Semana Blanca - The White Week

Semana Blanca, which literally means white week, refers to the week after the Día de Andalucía, Andalusian Day, on the 28th of February.

Only children from Málaga get this holiday, specifically thought to give the chance to Málaga students to go skiing on the snow in Sierra Nevada (Granada).

Snow is quite typical in Spanish winters, however, not in all places. Sunny Spain don't see much of it and that's why we have to move to different places. Sierra Nevada, which is one of the best places in Europe to practice skiing or snowboarding, is not very far from Costa del Sol. In less than two hours you can change from sunbathing to skiing are there aren't many places in the world that can offer you that, are they?
