Here is a 3-day plan to enjoy both without rushing, ideal if you are looking for winter plans in Andalusia.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"por-que-combinarlos\">Why combine Granada and Sierra Nevada<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few destinations let you ski in the morning, have lunch with views of the peaks and stroll through a historic city as evening falls. The closeness between Granada and Sierra Nevada makes it possible, which is why more and more travellers build their getaway around both.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan-3-dias\">3-day plan<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sn-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Day<\/th><th>Plan<\/th><th>What the day is for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Day<\/span>Day 1<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Plan<\/span>Granada: the Alhambra, the Albaic\u00edn and a walk around the centre.<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">What the day is for<\/span>City and monuments; book your Alhambra ticket in advance.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Day<\/span>Day 2<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Plan<\/span>Sierra Nevada: skiing, snowboarding or plans without skiing.<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">What the day is for<\/span>Snow; head up with time to spare and check the road.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Day<\/span>Day 3<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">Plan<\/span>A second day of snow with the 2-day pass, or more Granada.<\/td><td><span class=\"sn-lbl\">What the day is for<\/span>Repeat whatever you enjoyed most.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3-day plan between Granada and Sierra Nevada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dia-1-granada\">Day 1: Granada<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dedicate the first day to the city. The <strong>Alhambra<\/strong> is the essential visit and needs time: its Nasrid Palaces operate with timed entry, which tends to sell out, so it is best to book weeks in advance. In the afternoon, climb up to the <strong>Albaic\u00edn<\/strong> and stroll its streets, with views of the Alhambra, and head down towards the centre for dinner.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dia-2-sierra-nevada\">Day 2: Sierra Nevada<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Granada about 40 minutes away, the second day is for the mountain. If you ski or snowboard, arrive early to make the most of the slopes; if it is your first time, book a lesson at our <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/school\/\">school<\/a>. And if you do not ski, there are sleds, slides, an ice rink and snowmobile rides: you will find it all in <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/noticias\/things-to-do-sierra-nevada-winter\/\">what to do in Sierra Nevada in winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list sn-steps\"><li><strong>Book ski pass and equipment<\/strong> Choose your pass on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/forfaits-sierra-nevada\/\">ski pass page<\/a> and rent the equipment at <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/equipment\/\">equipment rental<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Head up with time to spare<\/strong> See <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/noticias\/snow-chains-road-sierra-nevada\/\">road and chains<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/noticias\/where-to-park-sierra-nevada\/\">where to park<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Dinner in Pradollano<\/strong> If you fancy something special, <a href=\"https:\/\/sierranevadagranada.com\/en\/noticias\/mesit-sierra-nevada-igloos-pizza\/\">an igloo at Mesit<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dia-3\">Day 3: more snow or more Granada<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the <strong>2-day pass<\/strong> you can repeat runs without choosing a ski pass again: it is the way to get the most out of the snow. If you prefer a different pace, spend the third day continuing to discover Granada or on a relaxed plan at the resort. And if you come with children, Mirlo Blanco and the children&#8217;s rides are good for half a day.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"consejos\">Tips for organising it<\/h2>\n<figure
