The Covatillas glacier circus is one of the natural wonders of Sierra Nevada, it bears the popular name of Lavaderos de la Reina because Queen Fabiola of Belgium used to frequent these mountain spots to feel the wild energy that flows from the bowels of the mountains . Everywhere there are springs that form streams, waterfalls, lagoons and high mountain pastures with sheep and peat bogs where it is easy to see snow stars, one of the botanical jewels of the Sierra Nevada National Park. In spring, during the melting season, the show is great.
