COME SKI OR SNOWBOARD IN SPAIN

Those who come and stay with us to ski or snowboard are actually glad that the benefits of the southernmost ski resort in Europe are never mentioned on UK TV ski resort weather reports.

And some of them work at SKY! 
But they make sure that those who produce the European ski resort weather broadcasts have not heard about how you can ski or snowboard in Spain one part of the day, and be on the beach on that same day.

Or they could be down below in the great city of Granada within half an hour, enjoying beer, wine and free tapas.

They want to keep the Sierra Nevada ski resort a secret.
But we don't. Come rent our exquisite accommodation now and be on the slopes within the hour.

Here is a taste of what to expect

PROPERTY TO RENT. 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS. LARGE ROOF TERRACE. LECRÍN VALLEY, SOUTH OF GRANADA





















This property is available to let long term or for short holiday lets.

Mondujar is in the Lecrín Valley and convenient for the motorway that runs between the city of Granada and the coastal port of Motril.

Nearby - the splendid city of Granada, the Alhambra Palace and the beaches of Motril are all a 20 minute drive away. On your doorstep are rural walks, the pretty white washed villages of the valley, orange and lemon groves and local bars, shops & banks. The Sierra Nevada ski resort is a 50 minute drive from Mondujar.

The property - has two large double bedrooms. One with king sized bed, the other with twin beds. Open plan lounge & dining room with all electric, modern kitchen. Bathroom with bath and shower over. 3 juliet balconies with views to mountains and Andalucian patio. Vast sunny roof terrace with dining table, chairs and sun loungers.

The Lecrín Valley represents authentic Andalucia. In Spring the valley smells of orange blossom. It is a beautiful area. In summer the town hall opens the large open air swimming pool, a 5 minute walk from our front door.

Seaside - the more commercial resorts of Almuñécar and Salobreña are a thirty minute drive from our sleepy village.

Mondujar - for those of you into history, this is one of the most historic areas in all of Spain. There are many examples of the Moorish influence, including our local Mudejar church. Past Kings and Queens of Spain are buried under this former mosque.

Weather - this is an area of extremes. In July and August temperatures can exceed 40 degrees celsius. In February they can sink below zero, but not for long (yes it does snow in Spain - see above photo). The most pleasant temperatures are in spring & autumn.

Prices - we have one set of prices for weekly bookings all year long. Irrespective of Easter & Christmas holidays. Regardless of whether it is summer or winter. We keep it simple. Those prices are:-
For 2 person occupancy = 250 Euros per week
For 4 person occupancy = 300 Euros per week

*For long term let prices, get in touch now. The property can be rented for periods of 6-9 months at a time at very competitive rates.

REASON TO STAY WITH US NUMBER 3 - SIERRA NEVADA SKI RESORT



Snow! Yes, that's right. The white stuff is back. It's amazing how the ski reports on the likes of Sky News never mention the most southerly ski resort in Europe. The Sierra Nevada resort above Granada. We are a 50 minute drive from the resort.
And further snowfall is forecast for this weekend. Get here now!
We are 20 minutes from the beaches of the Costa Tropical and 20 minutes from Granada city centre. It's a cliche, but stay with us and you can truly be on the ski slopes in the morning and having lunch on the beach in the afternoon. What's better is that by staying in the Lecrin Valley you will be in the land of oranges and lemons.
The oranges are falling off the trees right now. They are for sale at many of the now non smoking bars in the Lecrin Valley. Or you can go for a walk and pick up lots of windfalls for free. So squeezed oranges for breakfast. Snow sports in the morning. Lunch on the beach. Dinner in the restaurants of Granada. Or free tapas in the authentic bars in this splendid city.
Book a holiday now for 250 euros per week and our essential guidebook to the 100 best tapas bars in the city and province of Granada is free.
The sun shines. The snow falls. It is a wonderful time of the year in this unique part of Spain.
