This trip can run 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. The summer months are simply too hot for you to enjoy the walks.

Although Grazalema is famously the wettest place in Spain, the majority of this falls in winter months, from mid-November onwards.

For most days you can expect to spend around three to four hours walking if going at quite a leisurely pace. We have designed the routes to give you ample time to go at your own pace, stop for a picnic lunch or a coffee and to enjoy the landscapes as you go.

The accommodation tends towards the premium end of the scale on this trip. Where trails lead across the glorious countryside, a post-walk dip in the pool, swing in a hammock or drink on a scenic terrace will always follow.

You start at one of our favourite countryside hotels. It is family-run, blissfully peaceful and the food is top-notch.

You then finish in Vejer in a seven-room boutique hotel in the quiet Jewish quarter. Rooms are light, spacious and modern, with plenty of room to spread out. 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!

For sure. You spend a great deal of time in small villages and collectively your guides and hosts are a great wealth of local knowledge and engaging company.

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 15% deposit to secure your holiday, with the remainder due eight 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.
