On a clear day, the peak of Veleta offers 360° views of the surrounding mountains of the Sierra Nevada, the city of Granada, the Mediterranean and even Africa.
In summer the ascent is remarkably straightforward for being such a high mountain, and the fresh mountain air at the summit is a welcome relief from the heat at lower altitudes.
The route starts at Hoya de la Mora and is easy to follow and the terrain is undemanding, although if you prefer you can take slightly more challenging short-cut paths.
