Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll depart from Plaza de Mariana Pineda in Granada towards the Sierra Nevada National Park, a beautiful mountainous area of the Betic Cordilleras.

During the tour, we'll pass by places such as the Roman gold mine of Cenes de la Vega, the Camino de los Neveros, the banks of the river Genil, and the gorge of Los Cahorros del río Monachil. After these stops, we'll reach the National Park, which spans both the provinces of Granada and Almeria.

Upon arrival, we'll take a tour of Sierra Nevada, combining walking and offroading. We'll observe the elevations of the mountain range, including the Mulhacén and Veleta peaks, and have the chance to touch the snow at almost 2,500 meters (8,202 feet). A panoramic restaurant will be a stop for a drink while enjoying the view.

Throughout the route, we'll learn about the flora and fauna of this natural environment, a Biosphere Reserve due to its biodiversity. The landscapes have also been settings for TV shows, movies, and commercials. Myths and legends regarding these mountains are also part of the tour.

At the end of the tour, you'll have about 2 hours of free time in the ski resort of Sierra Nevada to relax or enjoy the views. Finally, we'll return to the meeting point in Granada, concluding this 7-hour tour.
