Sport Fishing |
The province has 64 fishing reserves within the Nature Parks of Cazorla, Segura, Las Villas and Sierra Nevada that harbor mainly trout, pike and black bass. As an avid fisherman, I’ve tried my luck in a number of these dams and rivers and found that, by and large, the fishing here pales in comparison to the north. But, there is one exception and that is the trout-happy waters of the RĂo FrĂo in the foothills of the Sierra de Loja, midway between Granada city and Málaga.

Ski Resort |
Two 8.6-km (5.4-mile) cross-country trails are in Puerto de la Ragua near the ski resort in the Sierra Nevada. Skis as well as sleigh and dogsled tours (starting at 15 Euro) are available through Aventura Polar en el Sur, S.L. Most of the dog-sledding and horse-drawn carriage trips depart from Borreguiles. There is also an ice-skating rink at Pradollano. Trails are numerous for snowmobiles, which can be rented at the Sol y Nieve ski resort. Non-skiers can also opt for the telecabina (7 Euro) that departs from Pradollano and culminates at Borreguiles.
