  • Hiking in Spain. We traveled to Southern Spain on a road trip and hiked 8 of the best hiking trails in Andalusia (Andalucia). It is very diverse, and so is our list of the hiking trails - each one is the best in its own category and they showcase the wild and naked nature of the Spanish South. These hidden gems are spread out through all of Andalusia, starting from Almeria in the East to the National Park of Sierra Grazalema in the West. This video includes also some travel tips and where to park your car at the trailheads.
    Two out of the eight trails require a reservation in advance:
    - The Caminito del Rey trail which has also an entrance fee. Tickets can be purchased for guided group tours which costs 18 EUR, or a single visit without guide for 10 EUR. We preferred the unguided tour, but there's a daily limit of 10 tickets in this category, and our dates was fully booked already. So we had to buy the guided tour tickets, but we ended up without the group as you can see in the video.
    - And the Garganta Verde trail which is for free but requires a permit that you can get by sending them an email to cvelbosque.amaya@reservatuvisita.es. They have several trails, so include the following information in your email:
    "I would like to apply for a permit for 2 persons:
    Name: ...
    Passport number: ...
    How many people going on the walk: ...
    Date: ...
    Walk: La Garganta Verde"

    We were in Andalusia a few days ago. We did the same hike near Grazalema. I'd say we were prepared quite well and I use to go for mountain hiking quite often and I'm practicing rock climbing too. But guess what, my wife started to panic as well. It started while crossing a huge and steep plate. It was so bad that we had to return back and doing 3/4 of the hike again in the opposite direction. I really felt guilty because it was so stressful for her and she couldn't enjoy the hike and the beautiful nature anymore. I really recommend doing the hike in the opposite direction starting from the chaple. The path is more obvious in these passages instead of doing it downhill. Or going up to the rock arc and the same way back. For me it was pure pleasure from a hiking perspective, but it was definitively not easy dealing with someone starting to panic in such exposed terrain. I need to take care about this in the future or watching your reports first 😅

      Andalusia can be done in spring or fall. In summer, it may be superhot there.

    Fantastic!! I have done all of these hikes apart from Grazalema (although I have done other hikes there) and Garganta Verde which I can never seem to coordinate my time with available permits. There are many other great hikes I recommend like Rio Borosa, Cazorla and Vereda De La Estrella, Granada. I feel glad that I live here and have these awesome places on my doorstep especially El Torcal where I live in Antequera. 🤗👏🏿🙏🏿❤️

    Superbes images filmées avec le drone, cela donne l'impression de voler comme un oiseau. Ainsi, nous avons une vision globale et bien différente du randonneur qui évolue au sol, et ne découvre que le paysage qui est devant lui, au bout de son nez... Depuis la France, je visite et randonne beaucoup dans une autre belle région d'Espagne, l'Aragon ou tu as fait une autre belle vidéo (Faja Racon & Tozal del Mallo). Merci pour le partage et je pense aller voir les lieux que tu proposes dans cette vidéo très inspirante.

    Impression, bitte there are many more exciting regions in Andalusia. So Cabo de Gata, Sierra Nevada, Rio Tinto, Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas and perhaps most of All el Desierto de Gorafe, a Desert/ Canyon Region more impressive and colorful than rhe Tabernas, also called Geoparque Granada, situated between several high mountain regions and the small cities Guadix. and Baza. You shouldn't miss that!
