For independent travellers or small groups - semi guided holiday.



More ideas on the left.

This is for you if you prefer not to join a group but would like some guidance.

It's our suggestion for those who would appreciate some guidance in exploring a new area, but also time to explore on their own. Transport is included for the guided days and so car hire is not essential.

The holiday is likely to be tailored to your requirement but here is a suggestion.

How to arrive.

Granada or Almería airports are the nearest airports. See flight information which gives advice for arriving by rail or air.

Public transport is possible from these airports if your flight arrives in the morning.

We provide private transfers as an option.

The walks

During the guided walks we will be able to show you areas you might be nervous of tackling alone or which require transport. In this way the scope of your holiday will be much wider.

During the walks we also hope to be able to give you a bit more insight into what you are seeing.

On some days you will explore in peace on your own. We provide maps, walk notes and backup support to make sure all goes well. These walks will be circular from your hotel door or linear, in which case you will have information enabling you to catch a local bus to return to base in the evening (or telephone us if you miss it!)

The village.

Trevélez provides a good central base. It is a thriving, interesting village where traditional life continues but the new industries of tourism and ham add a little life.

There are good options for eating out, and the hotel, attractively situated in the upper part of the village, has perhaps the best menu in the whole area.

Alternative venues. Depending on what you tell us of your interests and the season, we might suggest other villages for you to stay in. Trevélez is the highest village in Spain (1400 metres at the paper shop, but 1600 at "our place" at the top of the village), and has a perfect climate except in winter when it tends to be the coldest place to be.
