Go Hiking in Sierra Nevada

If what you like is hiking, you can explore the Sulayr trail, which crosses the Sierra Nevada.

This route is divided into 19 sections which can be covered over several days, although there are other, smaller paths that you can cover in a single day.

We recommend visiting the Dornajo Visitor Centre, where you can obtain information on many different footpaths, and on accommodation and restaurants in the area.

There you can also take a leaflet or route map of the Sierra Nevada.
