We have been walking in these desert regions for many years now. They never fail to provide excitment and interest and our enthusiasm never wanes for this spectacular walking terrain.
Our latest foray into the wild and dramatic desert land near Tabernas came a few days ago. We have developed a great full day’s desert walking tour taking in some of the very best bits. The area is characterised by dry valleys (ramblas) and steep sided ravines. Contrastingly, some ramblas are lush with green vegetation especially bamboo and make for difficult walking.
We follow some of the most important of these ramblas before breaking out onto open hillsides and cutting cross-country, scrambling up and over ravines. Exciting stuff but nowhere dangerous!
We follow in the footsteps of Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef as, en route, we visit some important film locations from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, “For a Few Dollars More” and “A Fistful of Dollars”. Both “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” had locations here too that our tour visits.
Well worth a visit if you happen to be in the Almeria region of southern Spain.
