Cultural Holidays in Spain

This is an unspoilt and spectacular area which surprisingly is still very accessible and close to Alicante. The hiking is lovely with great views and variety. Except for one descent which is slightly trickier, all the walks are quite doable for a fit person. The accomodation is boutique, authentic and personalised with lovely food. The guide Jose is outstanding. It’s his business and he is passionate about the region. He is knowledgeable, good fun and an excellent communicator. This was the perfect trip for us in February and I would highly recommend it.

Alison Durbin Hike Spain's Sierra de Aitana

A really enjoyable week’s hiking with a fabulous group of people. Sometimes the accommodation can be questionable on Exodus trips, but on this occasion the small family run hotel was lovely, clean, great location in the town and the staff/owner’s could not do enough for you.
The hike’s were varied and some days the views breathtaking. The town of Arenas Las Cabrales is ideal an a base to explore the area; and has a good selection of bars and restaurants. Which was a little frustrating, as the evening meals provided on the trip were usually at the same restaurant, which was okay, but it would have been better to experience other places. On the day off we did the kayaking, which was good fun, the days guide was careful to manage our safety; especially as we capsized a few times in the small rapids!! The other choice was a coastal walk and a visit to a small town. The photo’s we saw from other group members suggested that this was a really good option as well!

Lee Brooks Hike Spain’s Picos de Europa

I loved the hikes on this trip, especially the gorge walk and the hike on day 6. Really enjoyed the week in the mountains with our group and spending the week in Arenas de Cabrales. Most hikes we did not see anyone so it was nice feeling we had the trails to ourselves. The gorge walk is very popular so there are other hikers, but it is a long walk so did not feel crowded. Really impressed with the hikes on the itinerary. I feel I could not do these hikes on my own and find some of these trails so being with an experienced guide with Exodus was the way to go.
