Walking in Spain

Where we walk - Click on a region

Andalucian Adventures began by running walking holidays in Spain and grew from the John Brough’s love of searching out the rural heart of the country.

This philosophy of getting deep into the core of the places we visit is as strong today, wherever we go. What continues to be special about Spain is the wealth of variety and contrasts it offers across (or even within!) its different regions.

Be it history, culture, food, wine, landscape or flora and fauna, Spain's extraordinary diversity is what keeps us - and so many of our guests - coming back again and again. The one constant wherever we go however, is the warmth and hospitality of our Spanish hosts and their pleasure in sharing their region with us.

Each of our three walking holidays in Andalucia offers something quite unique.

The Alpujarras gives drama in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Here villages cling to the sides of the gorges and wherever you walk you find the memories of the Moors.

Grazalema is famed for its Pueblos Blancos or white villages, its limestone peaks and the exceptional flora and bird life.

Subbética, with its timeless villages is where Andalucian Adventures was born. In the ten years that we have brought guests to walk these hills, they remain as unspoiled now as when we began.

Catalonia is very different and our guided walking holidays here offer another view of Spain. Catalan cooking is world-renowned and you will work up an appetite walking through the little known region of Montsant with dramatic views and villages steeped in history and legend. Few people know that the wine of Priorat is considered by some to be the best in Spain. Our walks weave in and out of these vineyards – the paths that is not the walkers!
