17.2 x 11.6 x 1.3cm From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic through the Baetic
Mountains Devised with the aim of linking the two great seas that cradle
Andalucía, the Andalucian Coast to Coast Walk crosses the heart of southern
Spain, from the small Mediterranean village of Maro to Bolonia beach on the
Atlantic seaboard, a day's walk from the bustling port of Tarifa. A
village-to-village walk, the 416km trail follows the Penibetic mountain range
across the provinces of Málaga, Granada and Cádiz, passing through six beautiful
Natural Parks and visiting some of the region's most picturesque and
characterful towns and villages. This guide presents the waymarked route in 21
day stages, each with clear route description and mapping and notes on the
villages and other local points of interest. You'll find all the practical
information needed to plan and execute a successful trip, with advice on when to
go, transport, accommodation and food. Useful contacts and a Spanish-English
glossary can be found in the appendices. Boasting magnificent mountain scenery,
charming villages and a rich and fascinating history, it is little surprise that
Andalucía has long been popular with visitors. The Andalucian Coast to Coast
Walk showcases the vibrant culture and enchanting landscapes for which the
region is famed: it takes in mountain views and dramatic gorges, flower-strewn
valleys and cultivated fruit groves, with highlights including Moorish Ronda,
Roman ruins at Bolonia and the traditional 'pueblos blancos' (white villages).
