Mulhacén, Summit of Sierra Nevada range in Granada, Spain
The peak reaches an elevation of 3,482 meters, making it the highest mountain in mainland Spain and the Iberian Peninsula.
The mountain bears the name of Abu l-Hasan Ali, the penultimate Muslim ruler of Granada during the 15th century, who according to local tales rests at its peak.
The summit serves as a meeting point for mountaineers from different nations who gather to climb its varied faces and experience Spanish mountain traditions.
Climbers can access the mountain through four primary routes starting from Granada city, Sierra Nevada Ski Station, and the villages of Capileira and Trevelez.
The north face contains multiple climbing lines, including the Canuto Central, which presents a 300-meter vertical ascent combining snow, ice, and rock surfaces.
