From Granada you can explore some spectacular mountain scenery
by Fiona Flores Watson
From Granada airport, you can explore some spectacular mountain scenery nearby: choose from the Sierra Nevada, in winter Europe's southernmost ski resort, and in summer an excellent hiking destination; or the Alpujarras, unspoilt mountains with tiny, remote villages which haven't changed in centuries; the roads are narrow and tortuously windy - not for those in a hurry! This part of Andalucia offers many yoga retreats and alternative communities; it is also a haven for nature-lovers.
