Cicerone Press Trekking the GR7 in Andalucia: From Tarifa to
Book SynopsisThe GR7 is one of Europe's longest GR long-distance routes, stretching from Tarifa, the southernmost town of continental Europe, through Spain, Andorra and France to Alsace. This guide presents the Andalucian section of the route, which offers well over 700km of fantastic walking through the diverse landscapes of one of Spain's most evocative regions. The route splits at the small village of Villanueva de Cauche, and the guide describes both the northern and southern variants. Although walking is on good footpaths, country tracks and, occasionally, minor roads, some of the stages are long and can involve considerable ascent, meaning that a good level of fitness is required. The full Andalucian GR7 takes well over a month to walk; however, the guide also includes suggestions for highlight sections that can be walked in a week or fortnight. In addition to clear route description, mapping and elevation profiles, the guide provides background information on local history, plants and wildlife, and advice for planning your trip, such as when to go, what to take and where to stay. The route showcases Andalucia's rich history and culture and varied landscapes, which include pine forests, semi-arid desert, snow-capped peaks, fertile plains, lush valleys, olive groves, cultivated terraces and hills of cork woodland. Historic towns and traditional whitewashed villages offer overnight accommodation and a chance to sample local cuisine.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Author's preface Introduction The GR7/E4 Andalucia The GR7 in Andalucia Shorter itineraries Historical context Plants and wildlife When to go Getting there Getting back Luggage transfer Accommodation Food and drink Water Equipment Money Language Waymarking Maps and GPS Staying safe Using this guide The common route Cadiz province Stage 1 Tarifa to Los Barrios Stage 2 Los Barrios to Castillo de Castellar Stage 3 Castillo de Castellar to Jimena de la Frontera Stage 4 Jimena de la Frontera to Ubrique Stage 5 Ubrique to Montejaque via Villaluenga del Rosario Malaga province Stage 6 Montejaque to Arriate via Ronda Stage 7 Arriate to Ardales Stage 8 Ardales to El Chorro Stage 9 El Chorro to Valle de Abdalajis Stage 10 Valle de Abdalajis to Antequera Stage 11 Antequera to Villanueva de Cauche The northern variant Stage 12A Villanueva de Cauche to Villanueva del Trabuco Stage 13A Villanueva del Trabuco to Villanueva de Tapia Stage 14A Villanueva de Tapia to Villanueva de Algaidas Stage 15A Villanueva de Algaidas to Cuevas de San Marcos Cordoba province Stage 16A Cuevas de San Marco to Rute Stage 17A Rute to Priego de Cordoba Stage 18A Priego de Cordoba to Almedinilla Stage 19A Almedinilla to Alcala La Real Jaen province Stage 20A Alcala la Real to Frailes Stage 21A Frailes to Carchelejo Stage 22A Carchelejo to Cambil Stage 23A Cambil to Torres Stage 24A Torres to Bedmar Stage 25A Bedmar to Jodar Stage 26A Jodar to Quesada Stage 27A Quesada to Cazorla Stage 28A Cazorla to Vadillo Castril Stage 29A Vadillo Castril to Coto Rios Stage 30A Coto Rios to Pontones Stage 31A Pontones to Santiago de la Espada Stage 32A Santiago de la Espada to Puebla de Don Fadrique The southern variant Stage 12B Villanueva de Cauche to Riogordo Stage 13B Riogordo to Ventas de Zafarraya Granada province Stage 14B Ventas de Zafarraya to Alhama de Granada Stage 15B Alhama de Granada to Arenas del Rey Stage 16B Arenas del Rey to Jayena Stage 17B Jayena to Albunuelas Stage 18B Albunuelas to Niguelas Stage 19B Niguelas to Lanjaron Stage 20B Lanjaron to Soportujar Stage 21B Soportujar to Pitres Stage 22B Pitres to Trevelez Stage 23B Trevelez to Cadiar Stage 24B Cadiar to Yegen Stage 25B Yegen to Laroles Stage 26B Laroles to Puerto de la Ragua via Bayarcal Stage 27B Puerto de la Ragua to La Calahorra Stage 28B La Calahorra to Narvaez via Charches Stage 29B Narvaez to Zujar Stage 30B Zujar to Benamaurel Stage 31B Benamaurel to Cullar Stage 32B Cullar to Orce Stage 33B Orce to Huescar Stage 34B Huescar to Puebla de Don Fadrique Appendix A Facilities table Appendix B Spanish-English glossary Appendix C Further information Appendix D Further reading

HarperCollins Publishers Remarkable Treks
Book SynopsisRemarkable Treks is a compendium of exhilarating walks from around the planet – some lasting weeks, some lasting just a few days, but all of them set against spectacular backdrops. Following the same format as the award winning Remarkable Road Trips and Remarkable Bike Rides, Colin Salter has assembled 52 of the world's top-rated trails. The treks range in length from one-day hikes, to three-day hikes, to walks of almost expeditionary length. Thankfully, some of the longer routes, such as the Pacific Coast Trail in North America, which traverses the Rockies from Mexico to Canada, can be split up into sections. However for completists there are smaller challengers, such as the Pennine Way in England, which is never too far away from civilization, and by civilization we mean the pub. For the thrill-seeking backpackers there are the craggy peaks of Corsica (GR20 – which carries the ominous warning ‘some scrambling required’), or the hike up to Everest Base Camp. And for history buffs there is the Inca Trail in Peru or the 5-day hike to the Lost City of Teyuna in Colombia. Treks include: Samaria Gorge – Crete, Lycian Way – Turkey, Camino De Santiago – Spain, Routeburn Track – New Zealand, Laugavegur – Iceland, Torres Del Paine – Chile, Overland Track – Australia, Kungsleden – Sweden, West Highland Way – Scotland, John Muir Trail – USA, Alta Via 1 – Italy, Haute Route Pyrennes– Spain/France, Drakensberg Grand Traverse – South Africa, Western Way – Ireland, Via Dinerica – Albania/Bosnia/Croatia/Kosovo, GR221 Dry Stone Route – Majorca, Chilkoot Trail – USA/Canada, Toukbal Circuit – Morocco, Tour of the Matterhorn – Switzerland, Wadi Rum and Petra – Jordan.
