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.
Audio tours
- - - Follow one of our favourite routes through Granada’s streets and alleyways, pausing to take in the incredible views of the Alhambra, Albaicín and Sierra Nevada. Our audio tours use VoiceMap, an innovative app that uses your phone’s GPS to automatically play you audio based on your location. It’s the perfect way to soak up Granada’s rich 1,000-year history and culture.

In Spanish the word silleta can refer to a saddle, and when you get near the top of this striking mountain it’s easy to see how it got its name. The walk up through the pine forest is steep, but you are rewarded with spectacular 360° views of the Sierra Nevada, the Sierras de Alhama, Tejeda y Almijara, Granada and the nearby towns of Dílar and Dúrcal. The return route skirts around the mountain before descending more gently back to Dílar.
