Andalusia offers me everything I need for a good life, the sea on my doorstep and the mountains in the background. Anyone who does not know the Andalusian hinterland, could not imagine that a few kilometres behind the Costa del Sol,a diverse and almost unspoiled landscape still exists. I know and love the area, its people, their villages, their history and their stories and take great pleasure from introducing you to them on my hikes.
