Watch as skiers take to orange snow in Andalucía's Sierra Nevada

This was the unreal scene in the Sierra Nevada ski resort, near Granada, in the south of Spain this Tuesday morning, 15 March, when the snow turned a dark shade of orange.

The calima weather phenomenon, that carried Saharan sand with it, was responsible for that dramatic colour change of the normally pristine snow in the Andalusian ski resort.

Many other areas in the south of Spain have been affected by the orange dust, which fell as ‘mud’ in areas where it mixed with rain.
