ABOUT MONACHIL...
If you are looking to stay in a typical Spanish village and enjoy the skiing during the day, and Spanish entertainment, bars and restaurants in the evening in Granada, this is the place for you.
If you are looking for a summer holiday and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, and like to retire to a typical Spanish village, then Monachil is ideally located.
I think you are unlikely to meet another English family here!
Monachil is made up of lots of little settlements within it. The above picture is the centre of the village, but there seems to be little clusters with a shops, restaurants and supermarkets. There are many restaurants, bars and shops all within 10 minutes walk. It is however very hilly here, so you cannot walk anywhere fast.
There is a bus that goes to Granada city every 1/2 hour during the week, and hourly at weekends. It costs 95 cents each way, and takes about 20 minutes as it goes through all the old villages on route. The bus stop is conveniently located 2 minutes walk from our apartment and takes you right into the centre of Granada.
You can also get a taxi, which costs between 8 and 10 euros and takes around 5 minutes.
There is a new theme park opened with a 26 lane ten pin bowling alley, and games area, as well as American, Mexican, Turkish, Spanish, Pizza and Italian Restaurants. This is just 10 minutes drive from the apartment.
About 2 minutes drive from our apartment there is a very large supermarket, it is actually in the next village called Cajar. It has everything from fresh bread, fresh fish and meet, and even baby supplies!
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.
There are numerous shops where you can hire ski gear, as well as book pirvate lessons, as well as join ski school. There is also a children's creche where you can place children 6 months to 5 years.
Most people drive to the resort, where there is two large car parks. The first is underground the mountains, so you take the lift up to the middle of the resort from here. This is approx 15 euros per day.
There is a further large car park, which is about 10 minutes walk from the resort and is approx 5 euros to park all day.
There is a bus that goes to the resort from the main bus station in Granada.
Highest ski stations is 3300m
87km of ski runs
24 ski lifts (including 2 gondolas and 16 chair lifts
Over 400 snow cannons
Ice Rink

Dear Linda,
We had a wonderful time in the Granada area and truly enjoyed the use of the apartment. We viewed sites and otherwise experienced the city on two of our days there. One day we went up to the Alpujarra region, on another we visited the coast and swam in the Mediterranean, and on our last day we climbed Pico Valeta. After those more distant excursions it was especially nice to return to the comfort of the apartment and prepare a meal there.
I hope conditions were found to be satisfactory in the apartment after we left. I trust you will let us know if it is believed we caused a problem. The only little thing we found not working there was the latch on the bathroom door, which was stuck. It was a bit hot there at times, and a small fan would have been helpful. Other than that, my family found the place quite charming and admired the layout, construction, and the clever use of space. We loved looking out from the top of the stairs at night. We thought the fresh produce and the breads that we could buy in the community were of great quality.
So the Monachil apartment definitely played a role in a trip that has been a privilege and a fine experience for our family. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hammond
