Hiking through Spain, from Tarifa to Pyrenees : the way, the daily stages, advices, accomodation, GPS tracks. My way goes from Tarifa, the southern point of Europe to Punta Estaca de Bares, northern point of Iberian peninsula and Hondarribia at the border with France. As the old pilgrim’s ways, it passes through Guadalupe, Santiago and Oviedo.

In 2012, from Aachen to Compostela then Porto via the Camino Frances and the Camino Portuguese.

In 2023, the Vuelta-Volta the complete tour of the Iberian Peninsula by foot.

From april 26th to july 9th, 74 days hiking, 2440 kilometers to cross Spain. Using known and unknown ways, through white villages of Andalucia, olive groves, snowed mountains, wild coast, mesetas, unspoiled beaches, to discover the beauty, the diversity of culture, countryside, traditions of the country.
