"My son and I are returning from a trekking in the Sierra Nevada National Park and there have been many experiences in the heights to describe them in a small text, so I will try to make the photos describe the adventure better than my words.
One key is to acclimatize the body to the altitude, so the first night we slept in Pradollano and almost at sunset we went up to 2700 m
The other two nights we slept above 3000 m, one of them under a sky full of stars at the foot of the Mulhacen, the other in a refuge. Up there only reigns the sometimes very strong wind, the rocks and the alpine goats, also tiny flowers and lagoons of glacial origin.
Something unites the people who walk the high peaks that pushes us to help or be helped, being up there is like walking on another planet where the rules are not set by us but by the mountain itself." — franciscobirruezo • Jul 16, 2023
"One more day I write from Sierra Nevada, a magical mountain in the province of Granada. Today's goal is almost 10000 feet above sea level. We start the route calmly from La Hoya de La Mora and reserving energy.
After a couple of miles Elvira has a dizziness that makes us doubt but we managed to solve it by eating chocolate and nuts. We continue advancing under a gale of care over a landscape full of rocks. The views are incredible. At the top there are remains of machine gun nests from the Spanish Civil War (1936), we rested and had a small lunch. A group of climbers takes a picture of us. From here the summits of Veleta and Mulhacen look like stone colossi. We are happy to have achieved our goal today, but it is only 50% of the work. You have to go down." — franciscobirruezo • Jul 17, 2018
