Walking in the Cumbres Verdes

The Cumbres Verdes hills are well known to the local spanish Granadinos as they are very close to the Granada ring road, so access is easy. In spite of this the walking is quiet and unspoilt and has a certain attraction missing in the higher and wilder Sierra Nevada. Lush green valleys fight with arid badlands for possesion of the land and this gives varied and interesting scenery and views. There are many both horseshoe and linear trips available and are suitable for all ages and abilities.

Included in this area is the finest summit in the Sierra Nevada, Trevenque at a mere 2079 metres. The Los Alayos del Dilar ridge gives pleasant ridge scrambling and there are countless easier summits available for you to enjoy including the easily accessible Boca de la Pesca.
