I think I'll pre-position in a hut 700m down from ridge (after walking 1400m up from Trevelez and over the other side) and then aim for a traverse in a day (around 50Km). Has anyone done it? I've been visiting the region 1-2 times a year for the past 10 years. Normally hire a bike from here sierranevada.cc but want to hike too this time. I know of the GR-7, the Subida al cristo zapato and cerro del caballo (3011m).

Stayed in a nice place in Orgiva and swam in their (refreshingly cold) pool and explored the Pueblos Blancos. Walked up the side of Mulhacen from Capileira. Would be great to go back one day. Either walking or MTB.
