This trip can run from March through June and September through to early November.

In spring and autumn, you can expect it to be warm and sunny with average daytime temperatures of around 15-25°C. In July and August temperatures can rise to 30°C and above, which is too hot to enjoy the hikes.

This is our easiest and most comfortable walking holiday, with short and generally flat trails and easy navigation. If you are walking fit then it should hold no fears.

You stay in the very pretty white village of Vejer de la Frontera on this trip. As well as being plum in the centre of everywhere you'll want to explore, it's very easy going and compact, with lots of excellent restaurants and cafes.

Because you stay in one place for the whole week, we've taken great care to make sure we find the right place for you. You'll need somewhere quiet, with plenty of space to spread out and relax, a few touches of luxury to enjoy and a friendly host who gives you plenty of independence and privacy whilst being on hand to help when you need it.

We found all those things and more at a wonderful hotel in the quieter Jewish quarter. Little things like having unfettered access to tea/coffee-making facilities and being able to wander up to a panoramic rooftop terrace make your stay even more enjoyable.

Although this is a largely independent walking holiday, we are always on hand to help and advise should you need us and for emergencies, you have 24-hour number to call. It should be said though that we provide easy-to-use navigational guidance for both walking and driving, meaning it should be very difficult for you to get into any bother!

Absolutely! It's very important to us that you leave Andalucía with a sense of having connected with the people, food and ways of life, to go along with your photos and dusty boots.

Your guides and hosts are your primary connection to the local culture and you have plenty of time to enjoy their company. As well as sharing the places they love with you, they are here to help you connect with the locals, be it your host at dinner or the bodega, or simply the people you meet as you walk and travel.

For two people travelling to Spain, you can expect a medium-sized vehicle such as a VW Golf. We can’t guarantee specific make or model.

We can provide a hybrid vehicle if you begin and end at Málaga airport. If this is of interest, please let us know - the reason we have not included it as standard (as much as we'd love to) is that it is a fair bit more expensive than a 'regular' car, though it does invariably include full insurance and an additional driver.

As Yvon Chouinard, of Patagonia, Inc. rightly declared: “To do good, you actually have to do something.”

Therefore, for every kilometre travelled by road, air and sea on your Pura Aventura holiday, we carbon balance it by a mile - i.e. by 160% of your trip's carbon, from your front door and back again, irrespective of whether we book your international travel or not.

This is one of the travel industry's most ambitious and innovative schemes and has recently been praised by Wanderlust, Condé Nast Traveller and The Independent.

We take a 20% deposit to secure your holiday, with the remainder due ten weeks before your departure.

Your money is 100% protected through our ATOL licence if your trip includes a flight booked through us, or through our ABTOT bond if it does not. Either way, this protection provides a cast iron financial guarantee and helps you book with complete peace of mind. Because the contract between us exists here in the UK, you get this protection regardless of where you live.
