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.
Our walking holidays in Andalucia are the perfect 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).
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. You could explore the desert-like landscapes of Almería; the chestnut-clad Aracena Sierra near Seville; or the mountains surrounding famous Ronda.
Choosing the right walking holiday in Andalucia
Our walking holidays in Andalucia cater for all levels (see our grading system below), from easy walking in the Aracena Sierra to the demanding but rewarding routes offered by our walking holiday, White Towns & Rugged Mountains. For a choice of routes of different levels, choose a centre-based walking holiday, such as The Grazalema Sierra.
Grade 1
These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2
You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2
Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
Grade 2-3
Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
Grade 3
Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
Flexible
Our flexible walking holidays give you a choice of routes each day, some of which are easier than others, so you can select the one that’s right for you on the day. This flexibility also makes these holidays perfect for anyone who is unsure of their level, or for groups of friends or family who want to enjoy a walking holiday together, but who may not all be at the same fitness level.
