Walking in the Sierra Nevada is Andy Walmsley’s Cicerone guide to the extensive walking opportunities on the highest mountain range in Spain. The mountains provide great scope for adventurous mountain travellers and the guide covers everything from the rugged peaks of Alta Montana to the lower peaks of the Baja Montana. Similarly, the unfrequented valleys of the Alpajarras and the Marquesado Forest offer walkers a seclusion that is becoming rare in the Alps or Pyrenees.

The guide is organized into 4 main sections - Road access within the range (walks), Baja Montana, Alta Montana and Longer and Multi-Day routes - describing routes that range from 3km rambles to multi-day treks and which also take in tracks that are mountain-bike friendly. A detailed introduction provides useful information on topography, climate, and flora and fauna as well as practical advice on valley and mountain bases, mountain-biking, climate and emergency services. Each route begins with an overview of the walks as well as information on distance and height, timings and whether the route is suitable for bikes. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour sketch diagrams mapping the route in addition to colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of this impressive mountain range.
