About Güejar Sierra:

 Nestled just to the East of Granada in the heart of the Sierra Nevada National Park - the pretty little town of Güejar Sierra, with its cobbled streets and flower draped balconies is a hitherto undiscovered gem -
a well kept Spanish secret.

Panoramic Views of Sierra Nevada

Güejar Sierra is perched in a dramatic position with panoramic views of the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains just at the point where they dip their toes into the beautiful Canales reservoir. Güejar has many bars and restaurants - both within the town itself and in the surrounding area. Many of the restaurants have summer terraces where you can eat and enjoy breathtaking views at the same time and many also have summer pools. At nearby Maitena, you can also swim in a mountain pool or, if you prefer the beach, the Costa Tropical is still only 45 minutes away

The Alhambra Palace and Granada

The Alhambra Palace and Granada can be reached from here within about 15 minutes (a spectacular drive) and our mountain apartments in Güejar are also ideally placed for the ski resort (about 25 minutes to the ski lifts). While skiing is great in the Sierra Nevada and the views of Africa from the top are spectacular, the resort itself was built relatively recently. Staying in Güejar offers the unique opportunity to sample the diverse skiiing of the Sierra Nevada while at the same time enjoying the experience of living in a traditional Spanish village.

Güejar for Outdoor Adventure

Güejar is also a great centre for mountain sports, family and adventure activities. This is an ideal base for mountain biking, walks of all levels, ice/rock climbing, canoeing, rafting, paragliding, horse-riding etc. The campsite complex close by offers yet another restaurant with dramatic views, plus a pool, play area, archery and other activities for children. There are also waterparks in Granada and Almunecar.

Our Güejar Sierra Properties

We have a choice of two spacious, luxury properties here within the El Ladero (Redoubt) mountain apartments. Both have spectacular views of the mountains from all major rooms, plus air conditioning, central heating & dedicated parking. Both are also within a couple of minutes stroll of several lovely restaurants and an eccentric little Bodega where one can be assured of a warm welcome from the moustachioed landlord - who is something of a local celebrity!
