About Our Self-Guided Walking Holidays

Our Self-Guided Walking Holidays

Ibex Trex self guided walking holidays are carefully designed for walkers to enjoy these fabulous hiking areas in Spain. We have spent time in these national and natural parks discovering the best routes, the wildlife and of course comfortable hotels at the end of the day with great food.

  • All our areas are no further than 2 hours from a major airport with good airlines and transfers available.
  • Walking from good hotel to good hotel along the best routes in the area. We love to discover new areas and we spend time designing what we think are the best itineraries.
  • Only use local family run hotels where possible.
  • Employ local people with good knowledge of the area.
  • Include the opportunity to visit the best  places in each area - e.g. the Alhambra, Ronda, Fuente De, Cueva De Pileta

All our holidays can be tailored to suit you and your party:- e.g. 5 days Sierra Nevada with 5 days Grazalema including a great rail transfer from Granada to Ronda.

How Hard Is The Walking?

We have graded our walking levels from our experience with past clients and our extensive knowledge of walking, trekking and hiking over the past 20 years here in Spain and the U.K. Most clients find this accurate but if you find when you have come and taken on a walk you don't want we can always change it when you are here.
