Heavy snow has been reported in a number of areas popular for skiing in Spain, which could interest those planning a winter Spanish property break some time this month.

According to Fast Track Ski, ski resorts Baqueira Beret and Formigal have both been hit by large amounts of snow over the past two days.

Following the news, both resorts announced they would be opening their doors to holidaymakers soon, despite official opening dates being some three weeks away.

Those with Spanish property in either area could therefore find it the ideal time to get flights to the country and take their winter skiing holiday now, before the rush of tourists which may be seen later this month.

Commercial manager for the Formigal resort Jose Luis del Valle said: "This is great news, we should be able to open very soon. And with our great offers like free ski hire and free lift passes for kids, a holiday to Formigal won’t break the bank," reported the source.

According to the J2Ski report, Formigal is due to get more snow this Friday (November 13th).
