Sierra Nevada in Granada, Andalucia, is always impressive regardless of the time of year. But especially in winter, just before Christmas, there's an added allure to the ever white mountain. I was not present in this route but some friends from the club went last December and the fotos they came back with are impressive.
To get there you need to follow signs for Sierra Nevada from Granada. There is a special parking place near "Hoya de La Mora" where you can see the peak of La Veleta directly. For orientation see the map below. The climb is from point 1 to point 16:
It is possible to do the day trip from Malaga and back in one day, but make sure you take plenty of lunch with you! There is not a lot up there.... Enjoy these unique fotos, and to join us visit http://comandopreston.blogspot.com/2010/12/ascension-al-veleta-desde-la-hoya-de-la.html
