Alhorí Diagonal Gully
The Alhorí Cirque is one of the most spectacular and least frequented spots for mountaineering in Sierra Nevada. It is located on the northern side of Granada, very close to the town of Jerez del Marquesado. This unique setting offers a pure high-mountain experience, with breathtaking views towards the Gorafe desert. The Diagonal Couloir stands out for its beauty and grandeur, a climb among frozen waterfalls that requires good physical fitness, as the full activity lasts around 7 hours from the starting point until reaching the base of the couloir.
