Many of the blocks of Granada are right on our doorstep, such as Cogollos and Nivar. Another beautiful place is Nig\u00fcelas, just south of the city of Granada.

Some areas such as Los Vados offer via ferratas and cordatas (climbing in facilities but belaying with a rope). The most famous and interesting is undoubtedly the\u00a0Ferrata de Mocl\u00edn<\/i>where you cross between the rocks several times on the zip lines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Sierra Nevada mountains offer many high alpine routes! You can do multi-pitch routes on rock for example on the Veleta walls, or choose one of the many mixed climbs on snow, ice and rock on the different peaks of the Sierra Nevada such as Mulhacen, Veleta or Alcazaba.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the winter, the Sierra Nevada offers pure ice climbs as well as many mixed climbs, such as the north face of Mulhacen (AD) or the Canuto Norte de Veleta (AD).
There is even a place for drytooling in La Zubia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
