The ascent to Veleta is an emblematic place for cyclists and mountaineers of all levels. It is recommended to climb at any time of the year, that is, within the level of each one and always with responsibility, sanity and always always well prepared against inclement weather

Hiking

Second highest peak (3396m) of the Iberian Peninsula, after Mulhacen. The ascent from the "Hoya de la Mora", about 6 km, is not that difficult, although short stretches are up to 36% steep.
