Ski:
Initially Spain may not conjure up an image of impressive snow covered mountain peaks catering for one of the world's most exclusive winter sports - skiing.
However, as Europe’s second most mountainous country (after Switzerland) it is perhaps less of a surprise to know that it's host to a ski resort a mere two hours drive from the resort -Sierra Nevada which literally means 'Snowy Mountain Range'.
With Spain having an average altitude of around 800 metres, (2,500 ft), above sea-level, it is little wonder that it holds a white wilderness during the winter months. On a clear day it's possible to see accross the Mediterranean to the mountains of Morocco.
Golf:
Ample fairways are combined with hard to approach greens and bunkers ready to complicate your game. All this in a wonderful open surrounding with wild flowers, olive trees and large lakes.
At Hacienda Riquelme you can't help but be seduced by the fantastic Nicklaus designed golf course.
The 18 holes thoughtfully combine every type of distance and challenge designed to constantly push you and to make use of all your resources and talent. The course has a practice area so that the less advanced players can perfect their swing and improve their game.
