We love this range of books. The author provides great detail of the walks, complete with maps and photographs. We cannot recommend the area around Grazalema highly enough, the book was invaluable as no information was available about the walks from the local tourist office, most of the walks are not sign-posted. Without this beautiful resourced book we would not have enjoyed the area so much, and can't wait to return. We even tried to re-create the photo on the front cover from the top of Lagarin. We purchased the book from amazon, as once in Spain few resources are available. Happy Walking.

    We found the book very useful. Some of the instructions are a bit out of date and we did get slightly lost on a few occasions but overall I think the book is great.

    Great resource. Should have read additional map recommendations before going but only did short walks as went late June so not needed.

    Used on a recent trip to Grazalema and Nieves, provided a lovely sympathetic, well presented and researched guide. Obviously, the author has done these and many other walks in the area. Really practical and with excellent detailed guidance at points where we'd have gone wrong otherwise. Also enabled us to do walks which we'd never done at all without the guide.

    The illustrations are good, and the maps work well. The difficulty & timing guidance was realistic for our capabilities.

    Overall, an excellent example of a walking guide.
