Before you can enjoy a hike in Andalusia, you must first tackle the Holy Trinity: Granada, Seville and Cordoba. So many unforgettable wonders frozen by time in these testimonies of refinement and cohabitation between Muslim, Catholic and Jewish peoples! Discovering the splendours of the Alhambra, the Mezquita and the Alkázar Reales is of course the first route for any visitor to southern Spain. The opportunity to stroll through the alleys of the typical medinas, to appreciate the charm of Santa Cruz, to smell the scents of the lush gardens of the Generalife or Maria Luisa Park and to follow in the footsteps of the three great cultures that have shaped its history and heritage. But if Seville, Cordoba and Granada remain unavoidable cities, this vast territory of legend, at the gateway to Africa, has much more to offer.
Due to all its particular geographical characteristics, Andalusia offers travellers a wide range of natural resources, including preserved paradises such as the Sierra Nevada and Donaña national parks, which combine pine forests and lagoons, as well as a large number of natural parks where nature tourism is king. And Andalusia is really a paradise for hiking, whether on foot, horseback, mountain bike, etc. In the sierras of Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas (Jaén), Aracena (Huelva), Subbéticas (Córdoba) and Grazalema (Cadiz), to name but a few, have been developed marked routes and routes. And from the simple walker to the experienced mountaineer, there is something for everyone. While there is no shortage of cross roads and small passes in an area the size of Portugal, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada there are also the two highest peaks of the peninsula: the Mulhacén (3,481 m) and the Veleta (3,398 m), surrounded by a first-class national park. A unique opportunity to tackle the "roof of Spain" and enjoy a breathtaking view of such a rich region.
