5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful place,
By Roger (South of France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk! the Alpujarras (Spiral-bound)
I've been visiting the Alpujarras off and on for several years now, but I hadn't realized how much I'd been missing till I got this book. Once you get away from the main valley (too many expats for my taste!)you get a real sense of somewhere apart, somewhere special. The walks are well chosen and clearly described and, as far as I can see, don't just follow the standard routes. Some of the cross country walking is extraordinary.

better off with than without,
By jamtoday (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk! the Alpujarras (Spiral-bound)
Just back from a 9-day trek in the Alpujarras guided largely by this book and accompanying map. Cannot compare with any other guide books, but we had little trouble following any of the several walks we tried from this book, and some of the potentially tricky navigational moments were aided greatly by CD's descriptions and guidance, as well as enlivened by his occasional wry comments. Basically, if you can read and see where you are going, and have a modicum of sense of the terrain, this book should be all you need.
Criticisms (minor gripes really) are that the book - and the map - does not show all trails available, and notably omits the Sendero Sulayr (which is a fairly recently devised higher-level circuit around the Sierra Nevadas), which could have provided extra flexibility in 'joining up' CD's detailed trails. Secondly, as we were walking point-to-point, rather than starting from the car park, as these walks often did, we were devising itineraries incorporating bits of 1 or more of the recommended walks, which although possible, does not seem entirely in keeping with the intended use of the guide. Also - and inevitably - some of the info on provision of accommodation, eateries and shops is inaccurate and needs updating. So Charles, if you're out there, time for a new updated edition, but you're doing a lot that's right!

If you buy the map get this book,
This review is from: Walk! the Alpujarras (Spiral-bound)
This book is pretty much an essential accompaniment to the map. Paths are hard to follow round here and the detailed descriptions are very helpful. Small inaccuracies or some vagueness here and there in the descriptions but otherwise very good.
