Walking
The Mountains of Ronda and Grazalema
Grazalema and La Sierra de las Nieves Natural Parks, Genal and Guadiaro valleys
Guidebook to walking in the mountains of Ronda and Grazalema in Andalucía, southern Spain. The 32 graded routes range from 4 to 16km and explore the Natural Parks of Grazalema and La Sierra de las Nieves, the 'Pueblos Blancos' (White Villages) perched high in the mountains, and the Genal and Guadiaro river valleys.
Ronda, one of Europe's most dramatically situated towns, lies between two of Andalucia's most beautiful protected areas: the Natural Parks of La Sierra de las Nieves and La Sierra de Grazalema, both UNESCO biosphere reserves.
Whilst travellers have been visiting since the 1850s, it's only recently that they've begun to explore the exquisite network of footpaths that cut through these majestic sierras.
Dramatic limestone peaks, fertile river valleys, ancient groves of almonds and olives: the great natural beauty of this area won't fail to impress.
Edition 2018 - paperback (17,2 x 11,5 cm) - 221 pages
