Little known mountain ranges in Spain
We all know about the Sierra Nevada, Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees.
But have you discovered a local mountain range that is worth exploring?

Sagra. Mountain to the north of Huescar, Granada province. Restaurant and hotel near the top. Also has some Redwood trees which are, apparently, the only Redwoods in Spain.

Re: Little known mountain ranges in Spain
When I collect visitors from Almeria airport,I take the A92 road(Granada motorway)back from the airport,turning off way past the Mini Hollywood theme park,onto the Seron/Las Menas road. It takes you over the Los Filabres Mountains,and it is just like Austria.
Steep,winding and twisty roads,no traffic(on a 50 minute trip I counted one car),beautiful scenery,pine trees,barbque areas,viewing points. And when you get to the top of the mountains,before the long trip down the other side,you stop and look down on the mountains and the clouds below you....and of course there is the ghostly mining village of Las Menas on the way. All in all a brilliant way for your visitors to begin their stay in Spain.
