Description
The landscape and the journey
Guy Hunter-Watts and Mike Yeatman reveal cliffs, river gorges, woods and ridges beyond Andalucía’s promenades. Plan occasional excursions from a coastal resort or build an entire holiday around varied walking days.
Routes and itinerary options
The 40 routes cover 6–20 kilometres across Costa de la Luz, Costa del Sol, Costa Tropical and Costa de Almería. Tarifa, Marbella, Estepona and Cabo de Gata provide reference points, with options from easier circuits to longer days involving significant ascent.
Maps and practical planning
1:50,000 maps, detailed descriptions and Cicerone GPX files accompany access, bases and food-stop information, helping fit walks around accommodation and the rest of the holiday. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Easy to moderate or demanding grades include steep sections. Assess experience and ascent as well as kilometres. Mild coastal conditions offer many seasons, but summer heat remains important. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
