Local attractions

The fabulous city of Granada, allows you the opportunity to mix the ancient with the modern. If you tire of the Alhambra and the Albaicin - Granada's surviving Arab quarter, the Cathedral or any of the other outstanding ancient monuments, you can retire to one of the many squares and indulge in the Spanish pastime of just sitting and watching the rest of the city parade past you as you try to decide how much tapas will keep you going until the locals decide it's late enough to eat dinner.

Sol y Nieve ski resort in the Sierra Nevada. Ski season runs from December to March. In the summertime it reverts to a national park, where you can walk, mountain bike, horse ride or participate in any number of similar adventurous activities.

Las Alpujarras - made famous by Gerald Brennan and more recently in the book 'Driving over Lemons'. A collection of authentic villages and hamlets, fantastic scenery and spectacular views. Home to many local craft, trade and produce sellers and the location of the highest village in Spain.

Costa Tropical - the nearest coastal area, which boasts typically Spanish seaside towns, especially out of season, where you can eat freshly caught produce at the many small restaurants located on the beach.
