Walking in Andalucia: 36 routes in Andalucia's Natural Parks

by Guy Hunter-Watts

Overview

A guidebook to 36 walks in the natural and national parks of Spain’s Andalucía region. Graded by difficulty from easy strolls to strenuous mountain hikes, there are routes to suit both beginner and more experienced walkers alike.

They are split between six diverse areas based on the six parks: Aracena, Grazalema, Los Alcornocales, La Axarquía (the coastal plain around Nerja, just south of the Almijara), Las Alpujarras (in the Sierra Nevada) and Cazorla.
