SIERRA de las Nieves is living up to its name thanks to the passing of snow yesterday.
Nature lovers have shared magical images and videos online as the mountains behind Malaga have become frosty-tipped.
Heavy snow since yesterday morning has layered the Sierra de las Nieves National Park and the surrounding area.
Torcal de Antequera, a popular tourist destination, experienced the snowfall, which made for spectacular scenes.
The visitor centre at the site took advantage of the conditions online.
“If you like the magic of nature in its purest form, this is the perfect time to visit. Don’t miss it!,” wrote @TorcalAntequera.
The snow-capped mountains are visible from Malaga airport, and will no doubt surprise tourists coming for a sun-kissed holiday.
Further to the west, Sierra Bermeja, behind Estepona, has also witnessed significant snowfall, offering more Winter Wonderland scenes.
