8 Best Hikes in Andalusia Spain 🇪🇸 Hiking Road Trip

Hiking in Andalusia, Spain, Europe. We traveled to Southern Spain on a road trip and hiked 8 of the best hiking trails in Andalusia (Andalucia). It is very diverse, and so is our list of the hiking trails — each one is the best in its own category and they showcase the wild and naked nature of the Spanish South. 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.

Nice video and music. After a short winter trip to Norway, I am planing another longer trip to Norway in the summer because of its beautiful nature, but this video is now making me to reconsider Norway.

Superbes images filmées avec le drone, cela donne l'impression de voler comme un oiseau. Ainsi, nous avons une vision globale et bien différente du randonneur qui évolue au sol, et ne découvre que le paysage qui est devant lui, au bout de son nez... Depuis la France, je visite et randonne beaucoup dans une autre belle région d'Espagne, l'Aragon ou tu as fait une autre belle vidéo (Faja Racon & Tozal del Mallo). Merci pour le partage et je pense aller voir les lieux que tu proposes dans cette vidéo très inspirante.
