Other Activities -

Fishing: Normally trout fishing is allowed with a license obtainable in Trevelez. However, over the last 4 years the water level has been very low so check with the tourist office in the main square in Trevelez.

Skiing: December to April, the Sierra Nevada are the highest and most southern slopes of Europe and provide excellent skiing facilities. If you go from the cortijos to Sierra Nevada we recommend you allow 2 hours to get there. The availability of snow can be checked online. This is included in our links.

Public Transport:
Local Buses
Spain has excellent and cheap bus services. There are 3 buses a day from Trevelez passing the cortijos to Granada. They stop in every village so are fairly slow and it takes approximately 2 and a half hours to Granada. If you go to Motril you can change in Motril to reach different beaches. For more information ask at the kiosk in the main square in Trevelez for a timetable.

Taxis
Taxis are fairly easy to arrange. We currently cannot give you exact information on the taxi service around the area, but if you contact us we should be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information.
