Guided Walking
Walking Holidays in Spain - Mainland - Gredos - Two Centred Trek
This a two centre holiday where you walk from one hotel to the other on transfer day.
The Area
This is one of the truly special places in Spain which few visitors ever have the privilege of knowing with a magnificent natural environment and everyday sights of goatherds and their flocks wandering the mountainsides farmers harvesting by hand and carrying their produce in panniers on donkeys’ backs all reflecting a culture still rooted in an age long past.
Most of the area falls within the Gredos Regional Park covering some 213098 acres -a natural paradise. Majestic horned mountain goats abound and tawny vultures golden eagles brightly coloured woodpeckers and red kites are to be spotted in this bird watcher's paradise.
Walking- Self Guided
The walking is of an easy to moderate nature with a few challenges for the more adventurous. Many walks are available from the hotels whilst some are just a short drive away.
If you do not have your own car the hotel will gladly arrange transport for you payable locally. Your first few days are spent on the northern side of the Gredos where you will walk through a wild open sparsely populated expanse with sweeping views that will have you staring for ever!
You will come across fresh mountain streams possibly still fed by the melting snows on the higher peaks and follow them down through flower-filled valleys. You then walk to your second hotel (5 hours) on the other side of the Gredos range your baggage being transferred for you.
You climb up to and then along a mountain ridge and descend an ancient Roman road; the only one we know of with hairpin bends as it winds down the mountain side to your second hotel! Here there are fragrant lemon trees olive groves and vineyards reflecting the warmer south facing slopes. The contrast is most definite!
Visit some of the villages of this lovely valley along mule tracks, bridle paths and sections of an ancient Roman road. Yet you can still walk into the high mountains where the scenery is more jagged with spectacular waterfalls.
