In the following area summaries, timings indicate length of journey by car.

Granada area

Granada is extremely convenient for the Cumbres Verdes and Dílar valley routes (20min; Routes 13–20), the ski area/Hoya de la Mora (30min; Routes 21–24) and the Vereda de Estrella trailhead (40min; Routes 25–28). Some hotels alongside the main ski road to the Sierra Nevada provide good and higher alternatives to the city if you intend to do some walks from this side.

The Alpujarras

This area is very close to the southern approaches and trailheads into the range, and there is a good range of hotel, apartment and villa accommodation in most towns and villages.

The town of Lanjarón – Puerta de la Alpujarra (‘Door to the Alpujarra’) – is just 10min from the main A-44 Granada to Motril motorway, and is useful for the Cerro del Caballo (Routes 11 and 12) and access to Puente Palo (Route 10). It is also a spa town, so plenty of treatments are available to soothe your aching limbs after completing the Tres Miles Integral (Route 31)! Órgiva is a further 15min drive away.
