All-Inclusive Walking Holidays
Rugged limestone peaks, softly rounded sandstone
mountains, orange groves, paddy fields and long,
long sandy beaches; the variety of landscapes
here is unique. Our walking programme takes full
advantage of this, interspersing longer walking
days with shorter ones. On longer days we provide
a picnic lunch and take you out for dinner at
a good local restaurant in the evening. On the
shorter days we walk in the morning and provide
lunch somewhere special, be it in a castle with
fabulous views, on the beach or after a stunning
boat ride by a lake - all of course is included
in the price!
 |
Our longer walks include
the highly popular railway walk where we drive
almost to the top of the Sierra La Safor ridge
and make a gradual descent to the picturesque
village of L’Orcha, returning along
a disused railway line, through tunnels and
steep-sided gorges, following the course of
the river Serpis on the banks of which we
stop for a picnic lunch. |
Or perhaps it will feature a gentle climb through
pine forests beneath the impressive peak of El
Garbi mountain to picnic on the ridge of La Redonda
where panoramic views extend over Valencia, the
historical town of Sagunto, the Palencia valley
and the Sierra Espadan natural park.
| Our shorter walks include
a walk through the beautiful protected valley
of La Murta home to over 500 different species
of flora, and an interesting disused monastery.
A short drive to L’ Albufera lake then
takes you on a boat crossing to lunch at one
of the best paella restaurants in Valencia.
Or how about a ridge walk across the extinct
volcanic hills that separate the beach of
Cullera from the paddy fields and nearby mountains,
followed by lunch by the beach in a beautiful
white sanded bay. |
 |
Each walk is different and all walks are easy
to moderate, although we do have some more challenging
options for the more adventurous. Some of the
walks have an easier option as well so that if
you feel like more of a stroll on the day this
will not be a problem.
Independent Walking
Holidays
On the banks of the river Palancia, nestling in
the valley between the mountain ranges of the
Sierra Calderona and the Sierra Espadan, our base
at Segorbe offers many walking opportunities -
some right from the front door of your hotel.
 |
Again
here you have a choice of shorter and longer
walking days, on two of which we drive you
further into the nearby natural parks to enjoy
the two guided walks that this holiday includes.
Here too, a key feature is the variety of
scenery on offer. We have a railway and riverbank
walk that follows a disused rail route through
tunnels, over a dam, and past pretty cascades
before stopping for lunch in the pretty village
of Navajas and returning to the hotel through
fields of sharonfruits, oranges and cherries.
|
Or how about a gentle climb through cork oaks
and pines, past civil war fortifications and on
to a beautifully restored ice house, before returning
to the village of Chovar for a fine paella lunch.
| We offer a choice of self-guided
walks with full route notes, most of which
are easy to moderate. On the two guided walking
days, lunch or a picnic is provided. |
