Full description

Discover some of the best views of the Sierra Nevada mountains surrounding Granada, and enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the old city from secret viewpoints. On the tour, drive along trails that date back over a thousand years, from the time of the Visigods and the Arabs. Following pickup from Granada city center, travel by 4WD vehicle towards the towering peaks of the nearby mountains north of the city. They soar to altitudes of more than 6,700 feet (2,000 meters), and remain snow-capped for much of the year. Explore the north face of the Sierra Nevada to see the highest peaks on the Iberian Peninsula, climbing to heights of more than 3,000 meters. Marvel at the amazing landscape, before driving to Sierra de Huétor Natural Park. The mountains here are lower, and were used by the Moors to draw spring water for the Albaicín, now part of Granada. See some old fortifications from the days of the Spanish Civil War, and enjoy incredible views of Granada and the Sierra Nevada. Finally, visit a panoramic restaurant in Sierra Nevada where you'll enjoy a drink, as well as any snacks, sandwiches, or meals you might want.

This experience was incredible. Our guide was so knowable and gave a personalized tour of the mountains. Be ready to do some walking - we did a few small hikes and walks to really see some great spots on the mountain so make sure you wear the right clothing and shoes. We did the sunset tour so ended the day near the highest peak of the mountains and had breathtaking views of the sunset into the Sierra Nevada mountains. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Jaime was amazing! Punctual, great communication. He picked us up at our hotel and was a magnificent tour guide! Very informative, stopped along the way many times to show us interesting sites, wildlife, and other points of interest. We had a amazing lunch and I can’t say thank you enough! I highly recommend this adventure to anybody in Granada, Spain! Five stars!

Our guide Jaime was a fountain of knowledge in respect of the routes, flora and fauna! He stopped the vehicle whenever we wanted a photo opportunity and was a very friendly, funny guy. We had such a good day in his company and would highly recommend to other travellers who haven’t been into the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains.
