The best walks and hikes in Spain

This beautiful, historic nation boasts a lifetime of hiking adventures amongst its many hills and mountains, along its sun-kissed coastlines and to villages that time forgot. If walks in Spain don’t leave your cheeks rosy, your mind reinvigorated and your heart glad then nowhere will.

Its fourteen national parks offer almost endless exciting possibilities. Hikes in Spain range from ancient pilgrim routes and disused railway paths to sensational coastal trails, vertiginous boardwalks that cling to gorge walls and incredible mountainous scrambles.

Hiking amongst the Picos de Europa’s monolithic peaks and huge massifs is an incredible experience, or you can lose yourself amidst the sensational cirques and towering ramparts of the Pyrenees. An adventure in Andalucia’s Sierra Nevada range is magnificent, where it’s possible to hike to the Iberian Peninsula’s highest summits. A coastline boasting the Costa Brava, the Andalusian Coast and the Bay of Biscay means that you will never be stuck for seaside rambles. Bravo.
