What makes Bootlace special - “the flexibility and the relaxed, informal atmosphere of the small groups combined with deep local knowledge” - “Spectacular scenery, astounding walks” - “a familiarity with the less frequented footpaths and the best views, the most idyllic picnic spots” - “It’s like being with friends or the very best kind of relatives” - “The food is too good” |
|
| A refreshing and renewing experience, walking with us in a journey back through time and into the heart of nature. The Sierra Nevada mountains and foothills are steeped in history and gifted with a rare geography - from sub-tropical through to alpine - the area was recognised by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1986 and is one of Spain’s most loved and visited National Parks. |

|
| Our walks follow many of the old Moorish and Roman trade routes and acequias (arab irrigation channels) which criss-cross the rugged landscape and lead us from fertile terraces surrounding the whitewashed Berber style villages to soaring mountainsides and secret hidden valleys. You will see places, rare plants and animals that the casual tourist never finds and glimpse a life which has changed little over the last few hundred years. Most of the walks are circular and we use our Landrover to gain access to the more remote locations. Each week is carefully planned to suit weather conditions and the needs of the group members, with five walking days and one rest day.

| Bootlace is a seasonal family business. We have welcomed people on our refreshing and renewing holiday weeks since 1995. Our small, friendly groups are an ideal way to get to know this region, on the southern slopes of the impressive Sierra Nevada mountain range. |
