Skiing - Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada
The Sierra Nevada in Spain is the most southern ski station in Europe and within 3 hours drive from the Aloe apartment. 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.
