Our first guided walking holiday (but not our first trip with Exodus) , and our first visit to this part of Spain.
A really enjoyable week in rural Andalucia with a good mix of walks in spectacular scenery, great food, company etc. Particular thanks to our outstanding, most knowledgeable and helpful guide Michael, and all the staff at Cortijo Rosario.
Lots to choose from - plump for completing the Caminito del Rey. Don’t have a great head for heights ! El Chorro Gorge is truly spectular.
Absolutely superb in every way - a sincere thank you Michael. Eleanor and Harry.
This was our first guided walking holiday and the walks are not particularly demanding. Lots of stops for views, things of interest etc.
A great introduction to rural Spain .
We had hot sunny weather every day which made the walking days very enjoyable. The Accomodation was excellent too , with all the staff being friendly and helpful.
Walking the " Caminito Del Rey " made the trip for Me. The added bonus that we got to walk it with almost no one else in sight ( We were warned that it could be very busy ) was the icing on the cake.
Michael was a great group leader , very knowledgeable on the local area , wildlife and plants. He could not have been more helpful and answered all questions put to Him , or offered to find out the info if He didn't know it. His cheerful disposition really helped the group gel together from day one.
insect repellant required if eating outside in the evenings.......
This was a very peaceful vacation. Mike, our guide, was great. We had a great week.
The hotel had a great food and a great view. The staff was very accommodating and a pleasure to talk with.
The group we had was great. After a full day of hiking, it was great to hang out with them for an after hike drink and then again at the hotel.
Mike was great. He was knowledgeable and very sociable.
This is a very relaxing location and vacation. If you are looking for a town to explore and go out in the evenings, this is not it. If you want a place to relax and enjoy the week, this is definitely it.
A fantastic time walking in the area around the Cortijo Rosario & beyond. Each walk introduced a different vista into the experience & we saw lots of birds of prey which the leader Michael easily identified. All walks ended with a cooling beer or two which was well received. The accommodation was very good & the meals exceptional.
Everyday was different & we enjoyed it all.
The group leader Michael Newcomb was very knowledgeable about the local area with respect to flora, fauna & history & shared this information in an easy manner. He was well organised & catered for all abilities within the group.
Relax & enjoy your time in Andalucia.
Well organised. Lovely location. Excellent guide. Great value
Walking the Caminito Del Ray
Went the extra 10 miles!
A week of blistering heat (even hotter than in England) in superb landscapes with great hospitality from the management team who had only taken over Cortijo Rosario towards the end of last year. Varied itinerary with different walks on each day. Food prepared by Roger was delicious and the vegetarian options were envied by the rest of the meat-eating group.
Nothing really stands out specifically as all days were great and varied so it would be unfair to choose anything in particular.
Michael was great - his enthusiasm and knowledge was excellent and even if Belgium beat England in the group stage of the World Cup this was taken in the spirit of the occasion as the owners of the cortijo were from Belgium, as was the chef who lived up to his promise of sangria if we ate dinner 30 minutes earlier so that the kick off was not missed.
Enjoy it.
A week walking in beautiful Andalusia, with a day in Seville as a change. Centre-based, so no packing and unpacking. Springtime, and the flowers were stunning. Walks varied, which was good. And with a likely bunch of fellow travellers, as ever with Exodus.
Ohhh - Sorry --- I know that the walking was excellent, the flowers stunning, the drives terrific, and the food just marvellous, and Seville's the City of the Season, but for me - even with all of that - the highlight was probably pushing back the bolts on the kitchen door in the morning, and taking my tea out onto the terrace to watch the sun rise, listen to the birds, watch the mists evaporate, and just generally take my peace before the day. And yes, I can feel my cheeks smiling as I type this.
Personable, informative, well organised, and good team skills.
Only that there's not vast amounts of down time, so don't bother taking too much in the way of extra books etc.
A fantastic holiday superbly guided by Michael . Loved every minute from start to finish at the Cortijo Rosario. The staff and Roger the chef looked after us superbly. The accomodation is idyllic with fabulous views over the olive groves to the mountain of El Penon .
Although the walks were relatively easy they were interesting and scenic and the walk in the Caminito Del Reay was breathtaking.
The group of 10 were a great bunch ,got on with each other very well and were a pleasure to be with.
The Caminito Del Reay. Exhilarating .
Michael Hanscomb was excellent in every way. He was informative and passionate about the local area and led the group well.
Enjoy.
This was an amazing trip .The guide, Alejandro ,was excellent and took us on some fantastic walks through carpets of wild flowers .The accommodation was comfortable and although it wasn’t luxurious it met my needs .The food was abundant and tasty .The people in the group were great fun .Thoroughly recommended!
TheCaminito del Rey walk and the walk through the national park on the final day .The sunshine and the flowers .
Alejandro was excellent .He explained the routes of the walks carefully and was attentive to every walker. It was great that he socialised with us in the evening .What a nice guy !
Try and book a direct flight .We didn’t enjoy changing planes in Madrid...very stressful when we nearly missed the connection.
This was my first time travelling solo I was so lucky to meet a group of 8 who were great company & good fun. Alex, our guide, gave us a warm welcome & we soon felt like old friends. The Cortijo was a perfect place to stay with views over the village in a peaceful location. The walks were spectacular, fantastic scenery & with help from Alex we identified many wild flowers it was like a nature trail. An ideal time to visit & I will certainly return.
Watching the sunrise over the hills with the cuckoo calling.
Alex was the perfect group leader. He was charming considerate, very informative & shared his love of nature with us. We were a happy group had lots of fun & laughed a lot. Thanks to Alex for making it so special.
Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised when visiting this quiet corner of Spain. It has so much to explore & enjoy. A real delight for nature lovers.
