Hiking in Sierra Nevada Spain: 3 Highest Peaks Challenge (Veleta, Mulhacen, Alcazaba)
We went hiking in Sierra Nevada, Spain, for 4 days to summit the 3 highest peaks in the national park, Pico Veleta (3398 m), Mulhacén (3479 m - the highest on the Iberian Peninsula), and Alcazaba (3369 m). Of course, it didn't go by without its challenges, but with these incredible landscapes, it was the hike of our lives! While others might do it in less time, we chose to take our time, follow our own fitness level, and of course, keep in mind that Baby Atlas is only 1 year old and was on his first multi-day trek (Spoiler Alert, he hiked like a champ!) Come with us and explore some of the most magical landscapes in Spain!

Wonderful hike
Great hike..... recommendation came up on you tube and as I walked Mulhacen many years ago (2007) had to watch. We based ourselves in Capileira and had a wonderful few days hiking the Porquiera Gorge and surrounding areas before doing Mulhacen. Fond memories. Lovely footage and you got so close to some of the wildlife.. do you know what the bird as you saw at 32:00 ? When we was there I was lucky enough to see a Bonellis Eagle and Booted Eagles whilst out there. atb Alan
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. I can imagine the memories came flooding! The nature up there is just pure magic! Not sure what birds they were but seemed like some sort of eagle. They look so graceous when they fly.
What a beautiful hike, these shots are breathtaking my friend! Wow 😮
@@ervinslens thank you! It's hard to go wrong with that magical nature!❤️
Gorgeous in Canbanas.Did not want to leave.🥰☀️🏖️
@@waynedelooze1491 nice place isn't it?
@@brainybackpackers5673 Love it😍
Visit Narbo Via museum if you get the chance. It houses the stones (lapidarium) the were once kept in the church you couldn't get to behind the market. Narbonne is a great place and worth many visits.
@@paulstearman-l9n thanks for the tip! We'll definitely be back in Narbonne. Loved the city and spent a few days before filming but it was so rainy we didn't really get to do anything😄
@@brainybackpackers5673 Just one thing to mention, there is a village just along the coast called Peyriac de Mer, it is beautiful. You can swim in Le Doul and walk on the boards. There are salines and etangs. Have a beer or a meal! Bon voyage.
@paulstearman-l9n thanks for the tip!
Gracias 🫂🫂🫂 maravilloso vídeo!!!!LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@mariagraciasatya-lyra9121 Thank you, glad you liked it!
@brainybackpackers5673 eres un cielo 😍😍😍
Siiii. Preciosísimo pueblo!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@raelmasicam61 y mucho!
beautiful video...
@@steveb2145 thank you! Such a nice city.
Glad you finally showed the statue of San Nicolo in the lake. You have to go back to go up the mountain with the cable car for the view. I will definitely spend time there in the future. Thanks for sharing.
@@123benny4 Glad you liked it! We will definitely go back to Lecco.
Absolutely beautiful! I've never heard of this town - thanks for highlighting it :)
Glad you enjoyed it! We hadn't heard of it either so super happy to find it by chance! My favorite part of traveling:)
I had my picture taken on that donkey, Mijas village is so beautiful!
Lovely village!
Beautiful place😃👍Thank you from Japan❤💞💕

Fabulous ! Gracias
Glad you liked it!
So, you can yourselves "brainy" backpackers. Why, therefore, did you show disrespect and enter a church with improper attire?
Thank you for the reminder! I often carry a shirt or skarf with me to enter temples, but I forgot on this trip and will take your feedback with me for the next trip!
Sois bienvenidos a vivir en Chelva! 🤗
Me encantaría! Que pueblo mas bonitooo
👍👍👍💖💖💖Thank you from Japan😊
Glad you liked it🙂
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. It’s now on my bucket list.
@@donnaharrison8028 Glad to hear that! It's a stunning place.
Beautiful ❤
Thanks
Thank you so much for your appreciation! That motivates us to create more helpful content🥰
Thanks for this short and practical guide. I was there 15+ years ago (usually stay in Ferragudo) and wanted to see what had changed. Good tips about the pottery market, A Praca Velha, and watching one's step on the way to and from Algar Seco with its two natural windows. Didn't get the name of the "boat trip" at the end, but will look it up.
Glad you found it helpful! Carvoeiro is such a lovely town!😊

Hello! When it was filmed? Thanks!
@@alexandrubotoc9877 in the beginning of this year, probably February-March.
It looks gorgeous! We’ve made it to Lauterbrunnen/Interlaken & Zurich, but haven’t made it to Locarno yet!
@@CreativesEnRoute that sounds pretty amazing too!
😂😂😂
Recomendable 100%
Beautiful nature, this looks and feels so atmospheric! Great film guys, your content is always diverse 👌👌🥾
@@ervinslens thank you!🙏🏻 it really was stunning!
It's august 2024 can I ask if this route is still possible nowadays
@@ion_iot it's actually closed now. They're going to make it a paid route, not sure when it will reopen.
We visited Zuheros last Easter, but we didn't get to the cave, as it was closed. But it's a wonderful place, thank you for sharing it!
@@dreamtraveldream it's a very nice town isn't it?🙂
@@brainybackpackers5673 Yes! I'm finishing the edition of our video and seeing it, I remember again how nice it was!
@@dreamtraveldream easily one of oir fave white villages in Andalucia🙂
Visiting next month! On top of the vegan options mentioned was there gluten free as well?
@@linseyg1894 how exciting!🙂 I don't remember tbh but I wouldn't be surprised if they have that too. However, there are so many restaurants in Lagos that tbere will be plenty of gluten free choice!
Hi, great video, have been wondering if it is possible to walk with a stroller up into/around the castle?
Thank you! I believe that should be possible in most places around the castle. But it might be complicated on the castle walls as there are steps to get up and some narrow sections where the stroller might not fit. There are also some streets with old, uneven cobblestones, so could be hard to push some places depending on the wheels. In the worst-case scenario, you can walk the road up all the way to the lighthouse without problems.
Por qué a los españoles les gusta tanto el tomate ? Considerarían que es como el té para los ingleses ? Sinceramente Yo le hubiera puesto el tomate primero…
cool little town. we spent 2 days there in may, 2024. one of the best restaurants in the algarve is in Tavira.
Glad you enjoyed it! We also found quite a few nice restaurants there🙂
Name of restaurant please.
@@mgarci15 retaurante nikita.
Looks nice video 😊 are you owning a personal website
@@HH-zb5ul thank you! Yes, we have four travel and outdoor websites.

We've seen and done all your showing in the video ...SUPER GREAT Our starting point for activities is always Santa Luzia ( super mini town )
@@MrRobin61 Glad you enjoyed it! Santa Luzia is super cute. We included it briefly in the video about Tavira🙂
@@brainybackpackers5673 Yes , I saw it !
@brainybackpackers5673 Very interesting! I'm likely going to hire an immigration attorney to make sure I get everything right because I live quite a distance from my closest Spanish Consulate in Houston Texas, so I don't want to keep going back if I don't have to. I plan on immigrating as a digital nomad and staying long enough to get a permanent residence. I'm looking in the area of Martos to buy a house, but I'm open. I do need a practical location. My limited funds will go a lot further in Andalucia.
I really enjoy your videos. They are really inspiring my move to Spain. May I ask where you are both from originally? I'm from the U S.
Thank you! Spain is definitely a great country to live but be prepared for a lot of paperwork lol I was born in Norway and Mohammed in Morocco.
SUPER ..Thanks ! ...only why didn't you visit Santa Luzia ( right next to Tavira ) , much smaller but ohhhhh so nice .... We've been coming to Santa Luzia for years and stay normally for a month ! We go to Tavira for the action but Santa Luzia is pure R@R
Oh we love Santa Luzia too and been many times. I believe we included it in the video about Tavira🙂
I am a Korean creator! This video is really cool. Let's follow together! ❤
Thank you!
Great video! We’re heading there in a month and this has made me more excited
Thank you! I'm sure you'll love it! The surroundings are the prettiest we found in Lake Como and the town is wonderful. Have a gret trip!
What a beautiful village! I've really gotten interested in Spain (especially Andalucia) because I plan on moving there from the United States.
Awesome! Andalucia is a great place to live🙂
It seems beautiful! Also, it's much more financially feasible for me compared to the United States. What is your opinion on Martos? I know it's not a tourist destination, but it looks like a good place to live. I'm looking at houses in the old part of town, hoping for a beautiful view from my terrace.
@@stevenduvall2549hey, I'm also looking
My Son has bought a large villa in Cala Honda, about 15 minutes by car from Cala Mijás & he loves the area.
Calahonda is a lovely place! I hope you get to visit and enjoy the beautiful coast too:)
Terrible video, stick with your day job!
So please can you tell me how can I manage all this? Like it is : hotel, transportation etc..
I'm glad to hear you're heading to Spain! For a paid consultation or customized itinerary planning you can email me or message me through my Facebook page for more information.
