| Apartment for rent in Granada, Sierra Nevada, Andalucia, Pradollano, Spain The little street | Double Bedroom | Lounge | Skiing | Our apartment is nestled amoungst the mountains of the typical Spanish village of Monachil. You are unlikely to find another English family here! Skiing is just 35 minutes drive to the ski lift at Pradollano, and the centre of Granada is just 5 miles away on the bus route (bus stop is 2 minutes walk).
Weather you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Granada, visit the many historic monuments, sample the many tapas bars and fiestas, or ski during the day, and then retire to something a little more tranquil, our apartment is perfectly located.
There is a fantastic supermarket 15/20 minutes walk, selling a wealth of fresh bread, pastries, fish, meat and a huge selection of wines. There is also banks, restuarants and various shops all within 10 minutes walk.
However, there are more tapas bars and restaurants than you can imagine just a short taxi drive or bus ride away in the centre of Granada. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle, Monachil is a very scenic village for walking in the evening.
Our apartment is a very typical Spanish apartment. It has traditional terrocota tiles, high ceilings, and a rear communal courtyard. It is very tastefully furnished, sleeping 6 persons and includes all linen, towels, and even the hair dryer!
Parking is on the road outside or one of the neighbouring streets. There is no allocated parking, but we have never had any problems finding a space.
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.

Skiing for Children
If you have children between 4 months and 8 years, this is a fantastic resort for them. There is the new Dream Land, which I describe as minature disneyland in the snow. You can place your children here from 10-4 or for 1/2 days. They can play on skis, tobaggans, play in the snow, or play in side with dressed up characters. We do not know what it is like, but our children are going here in March 2006. Dream Land is just outside the gondola, so you will need to buy a lift pass and hire skis and boots for your children. It is great value for money, and costs around the same price as putting your child in nursery for the week in the UK.
It is 5 miles from all the city attractions in Granada.
