Climbing Mulhacen

The roof of the Iberian Peninsula

Mulhacen (3478 m) is the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula and the second in Spain. It is located in the Sierra Nevada National Park, in Granada. You can climb it in a single day from the villages of Capileira or Trevélez. However, the most common and fun thing is to spend a night in the  Poqueira mountain hut, or in the bivouac of La Caldera next to its beautiful lagoon.

Although in the past you could ascend with vehicles, today you can only climb on foot, on horseback or even by bicycle (through its southern slope). The climbing trip to Mulhacen does not require technical difficulty, but you should keep in mind that an altitude change of 4,000 meters in just two days can be a very exhausting itinerary, unless you have an adequate physical condition
