Title: Information about the road conditions due to bad weather.
Post by: Steven Wellington on January 22, 2020, 01:57:47 AM

The best website for checking up on road conditions is this one.

Very occasionally if a large amount of snow has been forecast the Puerta de la Mora becomes impassable.
There are snow ploughs and it is never blocked for long.
The Puerta de la Mora is a mountain pass at an altitude of 1300 metres on the A92 about 30KM from Granada.
It only affects traffic coming from the east from Valencia, Almeria, Murcia etc. 

The only place where you could get  problems due to snow is in the Alpujarra and the Sierra Nevada.
The best thing to do if you want to drive up to the Sierra Nevada is to look through the live web cams

Here is a link.

The best cam to see the road conditions is the one at the bottom which says
A395- PK 31 CRUCE ACCESO URBANIZACIÓN

If you are going to the Alpujarra you should look at the link at the  start of the page.
