Description
Trevenque mountain and Caballo. Sierra Nevada National Park. Autumn sunrise.
Misty mountains. Summer sun. Sierra Nevada National Park
Sierra Nevada National Park. It is located in Andalusia, Spain. It's a huge chain of mountains located in the province of the massif Granada.It is the highest mountains of western Europe after the Alps. Heights presents: Pico Mulhac�n (3482 m) and Veleta Cerros Cerros Alcazaba.
It is the largest botanical reserves in Europe with more than 71 botanical endemism and more than 2000 botanical endemism of Spain.
Mulhac�n (Spanish pronunciation: [mulaˈθen]) is the highest mountain in continental Spain and in the Iberian Peninsula. It is part of the Sierra Nevada range in the Cordillera Penib�tica. It is named after Abu l-Hasan Ali, or Muley Hac�n as he is known in Spanish, the penultimate Muslim King of Granada in the 15th century who, according to legend, was buried on the summit of the mountain.
Mulhac�n is the highest peak in Europe[4] outside the Caucasus Mountains and the Alps. It is also the third most topographically prominent peak in Western Europe, after Mont Blanc and Mount Etna, and is ranked 64th in the world by prominence.[2] The peak is not exceptionally dramatic in terms of steepness or local relief. The south flank of the mountain is gentle and presents no technical challenge, as is the case for the long west ridge. The shorter, somewhat steeper north east ridge is slightly more technical. The north face of the mountain, however, is much steeper, and offers several routes involving moderately steep climbing on snow and ice (up to French grade AD) in the winter.[3]
Mulhac�n can be climbed in a single day from the villages of either Capileira or Trev�lez, but it is more common to spend a night at the mountain refuge at Poqueira, or in the bare shelter at Caldera to the west. Those making the ascent from Trevelez can also bivouac at the tarns to the northeast of the peak.
