In September 2009, I took another of my beloved walking/hiking trips—this one exploring the area between Granada and Sevilla in Southern Spain. Each trip is so different and so wonderful. This time I traveled with Country Walkers. I’ve also used The Wayfarers, and I highly recommend both companies.
