Las Alpujarras in early spring is a sight to behold. The hills are covered in purples, pinks and whites and the air is scented with the heady smell of blossom. The Sierra Nevada is still covered in snow and makes an amazing backdrop for our days walking.

The guided walking holiday is five days long with three days guided walking and four nights in the excellent Alquiera de Morayma hotel. All food and transport in Spain provided.

The guided walks will be of a leisurely nature, to enjoy the scenery and give you the chance to appreciate this stunning area.

    All about the Walking In Blossom.

    A 4 night short guided walking holiday in the winter sunshine of the Sierra Nevada and Las Alpujarras. The month February and March are fabulous opportunity to walk in the almond blossom of the Contraviesa. Walking through vineyards and almond groves, the pinks and purples, and scents of the almonds create a heady atmosphere.

    Our three walks are all fairly leisurely but all different with great views and landscapes to walk through. The weather is usually dry and sunny at this time of the year. The temperatures will be good walking weather around 18oC in the sunshine but at night it will be cold. We will be staying the beautiful Alquiera De Morayma hotel for four nights. Eating in their lovely restaurant and enjoying the roaring fire.

    All our guided itineraries have airport transfers included. We will discuss with you the pick up options available.

    As you will be partaking in an activity holiday, it is a condition that you are adequately covered by the relevant insurance for medical and holiday cover. You will be asked to send proof of insurance when you have booked a holiday with us. We also recommend that you obtain your EHIC card which enables a citizen from the EU to health care anywhere within the EU.

    Most holiday insurance companies include walking as part of their normal policy – just make sure it goes up to 3500m if you are walking Mulhacen.

    Of course you can. If you are willing to share a room then there is no problem but if you want your own room there is a single supplement charge applicable.(120 Euro for 7 nights)

    We keep our guided groups to 8 people. We feel the group works better in a small more personalised group.

    We have never cancelled a week but we will inform you if the group on your chosen week is low on walkers.

    No, the choice is yours. If you want free day then just inform us at the time and we can hopefully give you other options or if you feel a walk maybe too much for you we can usually arrange a shorter version for you.

    All the hotels can cater for any diet. If you have a particularly allergy, just let us know and we will make sure the hotels are aware.
