From hiking the tallest mountain in the Pyrenees to trekking across volcanic landscapes in the Canaries, Spain has plenty to offer avid hikers.
Separating Spain from France, the expansive Pyrenees boast classic alpine adventures among towering, snow-capped peaks and lush, rolling valleys. Put your endurance to the test journeying across the range or take on Spain’s largest glacier and peak up mighty Mount Aneto. Head to the northwest coast and explore the jagged peaks of the Picos de Europa; one of the most beautiful hiking spots in the country. Or venture away from the mainland to the year-round sun of the Canary Islands and trek across other-worldly volcanic landscapes.
Spain is the place to go if you’re a keen hiker, wanting to experience beautiful, lesser-known routes. The Pyrenees and the Picos de Europa are best explored during the summer months, but the Canaries boast the perfect environment for trekking at any time of year.
Here are some of our favourite Spanish hiking spots for you to choose from.
