Centre-Based Walking Holidays

On all our centre-based walking holidays we stay at a small hotel, private lodge or farmhouse for the duration of the trip, taking the hassle away from having to unpack each day. There is always plenty of time to relax, with optional visits or walks available for those who wish. These trips are perfect for couples, singles or groups of friends travelling together, with each accommodation hand-picked for its character and location, quality of food and warm welcome on your return from a day’s exploration.

Centre-based walking tours are ideal for those who are new to the activity, but also make great short breaks for more experienced walkers. And wherever you choose to go, you’ll find yourself in the heart of one of the most scenic and spectacular areas of Europe, within easy access of great walks, culture or activities.

Solo travel

Around half our small-group trips are filled by solo travellers, joining other single travellers, couples and groups of friends. It’s a great way to meet new people, and you’ll never have to pay a single-person supplement. You’ll share a room with someone of the same sex – although in some instances you can choose to pay extra for your own room – and often these people become friends for life.

That’s the great thing about our guided-group adventures: you’re guaranteed to be travelling with like-minded people from a range of backgrounds. And age differences just don’t matter.

I’ve wanted to visit Andalucia for more than 20 years and this trip did not disappoint. It was, to me, the perfect blend of rural walking and city time- with my favorite moments being the pastures and small villages, learning about olive production, local plants, and life in Algamitas. The Cortijo is lovely, and though simple, had everything we need (including a pool!) The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and Felipe, the manager, was especially thoughtful in taking care of everyone. My traveling companion and I both have dietary/medical restrictions and Felipe and the wonderful kitchen staff went to great lengths to ensure we had what we needed (we know gluten free pasta, bread and cereal can’t be easy to come by in a rural area, and that making a separate version of a meal is a lot of work), but made it seem effortless. Our guide, Miguel, is funny and personable and knows so much about the area: archaeology, geology, plant life, birds, and people- and he clearly makes a great effort to know the neighbors in the village and connect with people. He also runs a tight ship to keep people safe and cared for! He also goes to great lengths to make sure his groups have a great time and get to do the things they want to do. I thought the walking was the right challenge for a level 2- the biggest variable was the sun and heat, but he made sure we were hydrated and prepared. We didn’t have any rain, but that would also make for a different kind of challenge. And we lucked out with a group of lovely, funny, caring fellow-travelers. This trip was to celebrate my friends’ and my 40th birthdays this year, and it was exactly what we wanted it to be!

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was a great blend of walking through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, tasting organic wines, sampling delicious local foods, and getting a bit of Renaissance and medieval history with visits to Sienna, Florence, and San Girmignano.
