Pico del Caballo, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada, Spain
Pico del Caballo stands at an elevation of 3,011 meters, forming the westernmost peak of the three-thousanders in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The mountain served as a natural barrier during various conflicts throughout Spanish history, including the period of Moorish rule in the Granada region.
Local mountaineering groups maintain a network of traditional trails and bivouac shelters around Pico del Caballo, preserving access for future generations.
The ascent requires crampons and ice axes during winter months, while summer climbing demands substantial water supplies due to limited natural sources.
From the summit, visitors can observe both the Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent peaks of Veleta, Mulhacén, and Alcazaba on clear days.
