Less than an hour's drive from Almeria at the blue Mediterranean Sea the white mountains of the Sierra Nevada can be seen.

The crescent stands over the Sierra Nevada. Seen from the hotel in Granada. We had booked a hotel neighbouring the Alhambra to be the very first tourists at the ticket booth next day.

The Sierra Nevada contains the Mulhacén, named after Abu l-Hasan Ali, once the Sultan of near Granada. This is highest mountain in western Europe outside the Alps - 3478m. The mountain range is a tourist destination, as the peaks make skiing possible in one of Europe's most southerly ski resorts.
