La Polarda
La Polarda is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.143m (7,030ft) above the sea level located in Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, in Southern Spain. It’sone of the highest roads of the country.
The road to the summit, located within the Sierra Nevada National Park, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Thunderstorm activity can quickly change unpaved roads to four-wheel-drive condition or make them impassable. At the summit there’s a mountain refuge.
