The tragic freak death of an experienced, much loved 58 year old mountain guide from Granada, has demonstrated the unprecedented perils of this winter season in Spain’s Sierra Nevada. Heavy rain and gale force winds have brought a series of blizzard conditions to the high mountains since mid-December. What are the dangers and how do we deal with them?

Snowboarder gets stuck overnight on chairlift and burns his money to attract attention
A German snowboarder had to literally burn the money in his pocket, because he had fallen on a chair lift that had stopped leaving him high and dry. He did not have a mobile phone to call for help. The height of the chair was considerable and he feared he would break his legs if he jumped. It is estimated that he burned about 110 euros.

Our new Lanjaron webcam is up and running
Our webcam overlooking the town of Lanjaron in the Alpujarras has been upgraded after a successful 3 year stint. We decided the time has come for a replacement and we invested in a Y-Cam White housed in it’s own weatherproof shell. The new camera is an improvement in quality over the old one and gives a much wider angled view. It has been repositioned, as a tree has started to impose itself on the old one and the plastic bucket that acted as a rain housing has started to crack!
