Whether Hiking In Spain, Enjoying Guided Walking Holidays Or Taking A Hiking Tour Of Spain.......You Get The Ideal Choice of Terrain In The Granada ProvinceFor those thinking of hiking in Spain, enjoying guided walking holidays or taking part in a hiking tour of Spain the area around Granada often ranks highly as a choice of venues.
The orange and lemon groves of the Lecrin Valley offer their uniqe scent, only rivalled by the almond groves when their flowers give off a rich hyacinth type perfume. The mountainous Alpujarras and Sierra Nevadas offer wonderful views around almost every corner when hiking in Spain. Here you can select from a wide range of guided walking challenges from very easy to extremely difficult. And, as a real contrast, the rolling lands of the Vega of Granada, and further south, the lake at Bermejales are well worth exploring as part of all walking holidays and any hiking tour of Spain. 
In this area, ideal for hiking in Spain - especially in spring, there is an abundance of flora including vibrant indigenous flowers as well as rare orchids. The groves of olive, almond, orange and lemon trees offer a wide variety of new and ancient trees, some of them hundreds of years old.

Look below and make your choice.To help you make your selection of walks for those who enjoy hiking Spain, each walk has been given a grading between 1 and 5. A grading of 1 is very easy and a grading of 5 is very challenging. Half Day WalksWalk To The Ermita Del Santo Christo Del ZapatoThis walk follows a winding route up through the pines at Pinos Del Valle. Visit the charming Ermita (shrine), which is clearly visible way above the road to the coast. At 1059 metres (nearly 3,500 feet) the views acrss the Lecrin Valley are spectacular. To get up there is a bit of an uphill slog (about 40 to 50 minutes) but it is well worth it for the views at the top. In June or July this walk can be timed so that the normally spectacular sunset (see photo below) can be enjoyed from the high viewpoint. This is hiking in Spain at its best. Meet at the Harlequin in Talara at 10.00 a.m. or as advised for the sunset walk and then be driven to the village of Pinos Del Valle to the start of the walk.
