Inland from the Costa del Sol, the mountains of Ronda and Grazalema form one of Andalucia's most spectacular and rewarding walking landscapes. Dramatic limestone peaks, deep river gorges, ancient white villages perched above terraced hillsides and two UNESCO biosphere reserves combine to offer a walking experience that is worlds away from the coast, just an hour or so to the south.
With walks suited to regular walkers of most abilities, this second edition Cicerone guidebook by Guy Hunter-Watts and Mike Yeatman covers 32 graded routes across three areas, ranging from 4 to 16km (2 to 10 miles) and taking between 1 and 5 hours. Routes are paired with 1:50,000 mapping and downloadable GPX files, with refreshment stops, walking bases, and access information for each area.
- 32 graded walks divided across three areas, covering Ronda and the Sierra de las Nieves, the Genal and Guadiaro valleys, and the Sierra de Grazalema, with walks graded from easy to difficult and suited to most regular walkers
- Ronda, one of Andalucia's most celebrated towns, is covered with multiple routes, including the dramatic Ronda Gorge circuit and a historical walk through the old town, making this the ideal walking companion for any visit to the city
- The Sierra de Grazalema, a UNESCO biosphere reserve and one of the wettest corners of Spain, is described in depth with routes including the Pinsapar walk through the ancient Spanish fir forest, the Garganta Verde gorge and the ascent of El Torreón
- The Pueblos Blancos, the whitewashed hilltop villages of Zahara de la Sierra, Grazalema, Gaucín, Benarrabá and their neighbours, serve as walking bases throughout, each with its own character and history described in the guidebook
- 1:50,000 mapping and downloadable GPX files are provided for every walk, with notes on history, geology, plants and wildlife and a Spanish-English glossary throughout
A long walking season from mid-September to mid-June makes this a particularly appealing destination for winter and spring walking breaks. This guidebook is the essential companion for exploring the mountains of Ronda and Grazalema on foot.

About the Author
Guy Hunter-Watts lived and worked in Andalucía for over 30 years. After studying at the universities of Santiago and Salamanca, he taught English in South America before moving to the Ronda mountains where he led guided walks for almost 25 years. His work as a walking guide and freelance journalist took him to many corners of the planet including India, Namibia, Tanzania, Latin America and Mongolia. Sadly, Guy passed away in 2023.
Mike Yeatman retired from owning several businesses in the UK to live in a mountain village near Ronda in 2020. He has walked, climbed and trekked extensively around the world including adventures in Iceland, Arctic Norway, Sweden, China, Africa, the Alps and North America. Mike previously owned and operated a mountain holiday business in the UK. With his wife, and fellow keen mountaineer, Christine he now lives for part of the year in the French Alps and the rest of the year in the Grazalema national park in Spain.
