The Valle de Genal lies west of Malaga and north of Marbella. Juzcar is one of the seven villages of the Alto (Upper) Genal Valley.
Fran O'Donnell sent us this account of her trip to this beautiful part of southern Spain.

The charming hotel Bandolero www.hotelbandolero.com was our base for a self-guided holiday exploring the other villages along the ancient mule tracks. Rural tourism is only just beginning to find it's way into this valley that makes few concessions to visitors but does offer the chance to see Andalucian Eagles - we did!

In June, it was hot - very hot - and the tracks were dusty, reflecting the fierce heat of the sun. brasher's Neon walking shoes were ideal footwear for the trip. My feet didn't overheat, the soles coped superbly with the steep terrain and the fit was brilliant. Despite walking many miles every day, there was not even the sniff of a sore spot or blister (brasher socks helped) and I was able to slip them on again after a refreshing shower at the end of the day. Just as well they were the only shoes I took on holiday. Super comfortable, they were fine for travelling, on the trail and sightseeing in nearby Ronda.

If you've been out and about in your brasher's send us a few lines telling us where you've been wearing them along with a photo and we'll publish it on the blog.
