The Sierra Nevada mountains are approximately 1 hour away from home by car. Sierra Nevada means 'snowy mountain chain' in Spanish. These mountains, which are the highest mountain range in Europe after the Alps, with a total of 16 mountain peaks with an altitude of 3000 meters, were formed 6 million years ago due to tectonic movements. You can ski here between December and March. Then the snow melts and the flowers bloom. From May to October, the Sierra Nevada is ideal for hiking due to its mild climate. A large part of the Sierra Nevada is a national park, where you can see a wide variety of plants and different animals.
