Walking holidays testimonials

"Having committed myself to the charity Moonwalk 2008, I was delighted to find that you were able to provide me both with routes for training and also accompany me on fabulous walks taking in some stunning scenery. It is a great idea to have different grades of walk to cater for fitness and at times varying energy levels. I would be happy to recommend the walks to anybody whether for pleasure or training. I am looking forward to my next visit already!"

"We (Evan and Colin, two very mature walkers) were met by Caroline and Neil and taken to their home, a converted town house offering a home from home holiday with all the benefits of English speaking guides, complete with detailed maps of the area and details of the walks in terms of distance, approx time and interesting things to see while on route.

The area offers walks for all requirements from circular wanders through olive groves, acres of orange and peach trees of between 2 –20 kms all starting within 50 metres of the house on flat roads in the valley.

For a longer walk we followed a well marked path from the small village of Lorcha climbing through the La Safor mountains to a height of 400 metres before descending to a disused railway track alongside the river Serpis which we followed for around 11 klms, the total length of the walk is 22 kms. For us this was a good walk offering views from the mountains and along the river an abundance of wild life, rabbits, birds and fish to watch as we ambled along passing through some tunnels made by English Victorian engineers who built the railway.

The second longish walk was very different, we set out to climb Benicadell - this mountain towers to a height of 1078mtrs.The walk is well marked and the smell of the pines, wild mint and rosemary seems to be everywhere on the mountain, only the last 60 metres is a bit of a scramble but the view from the top makes it all worth while, on a clear day it is possible to see the sea.

In conclusion the holiday offered wonderful walking, and hospitality to match."
