Stories, information and comments from alto de Monachil climbers

Story by Gary Williams from granada, Spain, submitted on 24/10/2009

A tough climb and another way of getting to the Pico Veleta. You can start the climb from Granada city and head out towards Monachil where the climb starts with some steep hairpins but the real kick is at the top with a 500m leg burner. Crest the top and drop down a bit before carrying on to the Veleta.
