The Berber Camino
This walking journey starts at Tarifa, bravely defended by Guzman el Bueno, the most southerly point of mainland Spain, along the coast of Atlantic rollers eyeing the great Rif Mountains across the Straits before turning north into the wild Moorish frontier and following its fortified citadels to Almuña.
"Each day’s walk is just as lovingly planned, winding through cork forests, smugglers trails, limestone valleys and sun baked grasslands, accompanied by teams of mules carrying chilled Fino sherry." - Rachel Hawthorn House & Garden
This walking journey has much historical content with explanations of the period of Moorish rule which in this corner of Spain spanned from 711 to 1492.
