The "Sierra De Aitana Trek" trip starts and ends in Guadalest. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Guadalest, Villajoyosa and Aitana in Spain. "Sierra De Aitana Trek" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Although close to the Costa Blanca, the dramatic massif of Sierra de Aitana has remained a secret from all but a few discerning visitors. We follow traditional footpaths and mule tracks, mostly along ridge lines, for spectacular panoramas, and then descend to beautiful valleys with natural springs and limestone amphitheatres. The rocky peaks and steep valleys that sweep down to the Mediterranean coast benefit from a warm climate for more than 300 days a year, making this an ideal location for out-of-season walking.

Unfortunately there was torrential rain for the entire week - walking was cancelled after day 2, and substituted with local 'tours'. Accomodation was very basic and cold. The facilities for drying our walking gear were inadequate... Read more
