    Hiking

    After a long walk, we reached the destination point: the summit of Mulhacén (3479 meters), the highest peak of the Iberian Peninsula. They say that if the day is very clear, you can see even the mountains of Africa. We were not lucky that day, but what we did see were the impressive peaks that are hidden in the Sierra Nevada.

    Hiking

    Take the short and direct way from Refugio de la Caldera. Good to go.

    Hiking

    The long hike from Trevelez village to Mulhacen via the Siete Lagunas is a classic, winter or summer. Click on the link for route information: komoot.com/tour/275614240
    Be careful on this mountain in winter or summer. It is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. The weather can change rapidly. I was caught in a freak winter storm here in 2006 and benighted, we (three of us) just about survived. Three English guys were not as lucky as us that night. Treat this mountain with respect and take appropriate high altitude/weather related precautions.
