    Jaime was a wonderful guide, informative and kind to everyone. He’s clearly a very seasoned hiker / mountaineer, and has the best dog ever by his side with an equal breadth of capability. Even with that, he was able to support the entire group with a range of endurance and skills. The hike itself is no joke, however it is very doable if you have done some hiking with elevation. The terrain is at most minimally technical. Only thing that was a slight hiccup was my partner did not have adequate footwear packed, due to our impression there would be a range of appropriate hiking shoes available. There was only a size 43, too big, but manageable in this case. If you require footwear for rent reach out at least a few days in advance. Overall, fantastic time. Well worth the money. Jaime and Kai make a fantastic pair to guide and encourage people through this journey.

    Picked up right on time by our bright and breezy guide Buitre. The hike was marvelous and the cool breezes a wonderful respite from the heat of the city. Magnificent views, cattle, sheep and mountain goats easily spotted with snow still visible on the upper slopes.. Buitre went at a very manageable pace for our group of 5. Singing and sharing insights on the way he made the day relaxing and fun! A 5 star day.....except for the following: 1. The company state that they hire out hiking boots for 3euro. However, they no longer provide this service. A good pair of strong sneakers will indeed suffice....mine were not so strong and lacked grip. I was hoping to hire boots and contacted the company 2 weeks before the trip to secure them, but my messages were ignored until it was too late and I was already in Spain. 2. The route is not difficult per se, but there are a couple of places where hiking poles are a definite advantage.😉 I was assured that poles would be available FOC for us all. Again, not the case. Buitre kindly lent me his own hiking poles whilst 2 of our group members had to make do with sticks found along the path. Not ideal, especially if you like the security and balance that poles afford. I would suggest poles be provided as standard procedure for all, and that the boot hire option be removed from the company information if the service is no longer provided. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you Buitre for a lovely day!!

    Jaime (along with his gorgeous dog Kai) was a fantastic guide! The hike was slightly challenging at points but well worth it for the views at the summit. 10/10 would highly recommend, thanks Jaime!

    I went on the hike for my 30th birthday. I always like to go somewhere with nice landscape and have an opportunity to meet other travellers. The views were breathtaking, but what made the trip even better was Jaime our tour guide and his dog, Kai. Jaime gave excellent local information and is an experienced hiker. He also took photos for us. Thank you Jaime and Kai. I highly recommend this trip!

    A great way to spend a day exploring the Sierra Nevada. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Jamie and his team were excellent taking us on a hike we would have never managed to find or conduct ourselves. His trusty adorable dog Kai was the perfect co-navigator and source of much entertainment. It's a moderate hike and there were different abilities in the group but Jamie ensured that the pace was right for everyone and no-one was left straggling behind. His knowledge of the local plant and wildlife coupled with the history of the Sierra Nevada was second to none.

    Sierra Nevada

    Sierra Nevada, or Sulayr, Mountain of the Sun as it was called by the Muslims, rises up between the provinces of Granada and Almeria like a giant and compact massif with fifteen peaks of over 3,000 metres, including the Mulhacén (3,482 metres), the highest point on the Iberian Peninsula. After being collected from your accommodation in Granada, you will be driven to 2,500 meters above sea level to the top of the Sierra Nevada Road. From here you will head to the most beautiful glacier valley of Sierra Nevada, San Juan Valley. Here you will learn how the ice has been excavating the rocks throughout thousand of years. You will also encounter beautiful lakes, waterfalls, and shiny rocks, as well as wildlife such as mountain goats, eagles, birds migrating from Africa, and insects and plants that only exist here.
