Avalanche in Sierra Nevada hits group of 6, 1 injured.
A group of seven people have been caught by a snow avalanche today in the Sierra Nevada. The avalanche swept away the whole group, although only one of them was half buried by snow. They were doing a winter walk in the area of the Tajos de la Virgin close to the Laguna de las Yeguas, head of the Rio Dílar. She was only injured at it was not life threatening. She was transferred by helicopter to a hospital in Granada.

It may be April but the dangers are still there. Maybe more snow in the next few days
