Hi
The summer before last I drove to the Sierra Nevada, specifically Trevelez for a walking holiday. It took about 7 hours but at least 3 of that was on the very narrow and steep roads once you have left the motorway.  We took a direct route and turned off the motorway before reaching Almeria going past the cowboy/indian film set in the desert.  Comming back we headed straight for the motorwy comming from Granada and then followed the motorway all the way back.  This was a much easier drive and quicker, about 5 hours.  This was in a small Chev, not a very powerful car.  Walking was not a success as in summer it was still 40 degrees at 3000m!!  I can PM you the exact route if I look at a map again?  Hope all is well in Hurchillo, we will be back out at Easter.

Hi Geoff & Hilary
 Many thanks for the info. We will be over for a couple of weeks around Christmas and thought it might be nice to see the snow etc. Don't think the kids would let me drive for 5 hours though. Have until christmas to try and convince them all it will be worht it or if not maybe just go on my own.

Thanks again
