The Best Hiking in Spain

About a 4-hour drive from Barcelona lies the Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. This incredible jewel of a park is definitely off the beaten path from the more popular destinations in Spain. There are a handful of different hikes in the park, the most popular of which, el Camino de Soaso,...

The famous Montserrat mountain has it all.  With climbs varying from easy single pitch trad routes to big sport multi pitches, Montserrat could keep a climber entertained for a very long time. Upon dry, barren landscape is a towering, large, and beautiful mountain with endless rock formations. Wh...

You know those videos you see of people scoring epic waves in picturesque destinations with empty lineups. I can't promise epic waves but this adventure surely promises the same getting-lost and off-the-beaten-path feeling as surf videos represent. The journey starts in the small, deserted, beach...

It takes about 2.5 hours to get to Cañón del Río Lobos Natural Park driving from Madrid. Along the 200 kilometers between Madrid and the Natural Park, little towns in the region of the Sierra Norte de Madrid can be spotted from the car, such as La Cabrera and its granite massif of Paleozoic origi...

If you've ever been on an adventure in Europe you'd know that there is an overwhelming amount of trails and routes for hiking, mountain biking, cycling, climbing, and via Ferrata-ing. If you've never been, now you know.  While I would personally recommend a backpacking trip between the refuges am...

A military zone with no fence but marks should be avoided.The park can be traveled by walk, Segway, bicycle or by car. Cars can only travel on allowed tracks. Although it is possi...

From Queralbs you'll be making a right turn at the harping left turn up towards the town of Queralbs. There'll be signs for Coma De Vaca. Drive down this road for about a mile where it ends at a parking lot called Daio. The parking lot in itself foreshadows the beauty of this hike with mountains ...

El Camino is one of the most popular treks in the world. While there are a number of different routes you can embark on for this trek, I recommend the Primitivo route as it is a bit more challenging, and has both fewer people and beautiful views. This route technically begins in Villavicosa, but ...

The Riverside Walk carves through several different areas of the large city of Pamplona. It starts at the lush gardens and fields of La Magdalena and continues on for nearly seven miles paralleling the Arga River. The path connects several parks and offers wide river bends for fishing, as well as...

Departing from the beautiful and welcoming Hotel Txantxorena, we connected with the Camino de Santiago at Calle 4 to loop eastward before diverging off the village roadways. Zubiri, Basque for bridge, did not disappoint with several pleasing river crossings to adorn the 25 km walk southwest into ...

Departing Roncesvalles with rested bodies was an unknown necessity.   As we picked up the path marked with blue and yellow arrows, my companions and I were promptly greeted with a dark and damp forest trail, with thick moss upon the stone wall.   I felt heavy, but not due to my pack or hiking boo...
