What an amazing week! I wholeheartedly recommend this trip for anyone who is looking for a slightly challenging walk in beautiful countryside. The farmhouse is simply wonderful, spotlessly clean and was a pleasure coming back to after a long day of walking. Our group was friendly and I laughed the entire week. I was a bit worried about going on my own and having never been on an Exodus trip before I didn't know what to expect. The week totally exceeded my expectations. Our days were well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. I was sad to leave. I'm looking into booking my next Exodus trip as soon as possible.
An enjoyable week - recommended It's almost superfluous to repeat what everyone else says - that the hotel is relaxed, informal and friendly and the food is excellent. The walking programme is fine-tuned by the leader on a daily basis to take account of the weather and the abilities of the party.
This was a lovely trip! The 'Picos De Europa' area in northern Spain is vast but little known and there are very few tourists compared with elsewhere in Spain. It is surprisingly 'Alpine' in feel, with beautiful with high, pointed mountains, interspersed with some lovely, flowery meadows. Goats, wild horses and light-brown cows with big bells wander around everywhere. We very much enjoyed walking in this area, with our friendly, competent leader, Nacho. The lovely, family-run hotel is simple but comfortable and very friendly - nothing is too much trouble. The home-cooked food - a choice of three main courses daily - is surprisingly good and the lunch 'rolls' were MASSIVE with lots of filling! Any fairly fit walker would love this trip and I would highly recommend it.
