Walking and Trekking in the Sierra Nevada

A guidebook to 30 day walks and 2-day excursions, 5 high mountain scrambles and three longer multi-day routes in Spain’s Sierra Nevada. Routes are graded by difficulty: all call for good fitness and hillwalking experience, and the more demanding options involve navigational challenge, prolonged ascents, remote rugged mountain terrain and scrambling.

The walks range from 5 to 38km (3–24 miles) and from 3 hours to 2–3 days. The scrambles are graded from Grade 2 to 3S. Also included are a 3–7 day traverse of the range’s 3000m peaks, a 3-day traverse of the 3 highest peaks (''Los Tres Picos'') and an overview of the 302km (188 mile) Sulayr GR240.
