Sierra Nevada

Distance: 21km

Duration: 8 hours

Difficulty: Moderate (decent amount of ascent +800m)

Desirability: One of the top hikes to do in the area. We loved it!

Description: After a hair raising drive along a single track road, through blind tunnels you arrive at the car park.  You then follow the trail above the bottom of the gorge before descending down to cross over the water.  The trail then zig zags up the mountain, through a lush pine forest.  There are a couple of Refugio's on route offering excellent spots for snacking and lunching. The views of Mulhacen, Alcazaba and Veleta are incredible.
