If the words ‘Costa del Sol’
conjure up images of long, featureless beaches occupied by
regimented rows of sun loungers while across the road are the
Costa del Concrete apartment blocks, then we have an escape for
you. Previously, you would have had a two hour drive to the
Alpujarras for our nearest walking destination. Now a short drive
inland and you can be in the Axarquia region, one’s of
Spain’s wild places preserved from the clutches of property
developers. It’s a region of historic white villages and
towns scattered amongst dramatic hills and mountains, and blessed
with a kind climate in which grape vines, mango trees and kiwi
fruits thrive alongside ancient olive and almond groves.
Previously little known even to local residents, and actually
unknown to us until Charles suggested the region, there has been
very little published in English for the region of Axarquia -
until now. Charles’ and Jeanette’s prodigious capacity
for walking research has produced a whole range of routes
covering the best walking in the region, including routes in the
Parque Natural nature reserves of Sierra de Almijara and Sierra
de Tejeda.
Walking itineraries have been chosen with
hire cars in mind as there is little public transport.
Charles Davis’ skilful writing provides the essential
background along with inspirational fully detailed walk
descriptions that will take you back to a time when the world was
young - only minutes from that Costa del Concrete by car but
aeons away in the mind.
Not so high energy as Andorra, but a bit more so than Sierra de
Aracena; if you are looking for something wild and new, but close
to resort civilisation, then Walk! Axarquia could be for you; the
most difficult part is saying it and spelling it!
