A very beautiful, expansive hiking and biking area. Also suitable for multi-day hikes with overnight stays (tent, bikepacking, etc.). Awesome views in every direction. Plenty of free parking available. A must-see for anyone in the area.

Climbing the Veleta is especially fun in winter, when the Sierra Nevada lives up to its name and is covered in snow. However, it is then necessary to wear either snowshoes or crampons.

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

Here you can gain a few extra meters in altitude.

The Corral del Veleta was the southernmost glacier in Europe until its extinction in 1913. The views from the Mirador are great on a clear day.

Between Veleta and Mulhacén peaks, at 3040 meters, there is a very special corner in this area of the Sierra Nevada. This is the Río Seco glacial cirque, a complex of lagoons that dries up in summer but that you can observe during the rest of the year.

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 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.

The Virgen de las Nieves is the patron saint of Sierra Nevada. From this point you can access the Veleta. From this point you will have beautiful panoramic views of the Collado del Veleta and the Tajos de la Virgen.

After a long walk, we reached the destination point: the summit of Mulhacén (3479 meters), the highest peak of the Iberian Peninsula. They say that if the day is very clear, you can see even the mountains of Africa. We were not lucky that day, but what we did see were the impressive peaks that are hidden in the Sierra Nevada.

Among the legends that surround the Sierra Nevada mountains, the story of King Muley Hassem, father of the famous Boabdil, the last monarch of Granda who surrendered the city to the Catholic Monarchs, stands out. The chronicles say that Muley Hassem met a beautiful 12-year-old Christian named Isabel de Solís among the slaves in the entourage of his wife, the sultana Aixa, and fell passionately in love. The Arab converted the young woman to Islam and declared her a favorite of his harem with the name Zoraya, morning star. The romance was not admitted by the jealous wife who dedicated herself to raising the Saracen court against her husband, giving rise to continuous confrontations and dramatic events that ended in a bloody civil war. Muley Hassem had to flee Granada and died shortly after in the fortress of Mondújar, accompanied by his beloved and a small group of faithful followers who helped Zoraya bury the unfortunate king on the summit of the highest peak of the mountain range and of all the peninsular geographies. Since then, the geological king of Sierra Nevada has been named after the Nasrid king who renounced his kingdom for love.

The northern part of the Sierra Nevada – where the ski area is located – may have nothing in common with the pristine southern slopes, but this region also has its charm – especially when the magnificent descent on smooth asphalt down into the valley awaits you.

Small breakthrough on the rock, which brings you a good deal closer to the Pico del Veleta on the hiking trail through the Sierra Nevada and also a perfect spot for a photo!
