Walking holidays, tours and vacations in Andalucia (Andalusia), Southern Spain

Through the Sierra de Grazalema to Ronda

A lovely walk in the still unspoilt mountains to the west of Ronda, culminating in two nights in the Moorish cliff-top bastion. Your stays in the fabled white villages, perched on the slopes for defence, are interspersed with glorious hillside walking through the dramatic limestone scenery of the Grazalema National Park. Ibex, eagles and griffon vultures are there for the spotting. Your walk will take you over wild mountainsides and along lush river valleys to Ronda, scene of some of the last battles of the Reconquista.

Total 7 nights in shared room, all breakfasts, luggage transfers and 5 picnics
