This ascent towards the Veleta peak (3,396 m), the second highest peak of the Sierra Nevada, allows you to enjoy spectacular views of the main peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea, as well as some mountain massifs of the provinces of Granada and Jaén, which are part of other protected natural areas. Along its more than 4 kilometers of average slope of 8%, we can see vestiges of the Spanish Civil War, such as the well-known "Positions of the Veleta" (3,100 m) and botanical endemisms exclusive to the Sierra Nevada such as the Manzanilla de Sierra Nevada or Manzanilla Real (Artemisia granatensis). Once the climb to the summit is complete, the imposing Corral del Veleta emerges, a dizzying cut with more than 200 meters of fall, on its North face, in which you can see a mass of fossil ice, as a legacy of what happened in the "Little Ice Age".
