This exciting challenge will take you to the summit of Mount Mulhacén, the highest peak on mainland Spain, standing at an impressive 3,482 meters. Along the way, you’ll experience stunning scenery, including sheltered valleys, lush green gorges, winding watercourses, terraced farmlands, and picturesque high-altitude villages nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
