On the south side of Loma Pelada, at an altitude of 3090m, this is useful for access to Mulhacén, Alcazaba and Puntal de la Caldera. The refuge is in a very good state and makes a convenient alternative to Refugio Caldera on busy weekends. Sleeps 8. The only downside is that there is no water source close by, so all water must be carried in.

Refugio Forestal Loma de Cañar (Cebollar) (Route 10)

Situated at 2500m on a beautiful alpine meadow, this refuge has its own spring close by that never seems to dry up. It’s worth a visit and an overnight stay if possible. The refuge itself is a bit rough but reasonably comfortable – although the roof does leak a bit. Sleeps 10. Good for an ascent of Tajos de los Machos or a winter outing thereabouts.

Refugio de Ventura (Routes 11, 24, 31)

At the top edge of the forest by the path descending from Cerro del Caballo, the building is partially ruined and should only be used in an emergency, as it’s only an hour to a road trailhead or a 3hr walk down to Lanjarón. There is no convenient water source.
