Pico de Torrecilla

If you’re craving a walk that feels like a proper adventure, the Pico de Torrecilla hike delivers in a big way.

This is the highest peak in the Sierra de las Nieves, standing tall at 1,919 metres and offering the kind of views that make you stop mid-step and say wow. The routes up are varied and scenic, winding through ancient forests, rocky mountain paths and wide-open landscapes that feel gloriously wild. It’s challenging, yes – but in the very best way.

Expect steep sections, especially near the top, and terrain that keeps things interesting underfoot. Good boots, a bit of fitness and a sense of determination go a long way here. The final ascent is tough… and then suddenly you’re there. Summit reached. Views for days!
