Mulhacén

Mulhacén is Spain's second tallest peak. This incredible peak is located on Spain's mainland, on the Iberico Peninsula, and stands at 11,411 feet (3,478 meters). The mountain is part of the Sierra Nevada range and may be found within the Sierra Nevada National Park in Grenada's province. Muley Hacen, a Muslim monarch of Granada in the 15th century, was called after the peak. Previously, you could drive all the way to the top of Mulhacén, but since 1994, you can only get there on foot. While mounting mountains is never an easy task, Mulhacén is known for being a relatively easy climb, especially for inexperienced climbers.

If you ascend from the settlements of Capileira or Trevelez, you may reach the summit in one day. Those who want to break up their travels can stay at the Poqueria refuge or the Caldera shelters. Mulhacén's steep slopes may also be skied or snowboarded down, and because of its proximity to the shore, you can play in the snow in the morning and take a bath in the ocean in the afternoon.
