centuries. To that period belong the remaining parts of the walls of the Alcazaba, the arches of Puerta Monaita, Puerta Elvira, Arco de las Pesas, the Arabic baths and the Palace of Dar Al-Horra, which belonged to the mother of King Boabdil. 2 km - 1.2 miles away from the Hotel.
Cuevas del Sacromonte
In these caves in the mountain of Sacromonte lived for centuries gypsies' communities.

Certainly they are something you shouldn't miss during your visit to Granada. 2 km - 1.2 miles away from the Hotel.
Alhambra y Generalife
The Alhambra is not only the most important, but also the best preserved Arabic palace of that period. There are two entrances, the northern Puerta de las Armas and the southern Puerta de la Justicia, which leads to the first courtyard and to the Mosque. The Generalife gardens date back to the 14th century and still have their original shape. 2 km - 1.3 miles away from the Hotel.

The straw donkey and sombrero image of Spain is now largely consigned to the bin - along with the paella and chips. In its place comes a sheaf of sparkling and evocative new images, as the visitor trend turns from sun-and-fun package holidays to individually tailored, more sophisticated themes.
Spain is a country on the move, a place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the country’s mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern metro and tram networks, testifying to a vibrant and growing economy. But here, too, you will find a country where
time stands still, where Romancolumns rise into a clear blue sky, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely Spanish harmony.
The historic cities of Spain are drenched in the atmosphere of the past, but well equipped to meet modern needs as well. The countryside is infinitely varied, from the ‘Green Spain’ of the rugged Atlantic coast to the parched plains of Castile and La Mancha. The open roads across endless open spaces produce a steady stream of surprises, with hidden villages and unexpected castles, shepherds roaming with their flocks and hilltop windmills appearing unexpectedly. It is a great country for touring.
Rich in history and natural beauty and with more than a fair share of sunshine Spain is a year-round, natural choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. Not least the people are warm and welcoming - and they know how to party. The Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at least one of its famous fiestas.
Geography Spain shares the Iberian Peninsula with its smaller neighbor, Portugal, and is bordered to the northeast by the Pyrenees Mountains, which separate Spain from France. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), 193km (120 miles) southeast of Barcelona, and the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa are part of Spain, as are the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African mainland.
Mainland Spain is the second highest and most mountainous country in Europe, with an average height of 610m (2,000ft). The Pyrenees stretch roughly 400km (249 miles) from the Basque Country’s Atlantic coast, eastwards to the Mediterranean Sea. In places the peaks rise to over 1,524m (5,000ft), the highest point being 3,404m (11,169ft). The main physical feature of Spain is the vast central plateau, or Meseta, divided by several chains of sierras. The higher northern area includes Castile and León, the southern section comprises Castile/La Mancha and Extremadura. In the south, the high plains rise further at the Sierra Morena before falling abruptly at the great valley of The Guadalquivir.
Southeast of Granada is the Sierra Nevada, part of the Betic Cordillera, which runs parallel to the Mediterranean, rising to 3,478m (11,411ft) at the summit of Mulhacen, the highest point on the Spanish peninsula (the Pico del Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries is the highest peak in Spain at 3,718m (12,198ft). The Mediterranean coast extends 1,660km (1,030 miles) from the French frontier to the Straits of Gibraltar, the narrow strip of water linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and separating Spain from North Africa.
