The GR7

The Gr7 (E4) is an ambitious long-distance, way marked footpath passing through all of Andalucia and Spain, then on to Greece. We can vouch for the Alpujarran stretch being very well chosen but even so we vary it to suit the season and the walker.

The Terrain

The terrain is mountainous, but the route, based on the old mule trails, is always reasonably graded to make the hiking achievable for the averagely fit person.
