From now until the end of January, Walks Worldwide is offering a special 15% discount on its walking tours in Spain’s stunning Alpujarras region, the last enclave of the Moors before they were eventually banished from the country in the 15th century. Choose from an Alpujarras Circuit offering village to village trekking, or a centre-based Alpujarras Explorer where travellers choose from a menu of day walks. Departures are available daily from either Malaga or Granada. Alpujarras Circuit: 8-day self-guided walking tour.
Combine lovely day walks exploring the almond orchards, olive groves and traditional white-washed villages high up in the southern Spanish mountains, with a 4-day trek walking from village to village at your own pace. The more ambitious can climb El Chullo (2,612m), one of the region’s highest peaks, or tackle a challenging 11-hour trek to the summit of Mulhacen. Evenings are spent in a handpicked selection of charming family-run hotels and pensions with opportunities to taste locally-grown food and other specialities.
The tour now costs £468 p/p (normally £550 – saving £82) including transfers, accommodation, most meals, maps and route notes. Flights are not included.
Alpujarras Explorer: 8-day self-guided, centre-based walking tour.
Guests are based at the restored Casa las Chimeneas guesthouse in the mountain village of Mairena. Walkers can choose from a menu of suggested day walks varying from leisurely meandering village paths to a wide variety of well-marked routes which head up high into the Sierras, including a bracing trail following the famous GR7 long distance track. Friendly English hosts are on hand to make helpful suggestions and discuss various walking options, plus provide a ‘pick-up’ and ‘drop-off’ service. Optional activities include mountain biking along forest trails, a visit to the wine growing town of Laujar, the last stronghold of the Moors, and a full day’s guided horse riding along the ancient Camino Reales. Car hire is also included on this tour, so guests can venture further afield – a visit to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, a 90-minute drive, is highly recommended.
The tour costs £468 p/p (normally £550 – saving £82) including accommodation, most meals, car hire, maps and route notes. Flights are not included.
