Walking Routes in Sierra Nevada

As an experienced mountaineer and guide Richard took time to write and document all the routes in the guidebook, With photos of the different hikes throughout the seasons.

This is a useful manual for anyone wanting to explore this fabulous region South of Granada.

As you may know the SIerra Nevada includes the Alpujarra Villages, the ski station and the Mulhacen mountain (highest on Iberian Peninsula) These contrasting landscapes create some very special walks.

An expert in guided walks, this has carefully researched and documented. Inside you´ll find tips on where to stop off along the routes and details on the nature. The guide has plenty of detailed maps and coloured photos. 24 different routes are covered in the 160 pages.

For each route specific distances, average timings and practical information are clear. The summary panel at the beginning of each chapter shows the difficulty level and incline.
