Veleta North Gully (AD)
Mountaineering in Sierra Nevada hides true gems, and one of the most remarkable is the North Gully of Veleta. It is the most popular mountaineering route in the Sierra Nevada of Granada, a true classic that should not be missed. The itinerary combines progression through a narrow couloir, followed by a long traverse, and finally a mixed climb that leads to the summit of one of the highest mountains on the Iberian Peninsula. This is pure mountaineering in a wild and rugged environment, with an atmosphere that will give you goosebumps and sharpen your senses to admire and enjoy this breathtaking place.
