It is now possible to fly from London Gatwick, Stanstead and Liverpool direct to Granada. From the city there is 1 bus daily (leaves at 9am, returns at 5pm)to Pradonollo (the ski resort) and Hoyo de la Mora (a little further up the mountain road) during the summer season. This is the only public transport avaliable on this side of the park. From Hoyo de la Mora it is possible to catch the national park shuttle bus up to Positiones de Veleta which halves the walking time to the summit to just 1 hour. The view from the top is sensational

I'm studying abroad in Granada for the semester (September - mid-December 2013), and am hoping to do some backpacking on weekends in the Sierra Nevada ranges. I'm down for anything really! Send me a message if you're interested!
we are planning to climb Mulhacen, the highest mountain of the range (and the highest of continnental Spain). 3.482 m. We will be climbing it in two days, sleeping in the hut of Poqueira (2.500 m). However, this is an organized commercial ascent, runned by my company of mountaineering and outdoor activities www.jonsanz.com (site now completely in Spanish, but we are guiding in English, Spanish, Dutch,...). This costs € 145,- for the two days climb, but includes the night in the hut with the food (dinner and breakfast), and also includes the insurance and the use of crampons and ice axe. The ascent will take place on december, 7th and 8th.If you want to come with us, take a look to our site and, if you want, contact us for reservation.
