The King travelled to Granada’s ski resort accompanied by his security team and a group of friends.

Felipe arrived on Saturday on a private visit, and was spotted wearing dark sunglasses having a drink on the terrace of the Lodge hotel. He then spent Sunday skiing with some friends in the Sierra Nevada resort, which has now opened Loma de Dilar and other ski lifts reaching 47 skiable kilometres, before stopping for lunch at the Alcazaba restaurant in Borreguiles (pictured). His timing was good - last Wednesday a 15cm snowfall forced the closure of the resort but it had reopened in time for the King’s visit with conditions described as perfect.
