Audio Tours
- - - Ever since we moved to Granada in 2006, we’ve enjoyed exploring Andalucía. The TrekSierraNevada website was born out of our love of hiking in the mountains, but recently we’ve also created audio tours of some of the region’s fascinating villages, towns and cities. Our audio tours use VoiceMap, an innovative app that uses your phone’s GPS to automatically play you audio based on your location.
Guided hikes
- - - On a guided hike you can learn about the local geology, fauna and flora and architecture, as well as the people who live here. And if you want to climb the highest peaks like Mulhacén or Veleta in winter, the only safe way to do it is with a guide.
Activities
- - - As well as hiking, Granada and the Sierra Nevada region offer a wide range of activities, including cultural heritage, gastronomy and high-adrenaline options like canyoning and climbing.

Descend into the narrow river valleys where the Higuerón and Chillar flow down towards the sea, and cross a series of jagged ridges with great views of the surrounding countryside and down to the Mediterranean. After the final steep climb, you descend on a forest track to Nerja Cave near Maro.
