Spain Active outdoor Trips

We were not aware when we purchased the tour that it was actually 2 tours in one. It would be helpful to let customers know this before hand. I actually found out about a week before departure from a comment forum. There was some confusion in regard to how we were going to join the second part of the tour in Madrid. It was arranged last minute between the 2 tour directors and did work out thanks to them. It would be nice if Ronda and Malaga could be added to the tour. It would have been nice to have one stop on the Costa Del Sol.

Well organised tour with an excellent guide. Hotels ranged from ok to excellent but all in good locations. Visits to the Salvador Dali museum and the greek/roman archeological site en route were highlights.

It was great. The last day was a little long on the bus. Other than that we enjoyed the time visiting and learning about the sites The tour guides were very knowledgeable.

The location was so close, only 1.5 hour flight, so no long haul. The small town where we stayed was unspoiled and on the hikes themselves we hardly saw anyone else. The scenery was dramatic and the hikes made the most of that. There were some tricky conditions because of previous heavy rains, and our guide needed to adapt the order that we did two of the walks in and he checked on the weather conditions during the hikes and did make a couple of changes (to get down to a lower altitude when rain threatened). His support of everyone in the group and his decision making was excellent. He was professional, friendly, well informed on the terrain and its history. Also, away from the hikes, he ensured the two non-gluten guests and the one vegetarian (me) were well catered for.

It was absolutely wonderful - with a big proportion of the enjoyment being thanks to the guides. Alfonso for the hiking and Javier making sure that everything was working well. Two really great guys. The in country team of Alfonso and Javier were superb, enthusing the whole group with their love of the mountains, great food and fellowship. Their day to day organisation was faultless.

The holiday was wonderful, and I heartily recommend it. The walks were carefully planned and varied, giving us a chance to see the extraordinary landscape and flora. The group were friendly and everyone got on. Ester Galindo was a brilliant leader - professional, helpful and caring. Due to the terrific storms which meant we couldn't do all the walks as planned, Ester came up with new places for us to visit, which was much appreciated.
