Trekking Sierra Nevada National Park in Spain

🥾 This trip is organized by Harri, I'm a nature lover and will be your Mountain Guide & Sports coach during this trip. I'm based in Granada city center, in Southern Spain, Andalusia, but originate from central Finland. A place magically located between incredible beaches and Sierra Nevada National Park. 🥾 Are you ready to experience the wildest weekend with me? Let's come together and share a different weekend through our beautiful National Park in southern Spain: the Sierra Nevada, Alpujarras area. Let's sleep at local guesthouses and learn how to prepare self-sufficient treks through the mountains, also tasting local gastronomy. 👬 I invite you to join this adventure and discover this hidden gem of Spain! You will enjoy crazy activities in nature with people of your age who share your same interests and passions. La Alpujarra is a magical region found on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. Its white villages are literally perched on the mountains. 🔭 The landscape is a wonderful blend of natural vegetation and fruit trees growing on handmade terraces built centuries ago. Walking along old footpaths and up and down staircases carved into the rock, we will arrive at different viewpoints from which we will have a bird’s eye view of the fantastic scenery. 🌞 In summer, the snow melt flows through fountains, streams, and waterfalls, creating an inviting landscape bursting with flowers for us to roam through. 🌣 We do this trekking during the daytime, respecting the rhythm of the group. The total walking distance will be about 45km, split by 4-night stops. The physical level necessary is medium. 🛏️ We will stay overnight at local private accommodations, sharing a bigger apartment together or sharing rooms. We can decide later because there are lots of alternatives.
