Guidebook to the Andalucian section of the GR7 long-distance hiking trail in Spain, from Tarifa to Puebla de Don Fadrique. Includes a northern route via Cordoba Province and a southern route via Granada Province. The whole 1225km trail takes 34-42 days to complete but can be split into shorter sections.
The GR7 is one of Europe's longest GR long-distance routes, stretching from Tarifa, the southernmost town of continental Europe, through Spain, Andorra, and France to Alsace. This guide presents the Andalucian section of the route, which offers well over 700km of fantastic walking through the diverse landscapes of one of Spain's most evocative regions. The route splits at the small village of Villanueva de Cauche, and the guide describes both the northern and southern variants. Although walking is on good footpaths, country tracks, and, occasionally, minor roads, some of the stages are long and can involve considerable ascent, meaning that a good level of fitness is required. The full Andalucian GR7 takes well over a month to walk; however, the guide also includes suggestions for highlight sections that can be walked in a week or fortnight.
In addition to clear route description, mapping, and elevation profiles, the guide provides background information on local history, plants, and wildlife, and advice for planning your trip, such as when to go, what to take, and where to stay.
The route showcases Andalucia's rich history and culture and varied landscapes, which include pine forests, semi-arid desert, snow-capped peaks, fertile plains, lush valleys, olive groves, and cultivated terraces, and hills of cork woodland. Historic towns and traditional whitewashed villages offer overnight accommodation and a chance to sample the local cuisine.
