WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

Very good walking, with a range of scenery. Good guide, very knowledgeable. Good accommodation. My only criticism was it was somehow predictable. 20yrs ago we did a similar holiday with Simply Crete and it had far more suprise elements in it (eg lunch in locals’ homes) so I think I was left a bit underwhelmed after Andalucia

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed Setenil village.I loved the delicious evening meals. (but they were really late and I was so hungry I'd have eaten anything)It wasn't really an inspirational trip, more a pleasant, interesting, relaxing one.

Thoughts on Group Leader

very good. Relaxed, low key. knowledgeable, sensitive to the group and their abilities. Flexible, able to adapt walks depending on the weather. Good ideas for Sevillle, but never pushy and over organising.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take waterproof jacket AND trousers. We needed them.Take your own snacks to keep you going between pakced lumch at 1pm and dinner at 8.30pm. The bar prices for drinks and snacks are very high.

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

Really enjoyed the daily yoga. Cortijo Rosario was in a lovely location, lovely open fire in the evenings.

Most Inspirational Moment

The daily yoga, wonderful way to start the day for a walk.Seville on a sunny day, shopping and tapas was a nice change from the trek.Enjoyed the later treks when I decided to go at my own pace and admire the views as I went even if this meant being way behind and inconviencing others in the group.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Friendly and informative. Sometimes remote and reserved.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't think it'll be warm in March in Spain - quite cold for the first 3 days!

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

I went because it advertised yoga and walking. Our walking leader made it increasingly difficult for us to do yoga, she shortened the times and made them earlier and earlier. The walking on the otherhand was so easy it was almost dormant. The company was interesting and kindly.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader needs a change of occupation she was unhelpful and preoccupied, rather childish considering we were all mature adults

Advice for Potential Travellers

The owner of the farmhouse is extremly welcoming and helpful as are his staff.

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

An easy, relaxing week of walking in excellent company. Good food (and wine) served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. Evenings and early mornings were very cold but the bedrooms were well heated and the water wonderfully hot. The sitting room fire could have been lit a little earlier to warm it up for the evening.

Most Inspirational Moment

The afternoon spent at the Real Alcazar, Seville - second only to the Al Hambra in Granada.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Laid back, helpful and good company.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be warned the pool is FREEZING in February - but really exhilarating after a long walk.

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

My boyfriend and I had an absolutely fantastic time, with great walking and good company in a beautiful setting. The Cortijo was very neat and tidy, and superbly run by Bill, Anne, Maria, Rocio, Anna and Juan. The food was fantastic, even the packed lunches with rolls the size of your head! Roger was a star leader: very knowledgeable and always game for a laugh. All in all, a perfect balance of sightseeing, exercise in the fresh air, relaxation and indulgence. We would happily return to do it all over again!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking in El Chorro was just stunning. Shame we weren't able to stay there longer!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roger was really great. He seemed to know everything there was to know about everything, and he made the outings very enjoyable and entertaining. Plus he was very sociable with the group back at the cortijo - joining us for meals and drinks, and getting involved in the silly games!

Advice for Potential Travellers

We went at the end of Feb/beginning of March, which seemed an ideal time to go, since the scenery is at its most lush before the summer heat sets in. Plus, while it was warm and sunny on the whole, it wasn't too hot to be scrabbling around on mountains - I think it would have been a bit much for me otherwise! We were the youngest people on the trip at 28 and 29. The majority of the group members were 50+, but don't let that perturb any of you younger travellers (I think that may be due to the time of year and difficulty rating of the holiday), you'll still have a fabulous time!

WALKING IN ANDALUCIA

A great holiday if you want to see a bit of the real Spain.Interesting countryside and a chance to wander round villages not geared up to tourism.The accomodation was basic but very pleasant and wonderfully situated on a hill overlooking the village.The staff were local and you felt,through them, you were contributing to the local economy but not spoiling the area.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing vultures in Europe.Watch real flaminco dancing from a teacher and her pupil in the village.The Spanish Government are encouraging youngsters to be involved in this traditional form of dance similar to initiatives in Scotland.Moorish Seville

Thoughts on Group Leader

Friendly and knowlegable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't expect to buy much except on your day in Seville.
