Sierra de las Nieves National Park: Costa del Sol
In addition to its beaches, the Costa del Sol offers other year-round options.
The Sierra de las Nieves National Park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of almost 50,000 acres in size.
It offers travellers remote landscapes, wildlife spotting and is the only place in Costa del Sol to receives snowfall in the winter.
The park has its name because, in winter, the white of the snow usually dyes the highest peaks, serving as an ice reserve for the rest of Andalucia for the whole season.
