Tucked away among the Sierra Nevada Mountains in southern Spain, this Andalusian gem is awash with an infectious charm and a strong sense of mystery brought on by its storied history. In Granada, churches were once the sites of mosques, bakeries formerly bath houses and shops primarily served tea instead of tapas. Granada's history as a former Moorish empire is demonstrated in its age-old architecture and its rich culture heritage that captivates the many travelers who make the trek to this small Spanish city every year. And visitors may quickly discover that in Granada anything is possible. You can catch a flamenco show in caves once inhabited by African gypsies, shop goods that can be found on the streets of Morocco, hike the foothills of Spain’s largest national park overlooked by snow peaked mountains and with Granada's thriving tapas scene never find the time for dinner.

If you are in to snow skiing or just some of the most beautiful scenery and hikes in the world, you can stay in Granada and then venture out to all that is amazing. Only 30 to 40 minutes outside of Granada is the Sierra Nevada ski complex, a perfect place for both novice and experienced ski enthusiasts. Of course, you can stay at one of the many accomodations in the Sierra Nevada ski complex, and avoid the very, very winding roads to get there. In addition, there are many “Pueblos Blancos” or white villages nestled through out the mountains too!
