Itinerary description
The famous Spanish skiing resort Sierra Nevada in a moderate hiking track in first summer days.
There was mostly deserted view with beautiful metal-shiny rocks and piles of snow along the track. The sky was mostly dusty and visibility at the horizon was not so good.
You'll need:
1-1,5 liter of water, light tracking boots, shorts, t-shirt, wind jacket, sunglasses and a sun hat.
In summertime bus goes only at 9:00 from Estación de autobuses de Granada and returns only at 17:00 from Moya del Mar. Both ways it's going through Pradollano. It's possible to buy tickets at the bus.
So you have time to drink a cup of coffee on the final station get on top for 2 hours and a half, take some pictures and rest for half an hour at the top and come back the same 2-2,5 hours.
Enjoy ;)
