The Best Places to Stay in the Sierra Nevada National Park

La Almunia del Valle

The foothills of the Sierra Nevada National Park are sprinkled with charming little villages and hamlets, but the higher elevations are dramatic, snowcapped and a bit wild, craggy and exciting. During summer this is a fantastic place for a hiking or trekking adventure, what with having the highest peak on mainland Spain, but in winter the weather can be almost as dramatic as the terrain, so it’s better to stick to the foothills, or else the ski resorts. Our pick of the best places to stay in Sierra Nevada National Park are ideal whatever the season. Our Guru’s recommendations include a couple of properties within the boundaries of the park, but we'd advise anyone who wants to day trip to stay in Granada. There’s a good price range in their recommendations too, but what they do all have in common are their amazing views! Use our guide to the best places to stay in the Sierra Nevada National Park and start to plan your stay. But remember that in peak season (both summer and winter) they will be very busy, so do your homework and book well ahead.
