Alcazaba

Description

Alcazaba lies next to Mulhacen. At the height of 3366 m. The North face is a challencing climb for everyone, but dangerous because of the loose stones. Alcazaba can be reached from Guejar Sierra following a path about 20 kms next to river Rio Genil, so plenty of water. There after starts climbing, but one or two overnight stays are must. On Alcazaba there is a one hut.

Mulhacen can be seen easily and way to Capileira takes only a day, when going via Mulhacen towards Poqueira hut and following the river Rio Poqueira. Also water available.

Third route to Alcazaba is from Trevelez, which is the highest village on the Sierra Nevada mountains. The most challencing route is from the north side, where from the mountain can be seen on its best.
