tatra mountains in winter

sierra nevada

Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in Andalucia in Spain. It is part of Baetic Mountains and contains a few three-thousanders, including Mulhacén, which is the highest peak of Iberian Peninsula. In October 2015 I visited Sierra Nevada National Park, where I did a few nice hikes.

Vereda de la Estrella or how I overestimated my capabilities

Sheeps, sore feet and dreams of kebab – that’s what I remembered the most from my trip to Vereda de la Estrella, one of the most popular trails in Sierra Nevada mountains. I walked 33 km with 1300 m of denivelation this day and my plans were even more ambitious.

Mulhacén from Trevélez in one day

Mulhacén (3479 m) is the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula, located in Sierra Nevada National Park. There are a few trails leading to the summit. Some of them are easy but I chose the harder one – from Trevélez village. I almost succeeded ;)
