Residencia
Carmen de la Duquesa in Pinos Genil is only 25 minutes drive
from the ski resort of Sierra Nevada with some of the best skiing
and snowboarding in Europe available from October to May. It
has slopes suitable for all standards of skier |

Sierra
Nevada defies many concepts associated with skiing. Located
at barely a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean coast, it has
practically guaranteed sunshine, the best spring snow conditions
in Europe and is still reasonably priced compared to many of
its European counterparts. As one of Europe's highest resorts
it has a typically long season, traditionally opening at the
end of November running through to the end of April or even
into the first week of May. |

Sierra
Nevada literally means "Snowy Mountain Range" and includes some
of the highest peaks in Europe not to mention the highest concentration
of peaks over 3,000m in the country. The Mulhacen at 3,482m
is the Iberian Peninsula's highest. |

There
is a recently restored footpath providing a gentle walk from
Pinos Genil to Granada along the river. There’s also a number
of mountain walks for the more energetic. The area is good for
cycling (including mountain biking), fishing in the nearby reservoir,
paragliding and there is a water park not far away. The beach
resort of Motril is 45 minutes drive but when the new motorway
is completed in 2010 this will reduce travel time to 30 minutes.
