SIERRA DE AITANA TREK
Not a single hour went past without a "wow" moment. Stunning landscapes, great accommodation, lovely people. However, I would rate this more as a C grade – the walks were long and steep.
Most Inspirational Moment
The entire trip was pretty awesome, The views are so varied, it is impossible to get bored with the scenery. It seemed that at least a couple of times a day, we turned a corner and all said "Wow! I didn't expect to see that!". The places we stayed were friendly and clean. The best has to be the last - a homestay with the lovely warm Violetta and her beautiful family in their rambling but awesome family farm home. You could stay a week in that place and still have cool things to discover.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jose was witty, knowledgeable, and a real people person. He was passionate about his local area (where we were walking) and even invited us all round to the little cottage and smallholding he was working do hard to build and grow.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Trekking poles are strongly recommended - there are many steep and rocky climbs and descents and your feet and knees do get a bit of a bashing! I would rate this more as a C grade trip. Long days and steep climbs / descents made for very hard work, albeit in stunning scenery.

SIERRA DE AITANA TREK
A great week in a beautiful area with fantastic food, characterful accommodation and a great guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
This was a good hard week of walking, but the sense of achievement in getting to the tops of the peaks was great and the views were stunning. The area is really unspoilt which was refreshing. All three accommodations were welcoming, comfortable and served excellent food and wine and allowed us to get a taste of the real Spain.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jose was knowledgeable, friendly, good company and enthusiastic about his local area. Very good!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bear in mind that although the weather is mostly good (and was great for us for 4 out of 5 days walking) you may encounter adverse weather conditions in winter and need to be prepared for this. On the last day though we were in T-shirts on top of the highest peak in the area and that was early February!

We knew nothing at all about this area in advance – other than the Exodus write up. If anything, we were a bit apprehensive, because Alicante and Benidorm get a bad press in the UK. Why do we never hear of this unspoilt, fantastic scenery just inland?
Most Inspirational Moment
On the top of Puig Campana on the last day - towering over Benidorm and the Med - warm sun and yet early February - a terrific achievement!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was ideal - local; passionate about the area; excellent command of English; very good with people; an excellent organiser... what more do we want?
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a strenuous week. The mountains are rocky and steep and the distances about 12 miles most days. We managed (and we are in our 70s) but we could not have done much more.
