ポルトゥゴスの天然記念物・トップ20

The Veleta Peak viewpoint, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains (Granada), is one of the most spectacular spots to enjoy panoramic high-mountain views on the Iberian Peninsula. From the summit of Veleta you can enjoy: Views of the Mediterranean Sea on clear days. Panoramic views of Mulhacén, the highest peak on the peninsula. High-mountain landscapes with rock formations, snow (in winter), and native flora.

Beautiful little reservoir that is currently being filled by meltwater

The trail is pretty easy to find until you get to the waterfalls. To reach Laguna Hondera you must climb up beside the first waterfall. That is between the two waterfalls. There are cairns on the path but it’s quite easy to miss them amongst the other routes up there. It’s a beautiful location. We saw a few ibex but only 2 other hikers!

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place. Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.

If you want to access the viewpoint, you just have to walk along a paved road that takes you there in a gentle climb. The views from above are spectacular: you can see the high mountains of Sierra Nevada, as well as the entire Poqueira ravine and its three famous towns: Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.

Tajos del Ángel viewpoint one of the best places to rest from the long and intense climb to the vane from the coast

It is an excellent viewpoint with a beautiful panoramic view of one of the valleys on the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada. In the valley you can see the towns of Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira, as well as the Poqueira river.

This viewpoint is located at a crossroads that leads you to the Capileira ascent. If you want to get to Veleta, it is the traditional climb and highly requested by MTB mountaineers. While you decide which path to choose, I recommend that you stop for a moment and contemplate the incredible panoramic views.
