This isn't a pilgrimage route but it is in Spain so hopefully no one will mind too much about me posting this... Has anyone walked the Andalucian Coast-to-coast Walk and have an experience to share? Any other routes in the area that you would recommend as an alternative?
Author/Publisher description of the guidebook:
“I wanted the route to link as many of southern Spain’s Natural Parks as possible and for each leg to be structured so that it could be comfortably covered in a full day by anyone in reasonably good health,” he continues. “And, above all, I wanted to avoid tarmac at all costs.” The result of months of research, trail-bashing and many a doubling-back is a stunning, 21 day trail which traverses no less than seven of Andalucía’s most beautiful protected areas. The trail begins on the lovely stretch of sand beneath Maro, just east of Nerja. Cutting inland via the incredible Liman trail – an amazing first day of walking – the route leads on through stunning hilltop villages including Frigiliana, Alcaucín, Carratraca, Jimena and Castillo de Castellar. The walk takes in fascinating towns, like Ronda and Tarifa and key archaeological sites like Barbastro, the Cueva de Nerja and the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudio. It also follows long sections of Roman and Berber footpaths and leads you through deep gorges and over high passes. The final section of the walk follows a sinuous mountain trail down to the Atlantic Ocean where the walk ends beside the beautiful beach of Bolonia. Over the course of this 430 kilometre trail you’ll see ibex and deer, mongoose and foxes, vultures and eagles, yet will meet with few other walkers along the way."
