Hi!
I’m Alison and this is my website to share all my walking and hiking adventures.
In 2022 I walked the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago de Compostela and, coupled with all the walking I do around my home in Andalucia, decided to start a blog to share all my experiences.
There’ll be a mix of difficulty levels from easy city walks to more challenging multi-day hikes and I hope that my posts will, perhaps, give you some inspiration to get walking too.
Happy walking!

Tips for Enjoying the Great Outdoors on Foot:
- Make sure you wear sunscreen year-round but especially during the summer months
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Wear layers in case the weather changes, and comfortable shoes (nobody enjoys getting blisters)
- Carry a basic first aid kit – speaking from experience it’s easy to take a tumble
- Let someone know where you’re going, particularly if you’re travelling on your own
