Walking the GR7 in Andalucia: From Tarifa to Puebla de Don Fadrique (Cicerone Guides)

This comprehensive guidebook to trekking the GR7 through Andalucía in southern Spain describes about 60 days of walking, covering both the northern fork of the route, through Córdoba and Jaén (34 to 41 days in total), and the southern fork (35 to 42 days), through Almería and Granada. Both routes finish at Puebla de don Fadrique. An epic 1183km route through olive groves and pine forests, over desert plateaus and past snow-capped peaks, the GR7 crosses seven natural parks as well as the Sierra Nevada national park, home to Mulhacén, mainland Spain's highest mountain. Alongside the stunning scenery, the GR7 is a also a cultural and historical treat. As the southernmost part of Spain, this area has long been a melting pot of European and African culture, with many momentos of Arab rule from Berber villages to mighty castles. All the information walkers will need to plan their trek is included here - facilities in every town and village passed through are listed, alongside historical and cultural insights and an English-Spanish glossary of walking terms is also included. Stage maps use official IGN mapping.
