About the Author

Guy Hunter-Watts has lived and worked in Andalucía since the 1980s. After studying at the universities of Santiago and Salamanca he taught English in South America before moving to the Ronda mountains where he has been leading guided walks for almost 25 years. His work as a walking guide and freelance journalist has taken him to many corners of the planet, including India, Namibia, Tanzania, Latin America and Mongolia.

Guy’s latest adventures include sailing a yacht from Turkey to the Maldives, tracking leopards through the Jawai hills in Rajasthan, shipping a vintage Airstream caravan from the US to a remote mountainside in the Grazalema mountains, and regularly falling off a battered Enfield motorbike on the tracks leading up to his farm.
