Trek and Ride

There are few better ways to discover Catalonia than by bike — from the high mountains of the Pyrenees all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

Our From the Pyrenees to the Sea journey is a ride through changing landscapes and changing colours. You leave the high mountain valleys behind, descend through the volcanic landscapes of La Garrotxa, follow quiet roads through forests, villages and rolling countryside, and eventually reach the blue waters and rugged coastline of the Costa Brava.

The beauty of this journey is that it never feels like a race. The roads are quiet, the cycling is enjoyable and the distances are there to be savoured. There is time to stop, to look around, to discover a village, and, most importantly, to sit down for a long lunch and enjoy the extraordinary food that Catalonia does so well.

And perhaps autumn is the perfect season to ride it. The mountains take on deeper colours, the forests glow, the air is crisp and fresh, and by the time you reach the Mediterranean, the sea is still warm and the summer crowds have disappeared.

A journey made for two wheels — and for taking your time. 🚴‍♂️🍂🌊

Your autumn walking holiday could look like this:

Wake up beside the Mediterranean.

Follow a coastal path through pine forest.

Stop at a hidden cove.

Walk into a medieval village.

Enjoy a long Catalan lunch.

And in the evening, watch the sun disappear over the sea.

Our Costa Brava walking holidays are designed for people who want to walk, discover and enjoy — without rushing from one place to the next.

Andorra in August.
While the valleys fill with shoppers, cars and the buzz of summer, we head higher.

Up into the mountains, where the air is cooler, the trails are quieter and the landscape explodes with colour.

Here, your companions are not crowds, but chamois, griffon vultures and marmots, moving through a sea of multicoloured alpine flowers.

This is the Andorra we love: wild, quiet and best discovered on foot.

Leave the crowds behind. Find the mountains.

Hiking in the Sierra de Grazalema.

The Pinsapar Forest

A forest you won't find everywhere.
The Pinsapar is home to the rare Spanish fir — a tree that has survived here for thousands of years.
On our Ronda & Sierra de Grazalema walking holiday, one of the stages takes us through this extraordinary forest, descending from the mountains towards Benamahoma.
No crowds. No rushing.
Just an ancient forest, mountain air and the sound of your footsteps.
This is why we hike.

The Poqueira Gorge - Alpujarras - Andalucía

One valley. Three white villages. A thousand stories.

The Poqueira Gorge cuts deep into the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, connecting some of the most beautiful villages in the Alpujarras.
Our trails take you through this extraordinary landscape, between ancient terraces, olive groves, mountain streams and whitewashed villages.

And yes — there is plenty of climbing. But that's part of the reward.
