walking holidays Spain testemonials

Nicola and Richard came on a semi-guided holiday to Granada and the alpujarra

Dear Jeremy,
Just to say how much Nicola and I enjoyed our trip to Spain and to thank you for  the excellent organisation, recomendations for walks, food, places to visit  and for your good company especially on the memorable walk over to Capileira.  
So far have managed to keep track of both mobile phone and sun glasses since our return. Next time Cordoba and/or Seville? Thanks again and all good wishes, Nicola and Richard.

Anne-Claude and Jacques came on the Self-led GR7 holiday and added a visit to Granada in October 2008.

Dear Jeremy,
We thank you so much for the great week of walking in the Alpujarras that you organised for us. We apreciated especially your reliability, your accuracy in the organisation, the excellent notes, maps and adresses you provided to us, as well as your knowledge of the area. We enjoyed a great (sunny) week walking and discovering the Alpujarra without any trouble of organisation - and without carrying our luggage ( great luxury!). At the same time, we had the impression to be on the way on our own. We can recommend travelling with you in that marvellous area . Maybe discovering Yorkshire with you next year !
With our best regards
Anne-Claude and Jacques Perrin

Denis came on a semi-guided week in June 2008. He is pictured here resting near the summit of Mulhacen. His 2nd ascent on consecutive days!

Dear Jeremy and Jeni,

My trip to Trevélez was so very enjoyable, largely due to the excellent guiding and help which Jeremy provided. You were so attentive and flexible as well as being such an amiable walking companion.

With my thanks and best wishes to you both.
Denis

Daphne and Geoff came on a semi-guided basis to walk and paint. April 2008.

Dear Jeremy, just a belated line to thank you for your efforts in ensuring that our holiday last month went so well. The thoroughness of the organisation and attention to detail were obvious and helped to ensure the enjoyable and stress-free holiday that both of us (and especially me!) badly needed. I very much enjoyed the walks with the luxury of 1:1 guidance and I know that Daphne enjoyed her art lessons as well. I would also mention that the choice of hotels was excellent. My best regards to you and Jennie, Geoff Richards.

Gary, Mary, Jackie, Dave. Took a guided walk in March 2008 and followed it up by walking self-guided using our information. He has also posted some great photos.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for meeting us in March and guiding us on our first walk. We had a great time. We really enjoyed the walk with you and especially the lunch and companionship in the bar, which was special. All in all we had a great time and I'd definitely like to return at this time of the year and do more of your walks. All the walks we did went well and we had no significant route finding issues.

Roy organised a guided week with walkalpujarra, for his Ramblers regional group in September 2007
Many thanks for all your efforts, and those of Jeni and Anton to make the walk such a huge success. ....... it was a zero risk strategy .... to organise a walking holiday with you in charge of the walking and you and Jeni in charge of the lunches and other things that made the whole experience effortless - except the walking of course. All the best, Roy.

Just to say a big thank you for a superb week's walking with Roy and Lauren. It was a thoroughly enjoyable week, exceptional value and well organised.
Ann and Don.

Jeremy and Jeni, just to say thank you for a great holiday. I know that a lot of preparation goes into as successful a break as the one you organised for our group. I have attached small jpegs of some of my pictures, I hope that they will be useful to you. Jeni have you considered a painting holiday organised in a similar fashion. I know a number of budding artist who would be interested.
Regards to you both, Roger.

Anthony and a group of 12 colleagues took a guided week in October 2006, then 2007.

"As you know, I enjoyed the walking with the IBM party in October immensely - so much so that I am taking on the job of arranging a return visit for next year. .....would you be willing to put up with us again? I expect that there will be a rush to sign up for the next visit, as word of the success of this year's trip has spread far and wide."

Bob, Jane, Chris and Liz came on a guided mini-break - April 2006

Dulcie and her friend Beryl took some guided walks with us in May 2004

I was very impressed with your www and I am sure you will do well. It is well laid out and very well described Thought you would like to see a couple of my digital, pictures I was very pleased with most of the pictures I took - the scenery helps of course!. Good luck for next season.

Jonathan,Ralph, Margaret and Jeni were part of a walking club who took one of our fixed centre guided weeks in May 2004.

Thank you very much for ringing to make sure we were on the bus OK. It turned up spot on time. My main reason for mailing you was to thank you both on behalf of all of us for arranging such a smashing week in the Alpujarras. We really did have a full and varied week of walking sustained by good food (especially at lunchtime, be it picnicking or indoors in Castaras). The scenery was quite stunning and lived up to how you described it beforehand.
.......Regards, Jonathan.

Thank you for leading us on our Alpujarran walking week. I thought it was a beautiful area, sometimes magical and it was a real pleasure to have you as our leader. I appreciated your calmness and consideration, Jeremy, and allied to Jeni's wonderful lunches - bliss - what a team! It was a really lovely holiday. Thank you both.
All the best,
Jeni Whitaker (flower Jeni), (from sunny Cheshire)

Margaret and I greatly enjoyed our week with you (even though a few more degrees F or C might have been nice. We thought you were a first-rate leader, probably the best we have ever had, and most tolerant of our individual foibles. Your organisation was superb.... routes, coaches, bars....as were your knowledge of the area, walks, food, language etc. I have a feeling we will see you again.
Regards, Ralph

Fiona came on a guided walk in October 2003

We are now back in sunny but not so warm England! Thank you once again for a fantastic day, one that will stay with us for a long time....
unfortunately sad news is that we accidentally deleted all the photos of the day (and most of the holiday) - so there are no pictures of the smiley goats to send you. One of the risks of digital cameras! We have come to terms with this by deciding we'll just have to come again!

Hilary and her friends travelled from the USA in September 2003, as a honeymoon treat, and did a variation of our self led GR7 walk.

Just a quick note to say thanks for all of your help in organizing our walking tour of the Alpujarra. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The itinerary was great - between the siete lagunas and the Trevelez-Berchules walk, I believe even our most fit walkers were sufficiently challenged! The notes and book were great. Also, the champagne for Beth and Mike was very thoughtful of you. Thanks for making the trip special for us.

Best personal regards, Hilary Spann.

Carol and Jim of winchester used our guide book to arrange a DIY holiday in April 2003.

....... from a week's holiday in the Alpujarra where we used Jeremy Rabjohns Holiday Walks book extensively. We felt we must thank you and he for this excellent publication which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of this quite lovely area. Jeremy's route descriptions were faultless and made the walks quite easy and consequently even more enjoyable than we had anticipated. We picked up his comments on where we might find orchids on Walk 21 at Puerto Juviley and there they were, exactly as he had said. This was a particular joy to me as an enthusiastic flower photographer. Walking with such an expert was great.
Sincere regards,
Carol and Jim Watson, Winchester.
