Walking in Andalucia
An eight-day walking holiday through the rural heart of Andalucía, from the Sierra de Grazalema to the boardwalks of the Caminito del Rey and the summit views of the Peñón de Algámitas. A private minibus ferries you between trailheads so each day is about the walking, not the driving.
About this tour
This is a proper walking holiday, not a sightseeing tour with a stroll attached. Over eight days you'll hike a series of rural routes based around Algámitas and Villanueva de San Juan, explore the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, visit the Caños Santos Monastery and the cave houses of Setenil, and tackle standout walks including the Caminito del Rey and the climb up the Peñón de Algámitas. There's also a free day in Seville to rest tired legs. A private minibus links the walking sections, a guide leads the routes, and support is offered in Spanish, English and French. Given the daily distances and terrain, it's best for fit, experienced walkers; it welcomes children from age 8 (no infants) and starts at €2,200. The tour page details daily distances and ascent.
