부스키스타‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

This mountain hut was closed for a long time due to renovations (from 2023), see the relevant website for more information (Spanish).

Nice picnic spot after summiting Pico Veleta, if not spending a night here.

The path that goes to the Refugio de la Piuca is very comfortable and pleasant (surrounded by pine trees), and it also has almost no slope. This is a shelter that will only serve as a reference to start some routes since it is closed and we will rarely find an open back door that gives access to a woodshed.

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.

The Poqueira shelter has seven dormitories with 100 beds. It is open throughout the year and has a restaurant service, shower, free kitchen, etc. Both to sleep and eat there it is strictly necessary to book in advance.

This refuge called Carihuela is accepted under the peak of Veleta in the Sierra Nevada, just in front of the Laguna de las Yeguas and where the track that will take us descending to the Alpujarras of Granada begins.

The Poqueira shelter has seven bedrooms with 100 beds. It is open all year round and has a restaurant service, shower, free kitchen, etc. Both to sleep and to eat there it is strictly necessary to book in advance.
