Hiking in Granada

This is a photo of Jason, Zowie, Lena and Will (2 Canadians, a Scotswoman and an Englishman) walking a part of the Camino de Santiago between Guadix and Granada. 

The whole of the province of Granada is a hiker's paradise. Almost everywhere you go there is stunning mountain scenery. The snow tipped mountains of the Sierra Nevada are visible from a very large area. The province of Granada is mountainous and almost every walk involves a fair amount of uphill walking.
