Spain

Crossed with ancient pilgrim and trading routes, Spain is a paradise for day walks and longer trekking routes, many involving walks and climbs amongst mountain peaks, while coastal day walking can range from low level strolls to scrambles on the crags and ridges in Andalucia, Catalunya and the Costa Blanca. Offshore, the year-round walking in the Balearic Islands and Canaries provides a warm alternative to the cold winters of Northern Europe.
