The 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.
