Walking holidays in Andalucia / Andalusia

On a non-group, self-guided walking holiday in Andalucia, we provide maps and our carefully researched route notes, so that you can walk from one hotel of character to the next while your luggage is transported, or explore from a single base – always at a pace that suits you.

Walking holidays in Andalucia –

see the region up close

Our walking holidays in Andalucia – in keeping with our Slow holiday philosophy – are a means of discovering the region up close. Our meticulously planned routes (described in easy-to-follow notes) allow plenty of time to take in your surroundings. And because there’s no group, no arrangements to make (we do all that), and no luggage to worry about, you can make impromptu stops to watch a griffon vulture, learn about Andalucia’s Moorish roots, or to explore a pueblo blanco (white town).

The best walking in Andalucia

Which corner offers the best walking in Andalucia (Andalusia) will depend on the scenery you like to explore because, when it comes to walking, Andalucia’s variety rivals that of some small countries. Walking in the Alpujarras, for example, on the Sierra Nevada’s southern slopes, is a magical experience full of surprises. Or you may prefer to explore the desert-like landscapes of Almería; the chestnut-clad Aracena Sierra near Seville; or the mountains surrounding famous Ronda.
