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.

Geodetic Vertex of Veleta Peak.

An effort "on par" with the views of the main peaks of the Sierra Nevada massif.

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.

The tour is not continuous! There is no access through the valley by the river. Signs prohibiting bikes from the picnic 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.

There is no fixed route on the terrain along this whole stretch of the ridge, nor are there any landmarks. You can go either way, keeping the direction towards the slope of Cerro Pelado. The summit is another pile of slate, schist and coloured graphite at the highest point of the mountain. It is the best viewpoint of the massif that begins at Puntal de Vacares and continues along the cliffs and ridges of Alcazaba and Mulhacén. The descent returns along the same path to avoid the steep eastern face of Cerro Pelado, about two hundred metres, and when the terrain is comfortable for descending along the slopes, you must head east along the large valley formed by the source of the river Trévelez.

The route continues along the summit of Puntal de Juntillas, which consists of a pile of stones with views of the eastern slope of the central sector of Sierra Nevada. To advance towards the next three thousand meters, you have to change course slightly and continue towards the southeast downhill. The descent is gentle, giving you the sensation of changing summits.
