Mulhacen is best enjoyed over a 2 day trip staying overnight at the Poqueira hut. This way the mountain can be traversed and a much better experience can be had.
Day one we climb up to the Poqueira Hut at 2500. The walk takes four hours and involves 900m ascent. There we stay the night. The Poqueira Hut is a guarded refuge and has beds, blankets, meals and wine. A great place to spend the night before ascending Mulhacen. Day 2 we follow the Rio Mulhacen before climbing the steep west flank of the mountain. After summiting we return is down the long but easy south ridge. About 8 hours walking with 1000m ascent.
