Spain - December 03, 2025 Santiago Pontones, Andalusia, Spain – Fresh snowfall covered the winding mountain roads of this remote white village around 10:00 AM local time on December 3, 2025, turning the highland route into a rare winter scene. The video, filmed by Miguel Ángel Chapu, uses a steady vertical handheld wide-angle shot from roadside level, slowly panning upward and outward. The footage frames a classic high-elevation bend on the A-373 or a nearby access road, a narrow two-lane strip of asphalt clinging to a steep, terraced hillside. The guardrail and road edges are topped with 2–3 inches of soft, powdery snow from an overnight-to-morning dump. Santiago Pontones sits at over 1,100 meters in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park within Málaga province, a southern Mediterranean enclave where average December snowfall is usually under 1 inch. This week, climate whiplash from an early Arctic nor'easter spillover has pushed totals in the Sierras to 4–6 inches, has closed high passes and is delighting locals with a "fairy-tale" transformation.
