Beschrijving van de wandeling
Long-distance walking in high karst between deserted Moorish castles and occupied or abandoned cortijos and settlements. Accommodation and meals in village bars (excellent goat and lamb, good cheap wine). Get to know shepherds, farmers, grandmas, (prehistoric) hunters, stoned Moors, gypsies etc and check out and enter their accommodation. Lots of wildlife, and some pretty wild life. Village bullfights in season. For those of you who know about such things, think Afghanistan-Lite. 5-8 days. Prettiest in the autumn and the spring, most exciting during the fiestas in August (but bear in mind the intense heat).
