The network of trails in the Sierra Nevada National Park attempts to capture the extraordinary variety of landscapes and ecosystems of the mountain massif.

Sierra Nevada is the only Spanish Mediterranean mountain that contains all the bioclimatic levels typical of this region, which gives it a great biodiversity in flora and fauna. The different routes proposed bring us closer to these unique areas.

The trails in the National Park, on the other hand, try to maintain the link between the people and their traditional activities in the mountains. It is a privilege to walk along one of these paths from the municipalities themselves, with their popular architecture perfectly integrated into the landscape, and to observe the ethnological richness of the agricultural uses: terraces, irrigation channels, threshing floors, farmhouses, etc., as we ascend the mountain.

We go out for some tapas
Meeting point: School
Meeting time: 20.30 h
Guide: Francisco
Price: each student pays his own consumption

A tapa is a type of appetizer which is served when you order a drink. Serving tapas to customers is a typical Spanish tradition preserved through the whole of Spain. In some cities, such as Granada, the tapas are free. They can vary from just a few peanuts or a small dish of olives, to almost a mini meal in itself. One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the Spanish culture, is to go out with your friends for tapas. You usually only stay in each tapas bar for one or two drinks, so that you can go to a series of different bars in one evening. In some tapas bars you can choose your tapa, whereas in others, there is a set list of tapas that you get according to the type which is being served.
