For individual travellers or small groups - semi guided holiday.

This is our suggestion for individual travelers who prefer not to join a group but who would also appreciate some guidance in exploring a new area. 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 for you to consider.

How to arrive.

Granada or Almería airports are the nearest airports and public transport is possible from either if your flight arrives in the morning. See flight information.

Alternatively we can provide transfers or you might like to hire a car.

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.

For the days you are exploring in peace on your own we provide maps, walk notes and backup support to make sure all goes well. These walks will be circular based on the village and linear spreading east and west. You will get a bus to return to base in the evening (or telephone us if you miss it!).

The village of 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.
