Who'd have thought it possible to have a ski resort slap bang on the south cost of Spain only a stones throw away from the warm beaches of the Medeterranian sea...? Well this is the reality of Sierra Nevada, probably Spain's premier snowboard resort, which lies on the mountain range of the south-east cost.

The resort is very freestyle orientated with a good snowpark featuring boxes, rails, and some large kickers. Aside from the park, the resort is littered with natural freestyle terrain such as windlips, gullies, etc. One of the best places to ride if the snow is good is La Laguna - this place is freestyle heaven! Just check it out and you'll see. There's plenty going on all season with comps and jams happening every month.

The nightlife is very lively, after dark the resort goes off! The most popular bars for snowboarders are the Chicle or the Sticky bar. The partying usually continues way into the morning.
Travel to Sierra Nevada is pretty easy - the closest airport is Granada, only 20 minutes away. Buses run daily to the resort.

The best way to experience this area is to get up early and snowboard in the morning, then head to the beach for the afternoon! Nothing beats it.
