    The name "El Veleta" actually comes from the Arabic "al Balata" which meant cut or precipice, alluding to the walls that this peak has. This characteristic shape generates an almost permanent shadow on its north face that allows the existence of permafrost, fossilized ice that is estimated to date from the last ice age 13,000 years ago.
