Sunrise over Africa. Mulhacen from Trevelez
The unsurpassed views as the sun rises from the summit of Mulhacen can be enjoyed by putting in the bulk of the 2000 metre climb up from Trevelez, the previous evening.
The stopping point is a simple Bivouac at the refuge at Laguna Hondera. This leaves a tough hike up just over 500 metres in altitude across rocky ground to the peak of Mulhacen before daybreak the following day.
Inspirational is the only way to describe the views as shafts of light illuminate the Med and the African coast far off in the South.
