What a fabulous week we had walking in Andalucía, Spain in and around the National Park of Grazalema. Everything worked perfectly: from collection at the train station, great accommodation, transference of baggage and taxi collection between villages. Our hosts where helpful and the accommodation of an excellent standard. And then there was the walk - sublime! A diverse range of tracks through magnificent landscapes, over rocky mountains, across high plains, along paths lined with wild flowers taller than me, and beside rivers. As we were walking in June, there were no other walkers, so if you are planning to walk and socialise, pick a cooler time of year. Would do it all again in a heartbeat!

Our Iberian tour was an enjoyable, easy and fantastic way to see highlights of Spain and Portugal in a limited time. Our tour leader Patrizia was the best - she is fun, organised and super helpful to ensure everyone had the best travel experience possible. The hotels we stayed in were a very high standard and included an old convent and castle. The itinerary ensured we saw the top highlights of each town visited but there was also sufficient spare time to do your own thing. I would definitely travel with Blue-Roads in the future..
