Our walking holidays
in Spain
are based in
the Serranía de Ronda, a beautiful area of Andalusia situated
just outside Ronda
and less
than two hours from Malaga,
the nearest airport.
The Serranía de Ronda
is probably one of the best areas for walking in Spain, with 2 National Parks
and the Alto Genal Valley close by. Between its dramatic limestone outcrops and
its Oak and Sweet Chestnut woodlands stretching as far as the eye can see,
its rugged mountains and its valley meadows, the
Serranía de Ronda
offers a myriad of gorgeous footpaths of different levels of difficulty
ranging from easy to intermediate.
This area is stunning all
year round but excels in Spring where everywhere is lush and ablaze with colours from
hundreds of varieties of wild flowers:
Sweet-pea, Lupin, Field gladiolus, Periwinkle, Poppy, Love-in-a-mist, Orchid,
Iris...
Wildlife also abounds
in Spring
and is especially thriving with butterflies
(Swallowtail,
Scarce Swallowtail, Morocco Orange Tip, Small Tortoise Shell, Cleopatra...),
migrating birds (Bee-eater,
Hoopoe,
Night jar,
Booted Eagle, Short-toed Eagle...), and the magnificent resident birds of prey
such as Griffon Vultures and Golden Eagles...
We will also walk in the Alpine National Park 'La Sierra de las
Nieves', a walking paradise situated close by, where a rare native type of Pine called
Pinsapo grows. You will enjoy amazing views
over the Genal valley,
Ronda, and in clear days, over the Costa del Sol, Gibraltar and Africa.
Probably one of the best areas for walking in Spain, with an incredible
variety of scenery! Many typical Pueblos blancos
and sites of interest such as Ronda to visit nearby too!
