Description
Sierra Nevada is the most southern national park in Europe and the only massif on the Iberian Peninsula that exceeds 3,000 meters continuously. Less than an hour from Granada, Mulhacén brings together around it a diversity of ecosystems ranging from Mediterranean forest to alpine landscape in just a few kilometers of ascent, with more than 2,000 catalogued plant species and high-mountain fauna that includes the Iberian ibex and more than twenty endemic butterfly species.
Our excursion departs directly from the hotel in the center of Granada in a private minibus with capacity for up to 17 passengers and an expert guide throughout the entire route. Our route covers the most representative sites of the national park, with a stop at the Centro de Visitantes El Dornajo for an introduction to the biodiversity of the massif, views of Mulhacén and Pico Veleta from the most privileged viewpoints in the mountains, and free time at Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves and in Pradollano. The return to Granada includes a stop for traditional Granada tapas.
