Places Of Interest In Spain - The Sierra Nevada

There is a paradise on earth and that is Spain

. With these words it does not need further explanation to say how beautiful the place is. Nature is spread in all her colors and glory throughout Spain. Stunningly beautiful beaches, mountains, aesthetically beautiful buildings, rich vegetation and what not; it is something unimaginable. A tourist finds it difficult to plan his itinerary in Spain. This is because every place is beautiful and he finds it very difficult to make a choice of the place.

Sierra Nevada:

Now let us make a choice to go round the mountain range Sierra Nevada. Normally when we speak of a mountain range, the first place which comes to our memory is the Sierra Nevada. This mountain range runs from east to west and has some of the tallest peaks of Europe. Sierra Nevada is actually located to the South of Granada and is at a distance of about 40 kms from the nearest Coast.

Most beautiful place:

Rich in rarest species of Fauna, Sierra Nevada has some wonderful rock formations along the track of the mountain. It is needless to mention how beautiful nature would look when viewed from the top of the mountain. But the mountain can be accessed only up to a height of about 11000 feet. There are good roads and coach service is also available to reach up to this height.

A good news for the tourists; en route to the mountain enough villas and resorts are available at various points. So the tourists can make it a holiday home. Many sports like cycling, mountain trekking, winter sports, etc. are available. These resorts are available at Pico de Veleta, Borrequiles and Pradollano. Tourists can also visit some of the villages surrounding Alpujarra.

The small town Jaen in this mountain range is proud of priceless buildings like Santa Catalina castle, provincial museum, cathedral, Moorish bath and some of the aristocratic homes. These are places which every visitor will visit and admire while touring the Sierra Nevada. Some of these houses belong to the Renaissance period.

As we descend the mountain, we are on the plain and we are not far from the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Water sports are available for people of all ages. The beach is perfectly maintained. Children have separate area for playing. Along the beach there are many villas which offer comfortable stay at most moderate rentals. Sierra Nevada is well connected by road.
