MOORISH TRAILS
Join us for a week of walking in Andalucia. We explore an ancient network of trails and mule routes linking picturesque white-washed Moorish villages through a landscape of vineyards and olive groves. We hike along parts of the old ‘Silk Route’ to Granada and can visit the spectacular Alhambra Palace. Every evening we enjoy delicious local food and sample the region’s famous sweet wine.
