Sulayr Trail - GR 240.
Sulayr —the mountain of the sun— is what the Arabs call Sierra Nevada and it is the name chosen for the longest circular trail in Spain. The 300-km loop through the Sierra Nevada National Park and the Sierra Nevada Natural Park is divided up into 19 stages where you will discover the beauty and uniqueness of its scenery and its villages. The paths, lanes and livestock trails along which it runs are connected with other facilities for public use, such as the El Dornajo Visitor Centre or the La Cortijuela Botanical Garden, which will allow you to further your knowledge of the area.
Sulayr is built around the basic network of paths in Sierra Nevada and, beyond utilitarian concepts, it is a symbol of union, of alliance between a Natural Park and a National Park, of a meeting of two provinces, six regions and sixty municipalities, of an encounter between man and mountain.
