A tip from those of us who travel around the Sierra
: Take advantage of the last days of snow in Sierra Nevada and enjoy spring in Granada! March has given us a late winter, with spectacular snowfalls and some rain that has left the snow in the Sierra Nevada at its perfect peak. Now, with the sun shining brighter, the snow is softer, ideal for enjoying skiing without fear of injury and without the intense cold of the harsher months. If you enjoy gliding down the mountains in comfort, this is your time.
Skiing in Sierra Nevada in March: less cold, better snow At this point in the season, the slopes are quieter and the snow has that perfect texture for skiers of all levels. It's no longer hard like it is in the middle of winter, so it's much easier to handle and allows for smoother, safer skiing. Plus, with fewer people on the slopes, you won't have to wait in long lines or worry about crowds.
And best of all: at the end of the day, you can sit on a terrace overlooking the mountains and feel the warmth of the sun while you sip a drink. It's that perfect blend of winter and spring that only happens a few weeks a year.
The thaw: when Sierra Nevada and Granada are dressed in magic
With the warmth of the sun, the snow slowly begins to melt, and the rivers and streams that run through the mountains come alive. It's a spectacle to see the water flowing crystal-clear, reflecting the light, while the peaks remain white and the valleys begin to fill with green. It's a unique moment in nature, and if you enjoy hiking, the trails at this time are truly wonderful.
From the snow to the streets of Granada in one day
If you're looking for a change of scenery after a few hours of skiing, Granada awaits you with its sun-drenched streets and lively terraces. You can stroll through the Albaicín to the sound of the fountains, or climb to the Mirador de San Nicolás to see the Alhambra with the snow-capped mountains behind you.
And, of course, you can't leave without enjoying some good tapas. In March, with the days getting longer, the atmosphere in the bars and squares is delightful. Try some broad beans with ham, a good Granada-style remojón, or simply order a caña (beer) and let them surprise you with the tapa of the day.
