Strolls, Sightseeing & Siestas - Walking for Softies 22 - 29 September (BLStroll12)- price €594 Taking it easy or a great introduction to walking with Bootlace, this is a week at a gentler pace with visits to Granada and the coastal nature reserve at Cantarrijan. |
||
| Based at the atmospheric Casa de Luz, restored from the original bodega (winery) in the small market town of Pitres, this is a week to enjoy being out and about in the Alpujarra without the challenge of too many steep mountainsides to negotiate on foot… As well as picnic excursions in beautiful mountainous locations with short walks, and a visit to Granada, the programme for the week includes exploring the white villages of the Alpujarra, a visit to local herbal expert and author Julio Donat and a walk through the coastal nature reserve at Cantarijjan near the historic town of Almuñecar. | ||

Autumn in the Heights 20 - 27 October 2012 (BLAut12) - €590 At Fernando’s Hideaway (1700m) and including nights in two of Spain’s highest villages and at the Refugio Poqueira (2500m) below the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada, Mulhacen (3483m). An opportunity to enjoy seasonal sweet chestnuts and field mushrooms with autumn bird life and wild ibex to spot. During this new week of high level walking we spend the first few days at Fernando’s Cortijo. At over a mile high this is an ideal base for acclimatising to the altitude, and getting the legs in high mountain gear for exploring the tranquil Sierras de Cañar and Soportujar and later in the week gaining the Refugio Poqueira and following some of the most attractive sections of the high long-distance path GR240. Includes a night at the Refugio and another in two of Spain’s highest villages, Capileira and Pitres. |
