Skisportssteder i Spain
Spanish skiing is a genuine surprise. Baqueira Beret in the Val d'Aran is a full sized Pyrenean resort with over 160 km of piste and the country's most reliable snow, while Sierra Nevada in Andalusia is the highest resort in Western Europe outside the Alps and skis into May with the Mediterranean visible from the summit. Prices sit well below the Alps and the atmosphere is late, loud and long lunched.
