"Again in Sierra Nevada, the highest peaks of the Iberian Peninsula. A fresh but sunny morning allows us to move forward towards the Veleta Peak. The air feels light, oxygen is lacking, but it is also very pure and that helps our lungs. There is a pleasant feeling of tranquility and silence in the environment. We pass near huge blocks of rock that have a silver glow under the sun's rays. Alpine sparrows welcome us near the summit in exchange for bread crumbs. The views are wonderful and we enjoyed a good time at the summit." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 16, 2019
"The track start in Hoya de La Mora and go to Carihuela Refuge near Veleta Peak. Altitude sickness forced two members of the team to return. For its proximity to the sea the atmospheric conditions can change quickly." — franciscobirruezo • Oct 11, 2015
"First time I arrived in Granada I went trekking with an organized trip passing all 3000 m of the spanish Sierra Nevada during a week. Turned out later I bought a house at the feet of the Sierra Nevada in Niguelas. " — cvandaele • Aug 12, 2003
