Hoya de la Mora is a small plateau with parking, kiosk huts, something from the university and the Civil Guard. The famous barrier is also located at approximately this height. It's always easy to clear up to here in winter, but depending on the weather it gets difficult from here. If no snow has fallen yet, you can still make it up to 2800-3000m in January until the road is full of ice. If it snows, it's over at the ski slope at the latest.

Popular legend tells that a deputy campaigning for La Alpujarra asked the people of Pitres what they wanted for their town. They asked for something impossible, perhaps out of distrust of the usually unfulfilled promises of politicians. But the deputy managed to get away with naming a mountain pass here, even though the locals had actually asked for a sea port.

For all bike packers who want to cross the Sierra Nevada: Due to the even incline, it is quite possible in one day from Granada, past Hoya de la Mora, up to the Rifugio Carihuela (almost 2000 meters in altitude). See my komoot documentation.

Sierra Nevada is the highest mountain range in western Europe after the Alps, with incredible Cols and landscapes to ride and the Europe's southernmost Sky resort. The city center of Granada is just at 45km from the top of Pico Veleta (3.394m), considered one of the longest, hardest and most challenging climbs in the world, completely cyclable by this North side through the highest paved road in Europe. The South climb to Pico Veleta starts from the village of Capileira, located at La Alpujarra. This off-road climb, without technical difficulties beyond the elevation and the mountain weather, includes some small shelters over 3.000m height (La Caldera, Villavientos and La Carihuela), although due to the snowfields the route is only cyclable in summer.

During the winter the road is normally closed many meters before reaching it, and in many cases it is almost impossible to ascend up it to the Hoya de la Mora as it is practically impassable from the junction with the road that ascends from the Ski Resort, meters above the access to the Parking de los Peñones.
