Mulhacén, with an elevation of: 3,479 metres, is the highest mountain in peninsular Spain and in all of the Iberian Peninsula. It is part of the Sierra Nevada range. It is named after: Abu Hassan, known as: Muley Hacén in Spanish, the penultimate Muslim ruler of Granada in the 15.th century who, according to legend, was buried on the summit of the mountain. Mulhacén: 3,479 meters, is the highest peak in Southern Europe outside of the Alps. Spain’s Mulhacén, the giant of the Sierra Nevada range, is the highest mountain in Western Europe outside the Alps. At 11,413 feet (3,479m), it makes for a long trek, but it can be tackled in a day. If you start from the Mirador de Trevélez, where a shuttle bus will take you to in the summer, the 7.5-mile (12km) hike will take about six hours. The terrain is rocky and barren all the way up, as there’s no water on the mountain after the snow melts. However, you will likely see herds of death-defying Spanish ibex, who will sniff around for a snack as you sit on the summit. You’ll also be treated to sweeping views over the Mediterranean and the Andalucían city of Granada in the valley below. We took the faster route to the left (maybe saved 2km) was "slightly" more difficult but still pretty straight forward. Took 8 hours in 1 push and was a long steady day with breaks. Breathtaking. Will go back there again some day. First day went from capileira to 2500m slept in a tent 500meters away from refugio. Day 2 reached mulhacen top and then went down all the way back to car. Took all day to get back. Should have made a 3 day hike instead. Mid february, unexpectedly little snow, around 0°C on top. Beautiful views on the top. Take a lot of water and food however, the climb is technically easy, but you'll burn a lot of calories on its way. Temparature is very nice during July/August. Definitely worth the hike! Sleep in of the 2 refugios around de corner and start early the next morning so you can watch the sunrise. It takes about 2,5 hours to climb the last 2km to the top. Nice and easy climb, only level of fitness is required. Good views, but still find Veleta and views of Granada and whole valley from Veleta way more beautiful. As the highest peak in area often windy, as was in my case. The highest peak of Spain with a stunning view of Sierra Nevada mountains. On a good visibility day you can see the African coast as well. Definitely worth a steep climb to get to the 3430 meters peak.
