Purullena - Marchal - Beas de Guadix. Miradores del Fin del Mundo, Cárcavas y Badlands. Purullena (ESP)
A surprisingly beautiful route which has 2 very different parts: the first visiting three villages in the Granada Geopark such as Purullena, Marchal and Beas de Guadix, visiting the Natural Monument of the Cárcavas de Marchal. Amazing cave dwellings here. We also tried making it loop i.s.o. returning the same…

El Buey por la cadena (ESP)
Parking available after a dirt road.
The trail is to the right of the road ( ignore our first attempt 🫢)as the ascent begins, small yellow and white marks and some cairns make it easy to follow the trail. We go around the mountain until we reach a small abandoned…

Aitana via Paso de la Rabosa y Peñó Rapel (ESP)
One of the most magnificent mountains - also the highest at 1557m - in this region.
We added a short detour today to the Peñó Rapel.
The botanical route is just wonderfully diverse with plants and wildflowers.
And the views all along are just out of this world.
So to…

Cima Cabrera, Sax (ESP)
There is a good parking area on the Camino de Villena, 5 km outside Sax on the road to Salinas.
We did this route clockwise, which meant a long flat walk to start.
The ascent is a narrow path in the woods, easy to follow.

Brown's Wood, The Loop, Freshford, Co. Kilkenny (IRL)
A lovely loop starting in Freshford, a long, good path through the woods.
Only at the end a stretch along a country road to bring you back the square.
Stop at The Loop Café for coffee and a small sweet or lunch. This is totally run by volunteers.

Killoughter coastal walk, Co. Wicklow (IRL)
A beautiful coastal path which runs between the sea and the railway. We walked from the house along the road towards the beach and then picked up the pathway. You can walk for miles and miles.

Barranco de los Calderones - Zulum (ESP)
This is an interesting circular route to ascend the Zulum peak from the neighbouring town of Abanilla, going up through the attractive and rocky Rambla de los Calderones.
After you climb out of the barranco, there is a gradual uphill section, and that then turns into a steep section, quite…
