The walking journey starts at Arcos de la Frontera and finishes 6 days later at Almuña. We walk in massive limestone sierras and open farmland, lunching with a local family en route to the remote village of Algar.
We then team up with Roque and his mules who accompany us through dramatic sandstone country alongside gushing streams, choked with rhododendrons and arbutus, into the interior of a forest of huge cork oaks, out of sight and sound of modern life.
