Inland from the Costa del Sol, the mountains of Ronda and Grazalema
form one of Andalucia's most spectacular and rewarding walking
landscapes. Dramatic limestone peaks, deep river gorges, ancient white
villages perched above terraced hillsides and two UNESCO biosphere
reserves combine to offer a walking experience that is worlds away
from the coast, just an hour or so to the south. With walks suited to
regular walkers of most abilities, this second edition Cicerone
guidebook by Guy Hunter-Watts and Mike Yeatman covers 32 graded routes
across three areas, ranging from 4 to 16km (2 to 10 miles) and taking
between 1 and 5 hours. Routes are paired with 1:50,000 mapping and
downloadable GPX files, with refreshment stops, walking bases, and
access information for each area. 32 graded walks divided across three
areas, covering Ronda and the Sierra de las Nieves, the Genal and
Guadiaro valleys, and the Sierra de Grazalema, with walks graded from
easy to difficult and suited to most regular walkers Ronda, one of
Andalucia's most celebrated towns, is covered with multiple routes,
including the dramatic Ronda Gorge circuit and a historical walk
through the old town, making this the ideal walking companion for any
visit to the city The Sierra de Grazalema, a UNESCO biosphere reserve
and one of the wettest corners of Spain, is described in depth with
routes including the Pinsapar walk through the ancient Spanish fir
forest, the Garganta Verde gorge and the ascent of El Torreón The
Pueblos Blancos, the whitewashed hilltop villages of Zahara de la
Sierra, Grazalema, Gaucín, Benarrabá and their neighbours, serve as
walking bases throughout, each with its own character and history
described in the guidebook 1:50,000 mapping and downloadable GPX files
are provided for every walk, with notes on history, geology, plants
and wildlife and a Spanish-English glossary throughout A long walking
season from mid-September to mid-June makes this a particularly

guidebook is the essential companion for exploring the mountains of
Ronda and Grazalema on foot.
