What is this blog about?

This blog is for all residents and visitors to the Almuñécar region who want to find out more about the area. It features walks, strolls and drives...places to visit for a day out which you may not find in a guide book. You may want to share your favourite places or walks with others - just post your comments or contributions and keep visiting to find out more.

Labels help you choose the walks or drives by keyword. The Blog Archive shows you all the walks on the site by name, filed in the months they were added to the site.
All walks can be printed out (as .pdf files) and there are Google maps (also printable) to guide you on your way.

Alhambra alternative?


When you travel up to the Alhambra on the road to the car park, take the first turning to the right and drive through the top car park - travel through to the last roundabout and take a right turn up the road that goes past the cemetary.
This road leads up into a country park area above the Alhambra. There are walking trails and picnic areas, and lots of views to the Sierra Nevada and down to the barranco that goes up behind SacraMonte. The road is tarmac in places, occasionally concrete of just a rough trail - but easy to access in any vehicle.
