Product Description

Book Description
Walk the Alpujarras is a 160 page full colour guidebook containing 35 fully detailed walking itineraries, complete with gps waypoints and 1:40,000 colour map sections for every walking route, plus colourful background information; providing everything you need to explore the beautiful mountain and valley landscapes of the southern Sierra Nevada in Andalucia. Wire-O spiral binding allows this book to 'lay flat' for reading and be 'folded back on itself' when in use without damage. Full colour map sections for each walking route are from the latest edition of Alpujarras Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map. All of this brought together in Charles Davis' inimitable inspirational writing style to produce another classic title in DWG's Walk! series of guidebooks. Walk! the Alpujarras replaces Charles' earlier 34 Alpujarras Walks' adding new routes and updating others while also dropping a couple of routes that are no longer accessible; background information has been similarly updated. Walking routes range from strolls up to full 5 Walker ratings for fit, adventurous, mountain walkers; including Mulhacen which is rated even higher than 5 Walker for exertion. Charles has unearthed routes not found in other books, along with the classics of this beautiful region. If you are familiar with Charles Davis through Walk! Mallorca West, Walk! La Gomera, Walk! Mallorca North & Mountains, Walk! Axarquia, Walk! Andorra or Walk! La Palma, you will know what to expect. Should Walk! the Alpujarras be your first introduction to Charles Davis you will soon appreciate why he is the new 'rock star' of mountain walking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful place, 20 Aug 2007
By Roger (South of France) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars better off with than without , 21 May 2008
By jamtoday (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, 31 Oct 2007
By J. Thomson "Jenny T" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a terrible walking guide. The directions are meaningless and do not take into account starting points. Thank goodness for friendly locals who could point us in the right direction! We gave up on the book and just used the maps , although these were not detailled enough. Many paths are not marked at all which led to confusion. Perhaps this book works wonders if you are simultaneously using GPS, which we were not, but which the author seemed to be promoting at every turn.
