Sierra Nevada

SIERRA NEVADA

The Sierra Nevada is a dramatic, rugged and extensive mountain range, the highest in Europe after the Alps and the most significant section of the Cordillera Penibética. The area encompasses snowy summits, torrential rivers, sheer-sided gorges, stony scree slopes and glacial lakes. Also featuring, cultivated terraces of almond trees and vegetables. Popular activities in the parks include skiing, hiking, mountain biking and summer camps. One can simply travel and discover its fauna and flora, see its lagoons and have an adventure in this vast area of land. 

On some days you can watch strange formed clouds above the Sierra Nevada. The nicest and most spectacular are the Lenticular clouds. Although lenticular clouds may look like they’re from outer space, they’re actually just the result of normal earthly scientific processes. Under certain conditions, long strings of lenticular clouds can form, creating a formation known as a wave cloud. When it is formed, it can seem to hover for hours. Especially with sunset this can result in spectacular views.
