Description
Discover the mythical Veleta Peak on this ascent in Sierra Nevada, Spain.
The Veleta Peak belongs to the Sierra Nevada in the Penibetica mountain range. It is located in Granada, Andalusia and with 3,398 meters, it is the fourth highest summit in Spain.
From the roof of the mountain, you will see the amazing Mulhacen (3,482 meters) and the incredible Alcazaba (3,371 meters). These are the second and the sixth highest summits in the country respectively. Also, if weather allows we can admire the African Continent behind the Mediterranean Sea. A really stunning landscape!
If you want to take this ascent, consider that a medium level of fitness is mandatory. My last recommendation is to bring:
Mountain clothing and shoes
Windbreaker jacket
Food and water
Walking poles
Ice ax and crampons in winter season

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!
