Pico de Veleta
- Category: Mountains
- Location: The Sierra Nevada
Fodor's Review:
The Pico de Veleta, peninsular Spain's second-highest mountain, is 11,125 feet high. The view from its summit across the Alpujarra range to the sea at distant Motril is stunning; on a very clear day you can see the coast of North Africa. In July and August you can drive or take a minibus to within hundreds of yards of the summit—a trail takes you to the top. It's cold up here, so bring a warm jacket and scarf, even if Granada is sizzling hot.
