Hotels - Sierra Nevada Natural Park
The Sierra Nevada Natural Park is located on the border of Granada and Almeria provinces. In addition to the Ski Resort, for which this part of Andalucia is very well known, the park covers a huge area, fantastic for exploring and outdoor activities - hiking, cycling, mountain biking and birdwatching to just list a few of the many to be enjoyed here. Luckily, the park can be explored in both the winter and summer. Mount Mulhasen (the tallest mountain in Spain) stands in the middle of park, and is regularly climbed up during the summer season.
There aren´t many hotels located in the Sierra Nevada natural park itself, and they are all dotted around the wonderful, characteristic towns and villages that surround it. Some of these villages are actually located inside the natural park, whereas others are located just outside. From these hotels and guesthouses, it is easy to explore the park, as most offer a range of activities from the hotel itself. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels with swimming pools, to small lodges offering the most basic of accommodation.
