- Rupert from Portugal writes:
The attraction of this resort is its accessibility to southern Spain and Portugal. It is less of a credible alternative to the Alps or Pyranees to those who are travelling long distances. It is a high mountain with decent cold snow during the season, tending to become a good late winter resort. The resort itself requires lots of uphill walking unless you are staying close to the lifts. It doesn't have the apres-ski vibe experienced in the Alps. Whilst the ski area can be covered in a day by experienced skiers, the runs are fairly decent. The gondola takes you to a mid station from where you progressive climb from green to blue to red runs. The reds are quite steep. Therefore, it is good for families or mixed ability groups. It lacks the charm of other European counterparts, but is a great facility to have so close to to the med. Granada is 45 mins away and a great town to visit. The sea is 90 minutes away. Avoid weekends and holidays.
