Accommodation

7 nights hotel. The accommodation on this trip is a real highlight. The simple but personal posadas, guesthouses, and hotels have been specially chosen for their character and location - usually in the heart of the village or town. Each of the owners are passionate about their region and usually have special restaurants to sample local specialties. Relaxing terraces or in the case of one hotel, the swimming pool, are perfect for winding down after a day of hiking.

Grading

INTRODUCTORY TO MODERATE – GRADE 2
This is a self guided walk with average daily stages of 1.5 to 6 hours (4-17.5km with ascents of up to 550m). The trip is graded introductory to moderate as it is mainly on wide unsurfaced tracks, footpaths or animal trails, with the occasional section on surfaced tracks or tarmac roads. Although sometimes the ascents are several kilometres long, they are gradual and technically easy. The use of walking sticks is recommended. A reasonable level of fitness is required. As with all of our trips it is important that you are well prepared. We suggest that you undertake regular exercise – swimming, cycling, and jogging, two to three times a week for three months prior to your departure.
