Sierra Nevada


Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in mainland Spain and Western Europe outside the Alps. Easily accessible from Granada and Malaga, it is a world of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys, far removed from the crowded beaches of the Costa del Sol just two hours away. Routes extend throughout the national park, with attractive villages and towns such as Trevélez, Lanjarón, Hoya de la Mora and Cumbres Verdes as possible bases for a walking holiday. In the Sierra Nevada we can visit the highest point in mainland Spain, the Mulhacén, or walk through villages such as Trevélez, Lanjarón and Capileira. It includes traverses along the main ridge, high mountain climbs and the challenge of the "Three Peaks" of the sierra.


When to go?

The routes are mainly undertaken in summer; in winter we must bear in mind that, depending on the altitude, we may encounter wintry conditions. In the summer months, the temperature can be a problem, and we have to take into account the location of the springs.
