Malaga and the Costa del Sol are facing a weather change this week. The hot Terral wind is on its way, bringing strong gusts along the coast. The Spanish weather service, Aemet, plans to issue a yellow warning for coastal conditions. Winds will reach speeds between 50 and 60 km/h, and waves could rise up to 3 meters on Tuesday. This means tougher conditions near the shore.

Sierra Nevada skiresort in Spain
Skiing in southern Spain? Yes, it's possible. Sierra Nevada skiresort combines high peaks with endless sunshine. It’s the highest ski area in Spain and the southernmost in Europe. That means long seasons, great weather, and snow you can count on.
Sunshine and snow in one place
Sierra Nevada has peaks over 3,300 meters. That altitude guarantees solid snow, even when you're skiing in just a hoodie. The season often runs from November to May. Sometimes even into June.
You can ski all morning and enjoy tapas by the Mediterranean in the afternoon. That contrast makes Sierra Nevada perfect for people who want more than just snow.

Slopes for every skill level

Need gear? No problem. You can rent everything right on site, quick and easy.
When to go
For the best snow and sunshine combo, aim for January to March. The snow is fresh, and the skies are usually blue. Want fewer crowds? Try skiing in March or April. That’s when the sun feels warmer, and the lines get shorter.
May and June are great for hiking and biking. The lower slopes turn green while the peaks stay white. October is too early to ski, but perfect for a weekend getaway in the fresh mountain air.
Snow you can count on
Worried about the weather? You don’t have to be. Even in dry winters, snow machines keep the slopes in top shape. Real-time snow reports help you plan your visit like a pro.
