About
- Pico del Lucero or Raspón de los Moriscos, 1,779 m, one of the emblematic summits of the Natural Park
- At the top are the remains of a Guardia Civil post linked to the period of the maquis (guerrillas) after the Civil War
- In clear weather it offers wide views of the Mediterranean, Sierra Nevada and La Maroma
Good to know
- The Natural Park's official information warns of a risk of falling on the final stretch because of the steep slope, especially in rain, snow, ice, wind or fog
- Treat it as a demanding mountain route and check conditions before setting out
