Hiking in Spain. We traveled to Southern Spain on a road trip and hiked 8 of the best trails in Andalusia (Andalucia). It is very diverse and so is our list of the hiking trails—each one is the best in its “league” or category. These hidden gems are spread out through all of Andalusia, starting from Almeria in the East to the National Park of Sierra Grazalema in the West. This video includes also some travel tips and where to park your car at the trailheads.

Two out of the eight trails require a reservation in advance:

— The Caminito del Rey trail which has also an entrance fee. Tickets can be purchased for guided group tours which costs 18 EUR, or a single visit without guide for 10 EUR. We preferred the unguided tour, but there’s a daily limit of 10 tickets in this category, and our dates was fully booked already. So we had to buy the guided tour tickets, but we ended up without the group as you can see in the video.

— And the Garganta Verde trail which is for free but requires a permit that you can get by sending them an email to cvelbosque.amaya@reservatuvisita.es. They have several trails, so include the following information in your email:

“I would like to apply for a permit for 2 persons:
Name: …
Passport number: …
How many people going on the walk: …
Date: …
Walk: La Garganta Verde”

  1. Спасибо за видео и за идеи по маршрутам. Приятно было узнать что ребята из Латвии, так как мы сами из Риги. Будем смотреть дальше. Было бы интересно ещё увидеть Испанию. Рекомендую пройти в Перинеях маршрут в парке Ordesa y Monte Perdido

  2. A cracking, informative, well researched video 👏👏👏 Can see tons of work went into this. I’m hitting the subscribe button right now! I also do hiking movies, have a drone and 360° camera too. Thanks for sharing your Andalusian hikes 👍🏻👍🏻

  3. It’s a beautiful, well put together compilation but it is unfortunate that the location is not mentioned so one has to pause it and google each hike to see where it is. That’s too bad it would have been very useful.

  4. Fantastic!! I have done all of these hikes apart from Grazalema (although I have done other hikes there) and Garganta Verde which I can never seem to coordinate my time with available permits. There are many other great hikes I recommend like Rio Borosa, Cazorla and Vereda De La Estrella, Granada. I feel glad that I live here and have these awesome places on my doorstep especially El Torcal where I live in Antequera. 🤗👏🏿🙏🏿❤️

  5. Absolutely top state of the art. Thank you so much for this amazing, absolutely fabulous video. We starting tomorrow theose hikes, we live nearby such na amazing gems and we don't know about them. That wil change. Thax for the inspiration. All the best!!!❤❤❤

  6. Never drink water from streams and rivers without adding chlorine dioxide tablets, there could be animals upstream peeing and crapping😅😅 even wild animals. Great video!

  7. The last one, the co-ordinates are for the car park. How long does the hike take? Does the trail circle back around to the parking area you started at?

    Looks great!
    Going there for Caminito del Rey, but might see if I can get this one in too!
    Thank you
