The tour "Walk Spain's Sierra Nevada & Granada" starts from Berchules and ends in Granada. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Trevélez, La Taha and Granada in Spain. "Walk Spain's Sierra Nevada & Granada" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

The Sierra Nevada towers over southern Spain. Much of this dramatic landscape is a protected biosphere reserve, rich in wildlife and home to many endemic plant species. Here, and in the neighbouring Alpujarra region, we are rewarded with some of the finest walking in Andalucía; from ancient chestnut forests to lavender and broom-clad moorland and whitewashed Moorish villages. A night in the city of Granada, home to the magnificent Alhambra palace, is the perfect end to the week.

This trip includes a few of our Citizen Science Departures. These special departures offer you the opportunity to be involved in the collection of freshwater samples during the trip. The environmental DNA information derived from this sample will contribute directly to the e
