Mulhacén is the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula and Sierra Nevada, rising to an altitude of 3,478 m above sea level. Its name comes from Mulhacen, a 14th-century Muslim ruler of Granada. It is not a technical climb and can be reached by foot although there are some steep sections.

In summer, the weather on Mulhacén is relatively mild, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 20 degrees Celsius. However, it is worth remembering that the weather can quickly change at this altitude. The trail is well marked, but above all, it is dry and snow-free.

In winter, Mulhacén becomes more unique and challenging. Temperatures drop below zero, and the summit is covered with a thick layer of snow. Conditions can be tough, and the trail requires additional equipment such as crampons, ice axes, and harnesses.

The trail leads through various terrains, including forests, fields, and rocky hills. The trail is well marked, and the path is easy to follow. It takes about 7-8 hours to reach the summit from the starting point. No additional climbing equipment is required, but it is worth remembering that in winter, crampons, ice axes, and harnesses are necessary.
