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.
