Hi, there are always offers on groupon.es for accommodation and ski hire...thats all I know!!!

Have been a couple of times . I normally stay at the melia hotel in the town but I know that is quite xpensive but great hotel.
The cable car ride is long ( and can sway a bit) it is also rammed in the mornings. If you have children when approaching stay on the left side as they allow children and adults to go in a separate queue to get on first.

Many good small restraunts some do fondu. One bar gave a tapa with every drink order and this was enough for me and my wife.

Great atmosphere, could just as well be in Austria or France as buildings seem the same.

Good open air ice rink and very cheap as well.

We went to British ski hire ( they have a web site and you can book lessons and ski hire on line) they also give details of ski passes which are quite pricey.
If driving there you may need snow chains. I was lucky both times but on a bad snowfall day you can be turned away if you do not have them. You can buy them from garages on the motorway close to Granada.

Have a great time and I would recommend the melia hotel in the town for the extra money. It is right in town so no traveling to and from and a great pool looking out onto ski slopes.

Neil

We are quite keen on a trip to the Sierra Nevada from MCC in early April.  The Groupon sounds interesting, I had no idea they were also available in Spain.  Just browsing, they have some good deals on all kinds of things as well as ski hire.  How does that work, can you pay using a UK card or does it need to be from my Spanish account?

Hi there, I went to Granada recently and stayed in a village called Monachill. It is located half way between Granada and Pradollano and it turned out to be a convenient location to Sierra Nevada resort.... and quite inexpensive as well (about 45 euros/night in the Huerta del Laurel hotel). There is an alternative mountain road that you can take from Monachill that connects at a certain point to the main Granada-Pradollano highway. In Pradollano there is an underground parking lot (max 16 euros/day) which is very handy. Ski rentals are widely available and I managed to get a 2x1 promotion in one of the shops. I recommend you go to the resort on weekdays only, cause it is said to be extremely busy on weekends (packed with posh Andaluzian folks). Take care!
