란테이라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

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

The Puerto de la Ragua marks the border between the provinces of Granada and Almería. The Sierra Nevada stretches on both sides, with the 3000m peaks on the Granada side. The highest mountain in the province of Almería, El Chullo, is, however, easily accessible from the Puerto de la Ragua. The Puerto de la Ragua is just over 2000m.

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.

The summit landmark takes a while to appear on the great hill of the mountain, but finally the striking pinnacle of stones, the geodesic vertex and the small corral of the bivouac emerge. This is all there is at the summit, but around it the panorama is spectacular. The deserts of Gorafe, Hoya de Baza and even the sierras of Baza and Filabres seem to be part of another reality. And towards the interior of the sierra, the Alcazaba, Mulhacén and Veleta appear, dominating the rest of the three thousand meters of the Sierra Nevada. The views are good but they get even better further on. The route continues towards the southwest along the typical rocky carpet of mica schists and slates of the Nevada mountains to a small hill where you would have to escape in case of a blizzard or any complication towards the east, towards the Puerto de Trévelez.

One of the few asphalt passes over 2,000m in the region. You just have to take it with you, even if it's not particularly "exciting" IMHO.

The trail goes through the Hornillo pass and goes up the demanding slope of Morrón Sanjuanero, the slope is steep and it is easy to finish the ascent on foot. The path is clear on the steep side of the mountain. On the way there are concrete markers with a double direction arrow. At the top there is a small pile of stones and good views. In the background appear the summits of the Alcazaba and the Mulhacén, the great colossi of the Sierra Nevada and the roofs of the Spanish mountain ranges, the snowfields last until late spring. The trail goes down between some curious slate ridges along the Fuente Fría Range to a col and continues skirting the range towards the next peak of the sierra.

It is a first-class port through which the Cycling Tour of Spain has passed several times. If you like demanding climbs, you are in the right place.
