Elorrieta SHELTER
is seen and found that when the heat in Granada, there is nothing better to crush a good tour of the high peaks of Sierra Nevada. And my witness that made the 15th day Sunday, July 16th day of the Virgen del Carmen, at 8:15 am when we started this route in the area of \u200b\u200bHostels - Hoya de la Mora to 2,500 m. altitude, the point where we parked the car because it will not let you upload more than four wheels and engines uphill, to go to the Refuge Elorrieta, who at 3,197 m. is the highest in Spain, owing its name to a former Director General of Forests, Mr. Octavio Elorrieta. Shelter that was built between 1931 and 1933 under an ambitious project (had a generator for lighting, heating and water system), but because of the weather (strong winds in winter and temperatures contrasts summer), the passage of time and the hand of man, which happened all dry like a horse Attila, I have left on the sorry state it is today. Constructively speaking consists of two parts, a domed outside and a rock-cut where there are several galleries. Total

that once again we turn to the legs to lead us, as the law of the walking boss, a loose leg and one eye on the Veleta (with an eye on the north face court seems that we playing with his hands) and now SE direction. We continue along the path that goes across the road several times after leaving behind the cairn Wheat (old observatory) and the Monument Virgen de las Nieves, we reached a crossroads, Area Cauchiles call. To our left would climb to the Veleta and right, which is what we take, to the ski resort of Borreguiles.
Shortly after taking the paved road to the left leaves a trail well marked and direction S.SE. and a gentle climb, gaining altitude gradually leads, passing first between a high wooden fences, to the ski station of the Borreguiles.
Reaching the first ski, a little sheepish look, is the source of the river Monachil (a few frills) and stones running down, for once tubing, going to the track River and head Pradollano Station, where he will collect the toll of human contamination. But hey, we just passed by and greet so as to encourage him what was coming. We are located at the beginning of the Dílar Hill and Loma de la Mojonera.
With an eye to the Collado de las Yeguas (white left behind Observatory and the latest high wooden fences), we went to him, if winter trying not to interfere with skiers (the that we / they bring) and cross the tracks diagonally between artificial snow cannons and below some chairlifts today and see that they were working to bring people to the highest clouds.
From this point, the mares del Collado, and we spent about an hour from start to meet, take a wide track, which begins with a gentle descent, and a quarter of an hour leads directly to the Laguna de las Mares, where the hand of man has become more of a reservoir for its own use and example of what not to do ever have with nature (as shooting him at close range I mean.) But today was cleaner waste than the last time we visited, back in May 21, which also must be said if We were listening party responsible. Before coming to the Laguna de las Mares, first crossed the tracks of the "Trout" and "Borreguiles" and an outpouring of crystal clear: the birth of Dílar river.

then and now in this pond, after taking breath, a sip of water, some energy supplies and those snapshots obliged, southward climb up a steep trail, which runs between Cascajal, to arrive, after another fifteen minutes, the Lagunillas of the Virgin, where its waters now reflected to the high Tajos of the Virgin (in these Tajos have appeared the Virgin of the Snows on 5 August 1717 to benefit from Valor and his servant). These pits are located in the Circus Dílar on the remains of an ancient and magnificent glacier, showing here a characteristic specimen of the moraine landscape. We left the Lagunillas
our left to attack by a marked path that, after a continuous weaving and saving at some point some of those thick Tajos fallen rock in the gravel pit area known as the Friar of Capileira , so called because his silhouette is visible from this location alpujarreña leaves us in the Refuge Elorrieta, after an hour's walk from the Lagunillas of the Virgin, and is located in the Nevero Cuts at the beginning of the Loma de Canar. Shelter that was destroyed during the English Civil War and rebuilt by the EMF which was transferred and which, incidentally, has no such minimum labor necessary for normal maintenance operation. Anyway, now go get the direct responsibility that would convince him to give at least five thousand coats of paint, one on the outside and the rest inside. Because if we speak of Ferrovial, of works, to return what the vandals ripped off (because that is another, that after we complain ...)
But if we avert our eyes from the refuge, from this elevation of three thousand, the views are spectacular. Bottom right, we can see the head of the Valley Lake Lanjarón with the same name in its infancy, beyond the fund Bolaños and Laguna Square, all providers Lanjarón River. They also highlight the high peaks of the Carthusian Tozal (3152 m) and Upper Cuts (about 3,100 m) to fund the Cerro del Caballo (3,005 m) have the Tajos front of Male, a great name and as well as Loma view Spike and Teatino Meadows. If we rotate the view to the left, we find the majestic Mulhacén (with its 3,482 m) and the summit of Veleta (3394 m) and newly raised, including Vacares strut, standing on tiptoe and as if to show their heads.
The truth is that Sierra Nevada without white pearl is different (to the snow I mean), but it continues to be less beautiful. His majesty remains and that compliment is what renews us to attack a thousand times, and up and up to pay those honors they deserve.
For wildlife, it sighted yet another group of mountain goats, and flora, as always, first-person highlighting the Star of the Snow, and that part of the Lagunillas borreguiles of the Virgin where flowering was everywhere.
's return can do for the same road that brought us (which is what we take), or through the edge of the Virgin Tajos to head to the Refuge Carihuela or "cylinder" and from there to the shelters, although I must say that this version is a bit more difficult because in some places there to lend a hand even to the fingers. Not to mention the added difficulty of winter snow and ice, the worth keeping the respect they deserve, to give this another example of that nature is so generous as a creditor. But I always enjoy it, from head to toe that's about it. And if not, see the 19 th we had about 13:30 hours on our return to the lodge where we had a beer as cold as a blonde and it tasted heavenly glory, here already, with his feet on the ground. And so you know, it was only one and half, which removes white hen-points are flying.
As always leave some photos to remember and if anyone wants to continue these humble steps. And if you serve something ... because we had a few beers in a collision and the debt will be repaid immediately.
