Trekking in Granada, Andalusia

For those thinking of learning Spanish and hiking in Andalusia the area around Granada often ranks highly as a choice of venues. One of the main attractions of this beautiful area is the wide variety of landscapes that are available within a very short distance. It is an ideal area for combining a Spanish course with walking holidays.
The mountainous Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada National Park offer wonderful views around almost every corner. Here you can select from a wide range of walking challenges from very easy to extremely difficult. The Alpujarras has an interesting history which is today still evident in the Moorish architecture and terraced hillsides that exude a sense of times past. The landscape itself is a series of gorges and surrounding hills with whitewashed villages clinging to the hillside, beneath the imposing Sierra Nevada peaks. The walking routes have been here for centuries. In this area, especially in spring, there is an abundance of flora including vibrant indigenous flowers as well as rare orchids. The groves of olive, almond, orange and lemon trees offer a wide variety of new and ancient trees, some of them hundreds of years old. All year round our school offers guided walks in the afternoons.

On request we provide our students with a selection of wonderful hiking tours. Have a look at our BLOG!
