Today we want to tell you about one of the most spectacular moments to visit Sierra Nevada, and that is during its thaw. Perhaps the moment of the thaw is not well known by many, but it is perhaps the most endearing time to visit Sierra Nevada. With the arrival of spring, the mountain begins to take on a splendor and beauty that precedes summer and leaves behind the extreme cold.
Now, with the arrival of cool temperatures, water springs up everywhere in the mountains, small streams reappear where your hands freeze if you dip them in, waterfalls and rivulets, large meadows and green peaks with endemic flowers, and even the
life cycle of animals begins anew. A journey to life makes its way, and you, walking through the mountains, are also a protagonist.
Where to see the thaw of Sierra Nevada?
We are in Dílar, and thanks to the fact that we are within the Sierra Nevada National and Natural Park itself, starting from here towards the mountains or simply taking routes that start from our hotel is already a good starting point.
Dílar, our municipality, is located in the southern part of the Vega de Granada, at the foot of Sierra Nevada. From there we can go to the Loma de Dílar, on the left bank of the Monachil Valley, leaving to its right the impressive Dílar Valley, in whose highest area is the Laguna de las Yeguas Area.
Another essential place to go to see the thaw in all its grandeur is the area known as
Lavaderos de La Reina. It can be considered that this is one of the star routes of the thaw, which with its orography and its particular characteristics of the area formed in a cirque of glacial origin, manages to open to our eyes an unthinkable landscape in the latitudes of southern Spain, always more typical of the Nordic areas, however the laundries or waterfalls are a phenomenon that you will not be able to find anywhere else than in this magnificent Sierra in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, also on this route we can find lagoons, meadows and snowfields of great beauty.
