Our Camino experience from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela was amazing. All went to plan with bags arriving as scheduled. In the main the hotels we stayed in were good with dinners and breakfasts of a good standard. The hotel staff were friendly and were able to explain how things worked, told us what time bags were required each morning. The actual was great with many pilgrims to chat to along the way. We made some great acquaintances along the way from a range of countries which was great. All in all a great experience that I would recommend highly.
Hidden gem near Costa Blanca Really enjoyed this hiking trip. Often travelling to Spain but it was the first time for me to experience Sierra de Aitana. Very close to Costa Blanca but felt secluded and peaceful. Hikes are interesting and varied; not very demanding, but i guess this is more of personal view as all depends on person's fitness and hiking experience (also the weather could be a factor). We started our week with rainy weather but finished with plenty of sunshine. Paths vary, some have lots of scree and stones, some approaches are very rocky...this variety keeps things interesting. I found some hikes were easier in terms of approach than expected but anyway José was always on hand. Hotel is located away from everything and this provides tranquility and peaceful environment...really enjoyable moments sitting on the terrace after hike soaking up beautiful views. Great service from friendly Raquel (the owner) who prepared our tasty meals and provided us with freshly squeezed orange juice. The sandwich lunches were impressive and this comes from someone who is not a sandwich person - freshly prepared with plenty of variety - very tasty and nutritious. The highlight - hiking in the company of Bobby (the dog).
Exceptional Guiding in a beautiful mountain range Very well thought through itinerary in beautiful and sometimes spectacular locations. Exceptional guiding from Jacob who was flexible to the needs of the group and a font of local information, positivity and encouragement.
