Enclaved in the central part of the Penibetic Mountain, the Sierra Nevada massif constitutes the most extensive mountainous are in Spain, with a structure all of its own. Called 'Sierra of the Sun' by the Arabs, it houses one of the most valuable faunas in the whole of Europe.

Sierra Nevada is a rocky massif that forms a clearly distinct geographical unit. It is located to the south-east of the city of Granada and extends along the western end of Almería. It offers a sharp contrast between the soft relief of hillocks to other more rugged areas. The biggest peaks on the Peninsula can be found in this Reserve: Mulhacén (3,.482 m) and Veleta (3,392 m). The main plant communities dotted over this rocky massif are the holm oak groves, deciduous forests, chestnut trees and Melojo oaks, high mountain groves and padded brushwood on the very highest summits, where the species form a cushion to protect themselves from the winter temperatures and icy winds. As for fauna, there are invertebrates that are exclusive to this massif, including more than 20 species of butterflies. Species of small birds abound, as well as a large number of birds of prey and different mammals, including the mountain goat that grazes on the high mountain.

The visit lasts 4 hours approximately, with pick up from your hotel in Granada's city centre between 9.00 and 9.30 am. Includes: Guide (spanish or english), transport going and return and tapas menu on the way back to the hotel.

The meeting point for the tours will be your hotel in Granada, if you are not lodged in Granada city centre or you are not staying in a hotel, the meeting point will be the Congress Centre's main entrance at 9.00 am approximately.
