From Malaga to Sierra Nevada in Granada

There are two ways to reach Sierra Nevada from Malaga. One runs inland, on the Highway A-72. It is a very entertaining journey, slowly increasing in altitude, as we move away from the coast and the lush subtropical vegetation. After the mountain pass "Las Pedrizas" nearly 800 metres above sea level, before our eyes open vast spaces of mountains and countryside, only occasionally punctuated by country houses and large olive groves.
