★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,466 reviews · from $85Our pick

Join a small group of up to eight people for a 7-hour 4x4 trip from Granada into the Sierra Nevada. Guides such as Jaime and Daud lead you along Moorish trails, Roman mining country, and quiet mountain tracks, with time for easy walks, views of Mulhacen, and a drink at 2500 metres.

“Jaime was an excellent guide. He drove very well. Jaime was interesting and funny, and he took good care of us. The mountain views were incredible. There was more hiking if you liked, and only a little if you preferred not too. Apparently there is also a tour with more hiking that shows up later down the list. Highly recommended.”
