Since I was a kid I travelled around the hills and peaks of Sierra Nevada range in south Spain, going up and down the valleys that made me in love with the mountains world.
Steadily, I discovered other ranges of the Iberic peninsula such as the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, and then I travelled to the peruvian Andes, the Amazonas jungle, the Moroccan Atlas...
Thanks to these experiences and two years of studying to become a professional mountain guide, I started a new project called Nevalia mountain guides.
I hope I can help you to make true your mountain dreams!

What people are saying about Alejandro
Alex
Great experience to the Veleta. It was not possible to go to the Mulhacen & Alcazaba due to risks of avalanche.
Lina
The trip was a amazing experience Alejandro was professional fun and knowledgeable of the region. I love every moment of the hiking adventure
Laura
Before the hike, the guide was very professional, taking the initiative to stay in touch, responding quickly, and being very flexible. Shortly before the hike, we received a message that the guide had been changed. The new guide also reached out proactively and communicated very well. During the hike, the guide was very helpful, caring, friendly, and considerate. I had two children with me (ages 11 and 9), for whom this was their first mountain hike. The guide adjusted to their pace, making the hike truly enjoyable. Throughout the hike, we saw many breathtaking views and mountain goats, experiencing both challenging ascents and easier descents. My family was extremely satisfied with the hike!

The trip was great. Unfortunately, due to very bad weather conditions, we were not able to climb to the top of the Toubkal

Our guide was actually Ruben. Alejandro was sick. Ruben was just great. Definitely 5 stars.
