The
Sierra Nevada (meaning "snowy mountain range" in
Spanish) is a
mountain range in the region of
Andalucia, in the province of
Granada and, a little further,
Málaga and
Almería in
Spain. It contains the highest point of continental Spain and Europe
[note 1] outside the
Caucasus Mountains and the
Alps,
Mulhacén at 3,478 metres (11,411 ft)
above sea level.
It is a popular
tourist destination, as its high peaks make
skiing possible in one of Europe's most southerly
ski resorts, in an area along the
Mediterranean Sea predominantly known for its warm temperatures and abundant sunshine. At its foothills is found the city of
Granada and, a little further,
Almería and
Málaga.
Parts of the range have been included in the
Sierra Nevada National Park. The range has also been declared a
biosphere reserve. The
Sierra Nevada Observatory and the
IRAM radiotelescope are located on the northern slopes at an
elevation of 2,800 metres (9,200 ft).
