Veleta

Mount Veleta will be the next name on the list today. Mount Veleta is Spain's fourth-tallest mountain and the Sierra Nevada's second-highest summit. The mountain, which stands sentinel behind Grenada, is particularly lovely when seen against the backdrop of the old Alhambra palace.

The word "Veleta" means "weathervane", yet the mountain's peak resembles a ship bow more than a weathervane. The Sierra Nevada Ski Station is located on the northern slopes of Mount Veleta, which stands at 11,145 feet (3,398 meters). On all of Pico Veleta's faces and slopes, there are numerous paths. Hikes, rock climbs, ice and snow climbs, and so forth are all extremely different. The routes' difficulty varies based on the season and weather conditions. If you prefer climbing to skiing, the Hoya de la Mora pass, located just above the ski station, is a good place to start.
