Our researchers Charles Davis, Jeanette and Bati the giant old-English sheepdog have spent several energetic months exhaustively researching this beautiful area, and now both book and map back from our printers. Judging by the success of our original Alpujarras Walking Guide, researched and published in 98, followed by 34 Alpujarras Walks and the 1st edition of our Alpujarras Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map in 2003, these two publications will be winners with all walkers visiting the Alpujarras. 
The walks have been intensively researched and the descriptions are both practical and inspiring, making this a new 'Walking Classic' guidebook; so much so that we are now refer to Charles Davis as the new 'rock star' of mountain walking. If you are looking for a new walking region, you should think Alpujarras, preferably in spring or autumn as the summers are hot, and some routes will be snow-covered in winter.

Chris Stewart's accounts of Alpujarras' life in his books 'Driving Over Lemons' and 'A Parrot In The Pepper Tree', and his latest best seller  'The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society' give you an intriguing insight into regional life; also see Country Walking Aug 2003 for photos of Chris so you will recognise him. He lives near the joining of two rivers, see T&T map, but that is the closest clue we will give you to his house. You can order Chris' books from amazon.co.uk

On the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada is the region known as the Alpujarras. Moorish villages cling to the steep sides of the Poqueira and Trevelez valleys in a landscape drawn on a grand scale. Ancient donkey trails abound which make ideal walking routes linking the villages of the region. It would be difficult to find a better setting for our first venture onto the Ibeirian Peninsula! For the independent traveller we include accommodation information. Fly to Malaga, rent a car and ninety minutes later you are in this walking 'paradise'. If you are looking for a walking package then Waymark, Ramblers, Exodus and Travelbag Adventures offer organised holidays to the region. 
TGO September 2003 includes reviews of new Alpujarras and Tenerife books and maps. OK so Kev doesn't like thematic titles to walks but no one will argue with "The walks in both books are well-researched and clearly written" and "The same publisher produces walkers' maps and I find these much more interesting (and inspiring) than the guides themselves." Well the books are very good so the maps must be truly exceptional.
"Hi David & Ros. 
My wife and I have just had a very successful walking week in the Alpujarras ably supported by your map and book. The GPS waymarks were invaluable. We are buying a house in the Alpujarras and will be making extensive use of your PNFs. Thanks for putting such useful tools together.
Kind regards Frank & Hilary K "
