The Sierra Nevada lies on the Mediterranean coast in the south of Spain and means translated "snow-covered mountains". At 3482 metres above sea level, Sierra Nevada is the highest mountain range in the Iberian Peninsula and is usually covered with a thick layer of snow from November to May. Located in the Spanish provinces of Granada and Almería within the autonomous region of Andalusia, the Sierra Nevada describes an approximately 100 kilometer long section of the mountain range of the Betische Kordillere.

In the Sierra Nevada National Park, you will experience the rich flora and fauna of Spanish nature on an area of around 86,208 hectares. In addition to Mulhacén, the highest mountain on the Iberian Peninsula, numerous protected animal species and plant varieties await you with the so-called Endemites, which can only be found here in their original form. Representative for the medium to high mountainous areas of the Mediterranean region, lush wooded areas alternate with barren screes, the characteristic beauty of which makes the landscape so attractive.

Via the village of Pradollano you reach the top of Pico del Veleta on the highest road in Europe.

The central mountain massif of the Betic Cordillera, in the midst of a snowy landscape, offers a variety of hiking routes, marked by the Mulhacén and the Veleta, the highest peaks of the Iberian Peninsula. Start your varied hiking excursion starting at your vacation rental along the western main axis of the high mountains.
