This season, Baqueira-Beret opened on November 30, 2013 and is projected to close on April 06, 2014, depending on the season's snowfall. For exact dates, check their website.
If you don't want to stay right in Baqueira-Beret or if you find that area a bit too expensive or crowded for your taste, there are a few small villages around this ski area that you can stay at instead - Arties and Viehla.
A post-skiing tradition in Spain is to get tapas at a local bar where you pick your own tapas from a smorgasbord of offerings and then pay for each item you eat. Hotspots are the renowned Urtau Tapas Bar. My favorite tapas has to be this: Gulas - baby eels that taste like fish noodles! We also had some Après-ski at Dry Snow one of the world's top 50 cocktail bars located within the very trendy boutique hotel, Parador de Arties.
Paradores is a Spanish government-owned luxury boutique hotel chain that blends modern facilities with traditional regional touches in their decor and architecture and the cuisine available on their dining menu.
