The Sierra Nevada

Posted on January 4, 2023 by MeRaw

Wednesday 4th January 

The Sierra Nevada 
Just east of Granada 
White stuff on the ground 
Snowboarders abound 
A mountainous hike 
Doing what we like 
A different day out 
A snowy walkabout 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum 
xxxxx

We seemed to walk for miles to reach the centre

Young and old, skiers and boarders, of all abilities, enjoying the snow

The sunny square was so busy…. Plaza de Pradollano

Chalets, condos and apartments built into the side of the mountain

Lots of sunny terraces to stop for something to eat

Snowy slopes

We took a chairlift back up the mountainside to the car

The chairlift saved our legs from walking up so many steps

Down there, somewhere, is where we had lunch

I thought for a minute you were in my neck of the woods. I grew up in the Sierra Nevadas on the California/Nevada border here in the US.

  Ahhh, we were in Andalusia.
  It has the highest point in Spain of 3479m above sea level.
  Really spectacular.

  Aha… It can be a bit daunting!
  I remember the one at Dromana, Vic. going up to Arthur’s Seat was always a bit dodgy 😅
