The Sunflower Andalucia guide is indispensable for hiking in Andalucia or seeing Andalucia by car. This guidebook to walking in Andalucía captures the very essence of this most evocative part of Spain. An ever-changing landscape awaits your discovery whether you are driving or hiking ― from the ‘white villages’ and ancient towns to the never-ending sierras, razor-sharp gorges and gentle verdant valleys. Since many people will explore Andalucía by car, most of the treks are circular. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable Andalucia holiday.

The guide is intended as an introduction to the south-central part of Andalucia. The tours and walks fan out from the Costa del Sol - east to Granada and the Sierra Nevada, and west to Ronda and the Sierra de Grazalema. Most walks are concentrated within specific areas: the Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, Axarquía, Parque Natural Montes de Malaga, Sierra de Mijas, Sierra de las Nieves and Sierra de Grazalema.
