Mulhacen (2 Days in the Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada)

Spanish Sierra Nevadas. This mountain range hosts the highest peak in the entire Iberian peninsula (Mulhacen 3481 meters). Tricia, Maggie, and I set out for a 2 night pack trip from the highest village in Spain (Trevelez). It was an amazing trip.

Camping at 3000 meters doesnt get any better than this. Canada de Siete Lagunas.

Trevelez is known for thier cool air that cures the Ham (Jamon). I love this stuff.
