Hi everyone! Pia here, and I’m so excited to introduce you to a project that’s incredibly close to my heart—Factor 50 in the Snow! As many of you know, I’m all about celebrating the incredible lifestyle here on the Costa del Sol, and our winter season is no exception. But this year, I wanted to add a new twist—a chance to explore the magic of winter in a way that feels fresh, exciting, and maybe a little unexpected. Enter Factor 50 in the Snow, a brand-new podcast series launching this January!
Through Factor 50 in the Snow, I’ll be taking you on an audio journey up to the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. Just a short trip from the sunny beaches of Costa del Sol, Sierra Nevada offers a unique winter escape with everything from incredible skiing and snowboarding trails to cozy mountain hideaways where you can enjoy a warm drink after a day in the snow. If you’ve ever wondered what a day in the Spanish mountains looks like, this series is here to transport you there!
At its heart, Factor 50 in the Snow is a celebration of winter adventure, local culture, and all the little details that make Sierra Nevada special. Imagine getting real-time updates on snow conditions, discovering the best beginner and advanced ski trails, or even learning about hidden spots for a cozy après-ski. Each episode will be packed with tips, insider recommendations, and guest interviews with the people who know Sierra Nevada best—local guides, business owners, and mountain enthusiasts who live and breathe winter in this unique part of Spain.
One of the things that excites me most about this series is the chance to share my own love for the mountains with all of you. There’s something incredibly peaceful about a winter day in Sierra Nevada, with fresh snow crunching underfoot, the mountain air, and the sense of calm that comes from being surrounded by nature. I want to bring that experience to you, whether you’re tuning in from the beach, your car, or your cozy sofa at home.
You might be wondering why I’m focusing on winter, given that Costa del Sol is famous for its sunny beaches and warm weather all year round. But that’s exactly what makes our region so special! Here, we can enjoy the best of both worlds. In a single day, you can go from the sandy shores of Malaga to the snowy peaks of Sierra Nevada. This contrast is something I’ve always loved, and it’s a unique side of the Costa del Sol lifestyle that I think deserves to be celebrated.
I’ve had so many people tell me they’d love to experience the mountains but don’t know where to start, especially if they’re new to skiing or snowboarding. Factor 50 in the Snow is for everyone—from seasoned winter sports enthusiasts to those who just want to take in the mountain views, sip a hot chocolate by a cozy fire, and enjoy the winter charm. This series is designed to make you feel part of the adventure, no matter where you are.
When Factor 50 in the Snow launches in January, you’ll get a front-row seat to the best winter experiences Sierra Nevada has to offer. Here’s a little preview of what you can expect:
