Views from Poqueira refuge

We take the path that leads to the Mulhacén that comes out on the left hand side. After one kilometre we take the turn-off to Siete Lagunas marked on a stone.

On the road

Half a kilometre later we approach the Peñón Negro to enjoy the views of the Trevélez valley. We continue along the path until we descend to the bivouac shelter of Laguna Hondera.

From here we can climb the dog's arse hill or the Colaero to the Alcazaba peak. We return along the same path. Spectacular.
