Looking for ESSENTIAL OUTDOOR GEAR for your mountain adventures?
I know how difficult it can be to find the beautiful, natural and uncrowded places to visit in Spain. Many sites of interest are not signposted, and other times there are signs indicating something interesting to see, but when followed you end up at a dead-end road with prohibited access.
You can discover potential places to visit online, but the practical information can be limited, leaving you with no idea where to park, where you can enter the area on foot, where the paths lead, and whether the sights are worth visiting at all.
You may arrive at a location and come across a no entry sign, but does this apply only to just vehicles or to hikers too? Sometimes the hiking paths intentionally pass through gardens and farms, but other times you are actually just trespassing.
I am an explorer at heart, and I enjoy this process of trial and error.

If you want to find the most beautiful rivers, lakes and waterfalls to swim in across Spain, then this is the book for you!
I´m a pretty determined person so I managed to find some general information on the internet while at home, but there was a lot that I had to figure out for myself when I arrived, such as exact locations and current conditions.
And so, it inspired me to start writing, not only to record my outdoor adventure experiences in the Costa Blanca, but to help out other people who want to do the same.
I investigate every path, road and abandoned building, on the off chance that there is something interesting to be seen or experienced.
Whether you visit an area in the Costa Blanca to hike, explore, go camping, have a picnic, see wild animals or watch the sunset…I can recommend the best spots and times of the day or year to do this, so that you can make the most of your outdoor adventures.
You can learn from my mistakes, so that you don´t have to get your car stuck on a mountain track, crawl through brambles overgrown on a ravine path, or climb over a wall to escape an unhikable forest because curiosity got the better of you!
