Sunset at 2,500m in Sierra Nevada
Description
If you travel to Granada you cannot miss this unique experience of enjoying the sunset in Sierra Nevada at more than 2,500m altitude. It is an experience that awakens unforgettable emotions and sensations. Walking during sunset along a short path with incredible landscapes and the nature of this unique natural park on the roof of the peninsula is something unforgettable. We leave Granada in a van to travel 39 km to the last point allowed for vehicles in the Sierra Nevada peaks. During this trip we will make some stops to enjoy the scenery. We will arrive at our goal to take a 10-minute walk through a ravine to enjoy the sunset spectacle. With luck we will still be able to see the species that live there, such as the mountain goat, wild horses, the fox or the golden eagle. It is also a place to take great pictures, which we provide you with our professional camera.

Julio was an excellent guide, very informative and very kind. He also took a lot pictures for us! During the trip we make a few stops along the way to admire the mountain views and some goats. We had a short walk to reach the sunset viewpoint and than we admire the beauty of Nature. An amazing 4 hour tour.
We had a wonderful daytrip with Julio took us 3 different viewpts. Each unique on its own While weather was cloudy we still could see the wild and beautiful landscape including native wild animals like horses and mountain goats, thyme bushes etc. Best surprise waiting for us-light snowfall at 2500m and lots of photo memories.
We had a wonderful day trip with Julio, who took us to three different viewpoints — each one unique in its own way. Even though the weather was cloudy, we could still admire the wild and beautiful landscape, including native animals like horses and mountain goats, as well as thyme bushes and other local plants. The best surprise was waiting for us at 2500m: a light snowfall and plenty of unforgettable photo moments. And even though we couldn’t enjoy the sunset as planned, we still had an excellent excursion overall. Truly a memorable experience!
Julio was an excellent tour guide! It didn't take long maybe 45 mins/ hours to get to the top. We stopped to see the reservoir and took more pictures and Julio explained how the rain rushes in winter/February/ March/ April to fill the reservoir. I think it would be very green and lush in May! We also saw many mountain goats and he explained that they would show off their agility in the rutting season. At the top there were again some more AMAZING pictures!! Thank you Julio for a lovely adventure!
A really amazing trip with Julio. Julio kept us updated before the trip (due to dodgy weather conditions), met us and gave us a great experience as advertised. The group nature of the trip is also great for meeting fellow travellers. 10/ 10 would recommend to anybody in Granada. Thanks again! Jon and Walaa
Dear Jon and Walaa, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with Julio and that the trip lived up to your expectations. Keeping everyone informed and comfortable—especially when the weather is unpredictable—is a priority for us, and it's wonderful to know you appreciated that. We're also happy that the group setting added to the fun by connecting you with other travelers. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back to Granada someday for another adventure! All the best,
Julio was a fantastic guide and allowed us plenty of time to take in the views and sunset. We managed to see some wild horses which truly one of the highlights. He kindly stopped on the way back to let us buy some fresh honey! The perfect way to spend our last evening in Granada.
Unforgettable family experience. We're joined by Julio, you endearing professional. Very nice. It's the second activity he's done with him, great.
Julio was so incredibly nice. He is a Brazilian living in Spain which makes for interesting conversation if you ask him about himself. I personally like to hike but this trip was perfect if you have limited time in Granada. It isn’t really a hike but the view is spectacular. Could not stop admiring the snowcapped mountains, the view of the city, and the beautiful sunset.
Excellent trip up into the mountains to get away from city life. Our guide, Julio, was very informative and always keeping his eye out for wildlife. We saw wild horses, mountain goats and a very curious fox. He stopped to let us take pictures and was always willing to take pictures of the group. The mountain top provides terrific views. A chance to see the sunset from 8350 feet. Simply gorgeous!
The views from the mountain were amazing! This tour was the very first thing we did on our trip to southern Spain, and it was wonderful! Our guide, Julio, was kind, charming, and knowledgeable about the area. This is a must see if you are traveling to Granada. We met Julio steps from our hotel, and he drove us to the mountain site to see the sunset. I was concerned about the walking, but it’s not a difficult hike at all! Definitely need to wear appropriate footwear, but well worth it for the gorgeous views. Even though it was somewhat cloudy on the evening we went, we still had a beautiful sunset. We saw mountain goats, sheep, cows, and even a little fox! This experience was a perfect start to our Spain vacation!
Julio our guide for this experience was amazing. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We had a wonderful time and a truly amazing experience.
