Climb Description
This climb to Puerto Lobo is convenient in that it begins from the centre of Granada, but it is not one of our favourite climbs in the region.It is not particularly scenic (although there are some nice views of Granada in places), and it is also busier than the routes in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. It is not full of traffic, but there are enough cars that it is a bit bothersome.
As a way of leaving or entering Granada as part of a longer route, Puerto Lobo is OK, but we wouldn't recommend riding it as a stand alone climb.
Puerto Lobo is open year round.
