A wonderful June week on our Discover Ordesa holiday, walking through Ordesa National Park, Bujaruelo, Aínsa and the Sobrarbe region, with canyons, vultures, flowers, viewpoints and plenty of mountain memories.
Often we travel far away seeking new adventures, cultures and landscapes. However, occasionally, these things are much closer to us than we think they are. Our adventure in the Catalan Pyrenees at the beginning of June was one of these cases. Read David’s trip report of the trip.
We had some great early season weather on our Valle de Tena Explorer trip last week. It’s always a delight to welcome people to our home village of Biescas. The wildflowers are simply stunning this season and at this time of year we’ve the trails to ourselves and the mountain tops are still white with snow.
Our new Canyons of Aínsa guided walking holiday explores one of the quieter and most varied walking regions in the Spanish Pyrenees. In this post, Juanma, one of our local guides, shares what makes the area so special — from the dramatic canyons of Añisclo and Escuaín...
A wonderful week walking through the spectacular landscapes of Riglos and Alquézar, with dramatic cliffs, soaring vultures, peaceful trails, spring flowers and unforgettable canyon scenery in the Spanish Pre-Pyrenees.
We’ve just returned from a wonderful private walking holiday in Priorat and Beceite, combining Mediterranean mountain walks, wine tastings, historic villages, local food and some very special encounters with the people who make this area so memorable.
Over Easter, my son Christopher and I started an adventure on the GR11, hiking a 60 km section over four days from Cap de Higer on the Atlantic coast to Elizondo in the Baztan area of the Pyrenees. The aim is to walk the whole of the GR11 trans-Pyrenean trail all the way to the Mediterranean in stages over several years.
