Walking in Spain
Spain is perhaps the most complete and varied country for walking in Europe. A network of footpaths explores its ubiquitous mountain ranges, protected parks and coastline. This site offers an insight into some of the best places to visit, along with reports about the fascinating wildlife and countryside
About me
Hi, I’m David (Dave) Jones, former editor of the Costa Blanca News, where I had a weekly walking page which ran for 20 years. The routes were compiled on my travels around Spain and covered a large swathe of this vast country. Following the demise of the newspaper, I decided to set up this page to share old and new walks as I continue to explore magnificent Iberia, which offers something intriguing and rewarding wherever you stick your finger on the map

Areas and Routes
An area of savage natural beauty, the mountains of Huesca province form the most extreme landscapes in the Pyrenees.
A profusion of glacial lakes running east from the border with Aragón region as far as the town of Espot creates one of the most extraordinary areas of the Pyrenees.
High and handsome. That’s Teruel province. It’s also full of footpaths, with not many people to walk them. An ideal place for those who like to be alone while they wander (and wonder).
Rugged and remote. That’s the interior of Castellón, where the best footpaths in the province can be found. It’s no surprise that it borders Teruel; they have much in common.
Famous for its Costa Blanca beaches, Alicante has a less heralded but arguably more impressive resource – its mountainous interior.
The south of the province does not possess the dramatic valleys and peaks of north Alicante, but it does have some sign-posted footpaths.
