Driving

Forest Route or Camino Forestal by car

The heavy rain during the winter of 2010 has washed several bridges on this road and currently not possible to drive all the way from Trevelez to Capilierra, however you can drive to the waterfalls by going to Portugos and then drive up. When you get to a T junction right up then left will take you to Capillierra and right to the water falls.

There are regional maps in the cortijos. Do please use them.

A visit to O Sel Ling Buddhist Centre

This is another lovely drive and well worth a visit – for more information see O Sel Ling Buddhist Centre.

Horse Riding

The area is famous for horse riding and pony trekking. There are various people who do excursions. Please go to our links page for more information.

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

The Sierra Nevada ski resort is the most southerly ski resort in Europe and consequently has a lot of sunshine. Sierra Nevada literally means “Snowy Mountain Range” and includes some of the highest peaks in Europe with Mulhacen the highest at 3,482m. It has the best snow and the longest season in the whole of Spain with normally 5 months of snow from December to the end of April. The resort has 61km of ski slopes and is open from 9am to 5 pm daily. However, if you are thinking of going you should always check snow levels first. (You can check this on our link page). You can hire all the equipment there. It takes an hour and a half to get there from the cortijos and you take the same turn off as the Alhambra, signposted clearly for Sierra Nevada. This turn off from the motorway is just before Granada.
