General<\/strong> description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sierra Nevada (snowy mountain range, in Spanish) is a massif oriented east-west. It was formed at the same time as the Alps during the collision of the African and Eurasian plates. Pico del Veleta ( 3396 m ) is the third highest Spanish peak and is located at the western end of the range, above the city of Granada. The \u201chighest road in Europe\u201d (the title is disputed!) climbs almost to the top. A few satellite cols add to the cycling appeal of Pico del Veleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
