A guidebook to 32 day walks in and around the coastal town of Nerja, Spain. Exploring the mountains, gorges and white mountain villages of the Sierras Tejeda and Almijara and Alhama Natural Park in southern Andalucia, there are routes for walkers of all levels of fitness and experience.
The walks are graded by difficulty and range from 3–22km (2–14 miles) in length, covering 110–1420m of ascent and taking between 1hr 30min and 7hr 30min to complete.
Jim Ryan is a chartered civil engineer with a passion for the outdoors, who has had several successful guidebooks and two works of fiction published. He has a particular interest in geology and a love of mountains. Aconcagua made a significant impression on him on his first journey there, with an expedition in 1999, and he returned on two further expeditions. Jim has been climbing the mountains of Andalucía for over 20 years. This guidebook is his way of repaying Nerja and Andalucía for many years of pleasure; his share of the proceeds from its sales go to local charities in Nerja.
