Walking in Andalucia
Footloose - 7 Nights/8 Days
This walk is from village to village in the mountainous region of the Alpujarra with its strong Moorish influences, whitewashed villages and wild rugged scenery.
This is an area largely unexplored by outsiders until recently, slightly better known now as the setting for Chris Stewart’s book “Driving Over Lemons”. It is a land of wild flowers, oak and chestnut forests and terraced farms still tilled by mules.
