Ok, I admit that I am biased about this, bearing in mind that as I right this, I am looking out at Mulhacen back lit by a full moon. In skiing I am very much a beginner, but that has not stopped me taking various trips to the ski resort itself during the winter months. I live about 50 mins drive away. Skiing wise, I found that the beginners section on the slopes were pretty good, though it could be said that the green slope is pretty blue at the top, which to the terrified novice, can be tricky. I did not use a ski school either, something I regret now, as having investigated for a trip up to the resort this year, I have found an abundance of English speaking instructors. There are plenty of places to eat. I have not sampled many, but am sure that there is something to everyone´s taste. I read a comment from someone stating that there was not much choice for veggies.. this could be said for many places in Spain, where if it has not got pork in it, you are not sampling traditional fare. Snow wise, this year has been quite poor as we have had very little bad weather at all. I am hoping that what there is left, lasts till the end of the month when I go! From a tourists point of view, with the beautiful city of Granada just down the road and so many other options for sports available, this resort (though not so cheap) is fantastic!! I love it!!
