About Güejar Sierra in the Sierra Nevada Mountains - Granada:If you would prefer a little more activity, you might prefer the charms of our second location. Nestled just to the East of historic Granada in the heart of the Sierra Nevada National Park - the pretty little town of Güejar Sierra, with its cobbled streets and flower draped balconies is not only close to the Sierra Nevada Ski Resort but also a hitherto undiscovered gem - a well kept Spanish secret.
Panoramic Views of Sierra NevadaGüejar Sierra is a slightly larger town than Albuñuelas, perched in a dramatic position with panoramic views of the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains just at the point where they dip their toes into the beautiful Canales reservoir. Being larger, Güejar has more to choose from in terms of bars and restaurants - both within the town itself and in the surrounding area. Many of the restaurants have summer terraces where you can eat and enjoy breathtaking views at the same time and many also have summer pools. At nearby Maitena, you can also swim in a mountain pool or, if you prefer the beach, the Costa Tropical is still only 45 minutes away. The Alhambra Palace and GranadaNo trip to the area would be complete without a visit to the spectacular Alhambra Palace and historic Granada. Both can be reached from here within about 20 minutes (a spectacular drive) and our mountain apartments in Güejar are also ideally placed for the ski resort (about 35 minutes to the ski lifts). Güejar for Outdoor Adventure and Skiing the Sierra NevadaGüejar is 35 mins from Pradollano - the Sierra Nevada ski resort (20 mins when the new link road is finished). The resort is also known as "Sol y Nieve" (Sun and Snow) and historically enjoys great Spring snow conditions. While skiing is great in the Sierra Nevada and the views of Africa from the top are spectacular, the resort itself was built relatively recently. Staying in Güejar offers the unique opportunity to sample the diverse skiing of the Sierra Nevada while at the same time enjoying the experience of living in a traditional Spanish village. It is also a great centre for mountain sports, family and adventure activities. This is an ideal base for mountain biking, walks of all levels, ice/rock climbing, canoeing, rafting, paragliding, horse-riding etc. The campsite complex close by offers yet another restaurant with dramatic views, plus a pool, play area, archery and other activities for children. There are also water parks in Granada and Almunecar. Our Güejar Sierra PropertiesWe have a choice of several spacious, luxury properties here. Most have spectacular views of the mountains from all major rooms, plus air conditioning, central heating & dedicated parking. All are within a couple of minutes' stroll from several lovely restaurants and an eccentric little Bodega where one can be assured of a warm welcome from the mustachioed landlord - who is something of a local celebrity!
