About Granada, Inland Andalucia

Venturing into the city of Granada itself, you will see how the area is dominated by the La Alhambra, the palace built by the Moors. It stands at the top of the Sabika Hill, the highest point in the city. A visit here may take the best part of a day, giving you plenty of time to take in the splendour of the architecture.

However Granada has plenty more to offer, the main shopping area can be found in the city centre, here you will find a mix of modern clothes shops along with shops selling traditional Granada crafts, such as pottery and inlaid wood. There is a good choice of café's and bars as well as restaurants.

Owner's Tips...

Casa Fernando restaurant
De Dulce Pattiserie
Sierra Nevada

If you are looking to stay in a typical Spanish village and enjoy the skiing during the day, and Spanish entertainment, bars and restaurants in the evening in Granada, this is the place for you.

If you are looking for a summer holiday and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, and like to retire to a typical Spanish village, then Monachil is ideally located.

I think you are unlikely to meet another English family here!

Monachil is made up of lots of little settlements within it. The above picture is the centre of the village, but there seems to be little clusters with a shops, restaurants and supermarkets. There are many restaurants, bars and shops all within 10 minutes walk. It is however very hilly here, so you cannot walk anywhere fast.

There is a bus that goes to Granada city every 1/2 hour during the week, and hourly at weekends. It costs 95 cents each way, and takes about 20 minutes as it goes through all the old villages on route. The bus stop is conveniently located 2 minutes walk from our apartment and takes you right into the centre of Granada.

You can also get a taxi, which costs between 8 and 10 euros and takes around 5 minutes.

There is a new theme park opened with a 26 lane ten pin bowling alley, and games area, as well as American, Mexican, Turkish, Spanish, Pizza and Italian Restaurants. This is just 10 minutes drive from the apartment.

About 2 minutes drive from our apartment there is a very large supermarket, it is actually in the next village called Cajar. It has everything from fresh bread, fresh fish and meet, and even baby supplies!

About Sierra Nevada Skiing

Pradollano (the name of the ski village) is a superb resort with facilities for all of the family. There are limited runs for the advanced skier, but plenty for beginners, children and intermediates. There is even a moving carpet, especially good for small children.

There is a host of good value restaurants here.

There are numerous shops where you can hire ski gear, as well as book pirvate lessons, as well as join ski school. There is also a children's creche where you can place children 6 months to 5 years.

There is a further large car park, which is about 10 minutes walk from the resort and is approx 5 euros to park all day.

There is a bus that goes to the resort from the main bus station in Granada.
