Rewarding walking in Andalucía to suit all levels
When it comes to walking, Andalucía (Andalusia) has few equals – its variety rivals that of some small countries. It boasts mainland Spain’s highest mountain range as well as some of the country’s most secluded beaches (washed by its warmest waters), with glorious cork-oak-clad hills in between. Walking in the Alpujarras, for example, on the Sierra Nevada’s southern slopes, is a magical experience full of surprises as you explore the remote hills and valleys brought evocatively to life by Chris Stewart’s series of novels. Do not neglect, either, the desert-like landscapes of Almería, the chestnut-clad Aracena Sierra near Seville, or the mountains surrounding famous Ronda. Wherever you choose, you will encounter an enticing blend of Spanish and Moorish cultures which is reflected in both the cuisine and the architecture, adding an extra dimension to your walking holiday in Andalucía.
