A lot of walking can be done from here without the need to use your car. Having a car is a great advantage to see much more of the area. Plenty shops/bars/cafes with excellent tapas. Enjoy your stay in this unique small town. Fraser.</p> I found the village of Pitres excellent as a base for this beautiful mountainous area of Spain.

It should be beautiful, though! And you should find other hiker/climbers in the area to speak with, once you’re there.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Would I be able to do the highest mountain Mulhacen using Pitres as a base and would I need to take crampons/ice axe etc? Advices would be appreciated. Thanking you.
