Chullo, Mountain peak in Sierra Nevada, Spain

El Chullo rises to 2612 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in Almeria province with its distinct rocky formations and pine-covered slopes.

The mountain paths around El Chullo have served as livestock migration routes since Roman times, connecting seasonal grazing lands between provinces.

The mountain represents a natural boundary between Granada and Almeria provinces, with local shepherds maintaining traditional grazing practices across its slopes.

Hiking trails to El Chullo summit start at Puerto de la Ragua station at 2041 meters, following marked paths through pine forests for a 9-kilometer round trip.

From the summit, visitors can observe both the Mediterranean coastline of Almeria and the higher peaks of Sierra Nevada in a single panoramic view.
