Mountain Hikes and Countryside Walks

On each day of your centre based hiking holiday you will hike on natural tracks and trails through the Serrania de Ronda and nearby Natural Parks. As well as stunning mountain vistas, you will witness how rural life in this quiet corner of Andalucia has  changed little for hundreds of years. Following each day of hiking, complete your Andalucian experience with cold drinks and delicious local tapas!

Our hiking guides have expert knowledge of the local area. They will lead you through each day’s walk, pointing out interesting sights along the way and sharing with you many of the cultural aspects of rural Spain.

Difficulty level

Our most popular centre based hiking holidays are at an intermediate to challenging level. Generally speaking, this gives the best variety of hikes and maximises the terrain you will experience. This level of walking will require a good level of overall fitness. You should be prepared for walking for 4-6 hours per day, often on rough or uneven terrain. All the routes involve some ascent and descent, sometimes steep or with a drop to the side. You will need a good pair of walking shoes or boots. Poles are not essential but you may wish to bring them if you are used to walking with them.

For your safety and peace of mind, our guides are qualified Outdoor First Aiders and carry a first aid kit.  Our minibus is on hand throughout your guided centre based hiking holiday to optimise route choice. It is also available to help out if anyone runs out of steam along the way!

Example Holiday Itinerary

Holiday itinerary is an example only. Itineraries can be changed to suit varying levels of fitness.

Accommodation

Our centre-based hiking holidays are located in a family-run, boutiuqe countryside hotel, just outside Ronda. The hotel is a beautifully restored olive mill, full of character and comfort. On 5 nights you will dine in the hotel's excellent restaurant, with 2 nights left free for you to explore Ronda's extensive range of restaurants and tapas bars. Standard accommodation is for 2 people in a double or twin room.

The Hotel Molino del Puente.....

If you prefer to stay in Ronda town, we can arrange accommodation at all levels here. We have good knowledge of all the hotels in town and maintain close relationships with our favourites. Standard accommodation is in a 4**** hotel in the centre of town, close to the bullring and main sights. If you have other specific requirements (pool, garden, views etc.), we can quote on a bespoke package fo you.

Whether you stay out of town or in the centre, Ronda is a wonderful town to visit and explore.

Highlights of centre based hiking holidays include:

• Dramatic scenery, peaceful and remote trails, stunningly beautiful region of southern Spain

• Varied walking terrain - hillside goat tracks, undulating valley trails, high mountain passes and unsurfaced farm lanes

• Historic town of Ronda

Self Guided Hiking Holidays

If you prefer to walk without a guide, some of our hiking routes can also be completed on a self-guided basis. These hikes are circular from the hotel or use public transport (in Ronda) for access to start and finish points. Some hikes are only possible with vehicle support. We can arrange self guided hiking holidays or a mix of guided and self guided. Just let us know what you prefer when you enquire.

Note: Self guided centre based hiking holidays are based in central Ronda hotels.
