Walking Holidays Collection 2017 to March 2018

Welcome to our Walking Holidays Collection with departures up to March 2018 - from an airport near you!

Since we took our first group to the Costa Dorada in 2004, our programme of walking holidays now includes more than ten countries. Each holiday includes three guided walks and there is often the opportunity to walk more if you want to. The aim on all our walking holidays has always been to combine the pleasures and benefits of both foreign travel and scenic walking trails. So in this Collection you’ll find a wonderful and varied choice of destinations and styles – single and multi-centre, lakes and mountains, coast and cities, providing the ideal mixture of the great outdoors and visits with historical and cultural fascination. The type of walking varies too – from the high peaks on the Tatras, Pyrenees and Transylvanian Alps to the coastal paths of the Algarve, Costa Brava and Cinque Terre; from the sparkling blue waters of the Italian Lakes to the sand dunes and great wetlands of the Camargue and the Donana.

One of the reasons for the growing popularity of our walking holidays is the wide range of regional departures on offer from all points in the UK. You can choose from more than twenty airports; from Exeter to Aberdeen, from Stansted to Belfast! Flying from an airport near you not only saves time, but money too. And the great majority of our holidays include dinner each evening, adding even more value.

We hope you will find something that will appeal to you in this Collection. If you do – give us a call on 0116 279 3929 – we think you will find this a different experience. No hanging around listening to a series of options, no ‘please wait for the next available operator’ – a real person will answer you straight away!

We also offer Escorted Holidays throughout Europe including some which operate in parallel with walking holidays in this brochure. If you would like details of these and other escorted holidays call us on 0116 279 3929 or visit www.preferredts.com.

Mallorca

DAY ONE: Flight to Palma. On arrival you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel, the Bella Playa, for seven nights half board accommodation. Transfer time 50 minutes.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: There are three walks arranged especially for Preferred Travel Services Customers (details below). In addition, the hotel has its own programme of outings (daily except Sunday), including our featured walks and other additional activities such as a bike ride to Arta (bike hire approx £9).

Walk 1: Cala Ratjada introductory walk. You will head into the dunes of Cala Agulla, and then go around the peninsula of Cala Ratjada, via Cala Lliteras before arriving at the lighthouse, located at an altitude of 70m, and from where you can see the neighbouring island of Menorca. Then you follow the coast down to beautiful Cala Gat and on to Cala Ratjada port. The distance to here is 6 miles: the walk will finish at the port and our experience is that almost all customers will indeed be happy to finish there. However, your walking guides will assist anyone who wishes to extend the walk, by continuing in the direction of Font de Sa Cala, a further 2 miles each way.

Walk 2: The mountains of S’heretat and Sa Cove Negre hill. You head first along the coast to Na Taconera, and then cross the hills and take a stony path up to 230m in altitude, before descending to Capdepera, where there is the chance to visit the castle. 7 miles approx.

Walk 3: You head through the pine forest and cross the Es Munt Gros dunes, before going along the coast to the Punta des Boc (80m high). You will return along a cobbled path passing through Cala Molto and Cala Agulla. This walk is 11 miles long. A shorter version may also be available. Nearby is the ascent to the Son Jaumell watchtower, 270m up – you may wish to return this way on a free day and do the climb.

From Cala Ratjada there are bus services to Palma and other places on the island. Near Canyamel can be found the Arta Caves, full of amazing rock formations such as the ‘Queen of Pillars’. The caves were a place of refuge for 2,000 Arabs in 1229 when hiding from King Jaume I when the Christians conquered Mallorca.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure transfer to the airport for your flight home.

Majorca is not all beaches and tacky tourist outlets. As you go to the north–eastern side of the island, Majorca undergoes a remarkable transformation; changing from high-rise apartment blocks and hotels to the calmer shores around Cala Ratjada, where your hotel is located. You are now firmly in Mallorca, with its Hispanic spelling and atmosphere, rather than in the land of its Anglo-Saxon translation! You have the chance to explore the real Mallorca from your base at the Hotel Bella Playa, just a few metres from the stunning beach of Cala Agulla.

8 days from £649 March to May, September & October 2017, March 2018

PROGRAMME

YOUR HOTELHOTEL BELLA PLAYA HHHH, Cala Ratjada. (seven nights)

Prices are based on standard rooms. Superior rooms are available at a supplement. The hotel has an outdoor pool and a wellness centre with sauna, 2 Turkish baths and relaxation room – free of charge for hotel guests - and free wifi access on the Terrace Bar and in Reception. There is a buffet meal each night included with a huge selection of food, including local specialities (www. bellaplaya.com).

Catalonia

DAY ONE: Flight to Reus or Barcelona. Transfer to your hotel, just under an hour away. Seven nights half board accommodation is reserved for you.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions:

Walk 1: Coastal Walk from La Mora to Torredembarra. After a short coach transfer you start your walk near the medieval Mora watchtower. You cross the beach and the headland before reaching Tamarit and its castle. You head along the beach and then a short way inland, up the river, to explore the ‘witches’ village’ of Altafulla. The coastal area, the story goes, was plagued by pirates and smugglers: the word was put out that the upper part of the village was populated by witches, so as to discourage attack! You return to the wide beach and climb onto the headland to reach ‘Els Munts’, an impressive Roman villa (the word means a farmstead). Nearby there are other, rather less impressive, holiday ‘villas’. You descend into Torredembarra – the town has a pleasant old quarter and beach. Total so far 6 miles, 80m of climb/descent. Nearby is a dune area, a haven for birds and of ecological importance: you will have time to explore it if you wish. You return to the hotel by train.

Walk 2: The Foix Natural Park and Modernist l’Arboç. Short coach transfer (20 minutes) to the entry to the Foix Natural Park Area. You start this country walk near Penyafort Castle. Your route takes you along lanes and paths close to vineyards, with views of the Sierra del Montmell. The route undulates gently amid rich vegetation, approaching Castellet, with its impressive lakeside castle – now home to a UNESCO International Biosphere Research Centre. There are fine views over the reservoir – watch out for cormorants and other birdlife. After a stop, you then follow lanes to l’Arboç village, home to a lacemaking tradition, and with impressive modernist buildings, its ‘Indian Houses’ and Giralda Tower – a copy of the one in Seville. 6.9 miles, 100m ascent/descent.

Walk 3: Villages of the Alt Camp & the Cistercian Route. After a half-hour coach transfer to the unusual, modernist sanctuary at Monferri, you walk the country lane towards Brafim (socks and shoes off at the ford if the river is high, though there are stepping stones!) and the

Sanctuary of Loreto (views). Further on, you reach Vila-Rodona, where there is a Roman Columbarium and shaded picnic tables by the river. You join the ‘Cistercian Route’ and continue alongside the River Gaia, once the limit of Moorish occupation, crossing and re-crossing the (normally gentle) river on rather narrow wooden footbridges, before reaching Santes Creus, one of the three great Catalan Monasteries, which you can visit. 9 miles, 70m climb/descent.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure to the airport for your flight home.

Mainly known in the UK for the beaches of the Costa Brava and Dorada, Catalonia is a region with an incredibly rich variety of landscapes. Close to the coast, the rolling highlands offer lovely views towards the sea and inland towards the heights of the Sierras, which are rich in wildlife and flora. Your walks feature both landscapes, as well as the character-filled villages of the interior.Your base is Coma-Ruga, a pleasantly unspoilt resort with an excellent beach in the quieter Penedes area of the ‘Golden Coast’, the Costa Dorada, between Barcelona and Tarragona. There is an excellent, reasonably priced rail service to both cities. Apart from the wine-producing counties of the Penedes, you also walk in the adjacent Alt Camp, the ‘High Country’.

8 days from £629 April, May & October

PROGRAMME

YOUR HOTELNUBAHOTEL HHHH, Coma-Ruga (seven nights)

The hotel stands close to the broad sandy beach. This unspoilt resort is quiet out of season, rather busier at weekends from June to September when there is an entertainment programme in the hotel, with music on Saturday evenings. A reasonable selection of shops, bars and restaurants is about 10 minutes walk (700m) away, and the railway station with half-hourly departures to Barcelona is about 15 minutes walk. There is also a local bus service to the nearby county town of El Vendrell, birthplace of Pablo Casals: his villa, now an interesting museum, is within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel has a spa centre (a reasonable extra charge applies), restaurant, bar, lounge, and outdoor pool. Rooms, which all have balcony, also have 2 queen size beds, bathroom with hairdryer, phone, air-conditioning/heating, satellite LCD tv, and safety deposit box (charge applies). Free wifi in public areas. (www.nubahotelcomarruga.com)

Catalonia - Trails & Rails

DAY ONE: Flight to Barcelona or Reus. Transfer to your hotel just under an hour away for seven nights half board hotel accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included Trails & Rails walks. Please note: we will pre-purchase train tickets, but occasionally trains can be quite busy for the first 2 or 3 stops.

Please note: All three walks have sections which are more difficult than other walks in this brochure, paths being steep, narrow and rocky in places, particularly following erosion. On all three walks there is an easier option, but even this on Walk 3 is tricky in places.

Walk 1: The Cistercian Route from l’Espluga de Francoli to medieval Montblanc. Coach transfer to l’Espluga de Francoli (45 minutes). After walking through this old wine village you walk gradually uphill towards the sanctuary of the Trinity (coffee stop). You continue through a forested area, on a broad path before reaching St John’s Hermitage and then descending towards the town of Montblanc. 6 miles, 250m of ascent/descent. The easier option (4.5 miles, 70m ascent/descent) misses out the Hermitage and avoids a climb and a steep descent, allowing extra time in Montblanc instead.

Montblanc is a little jewel: a completely unspoilt medieval town with fine ramparts, shady streets and impressive churches and squares – especially the Placa Major, the Main Square. This is the town where St George supposedly fought against the dragon, to save the princess! From Montblanc you catch the train back to the coast.

Walk 2: Priorat. You catch the 0948 train to the little village station at Marça, amid the DOC Montsant wine district, and in the county of Priorat, arriving at 1101. The line is spectacular, especially after it emerges from the Argentera tunnel (completed in 1890). Marça is where the International Brigades (including the British Battalion) massed in preparation for the disastrous Battle of Ebro in 1938. The walk is circular, but the landscapes on the outward section – vineyards and olive groves with a spectacular craggy backdrop – are very different to the second part where, after passing Capçanes, you go through a wood and climb through a rocky gully part of the way. 7

miles, 160m of ascent/ descent. The easier option (4 miles) ends in Capçanes with a coach transfer back to Marça. You return to the coast by coach (one hour).

Walk 3: The Coastal Path: l’Ametlla de Mar to l’Ampolla. You take the 0848 train south down the coast to l’Ametlla de Mar – journey time one hour. On this walk you will discover the natural beauty of this protected part of the coast. You will follow in the footsteps of patrolmen who, in centuries gone by, used the pathways to look out for invaders, pirates or smugglers. The route crosses coves and beaches: much is totally unspoilt, though in some places you will marvel at the depredations not of pirates, but of Spanish planning – or, rather, the apparent lack of it! The whole walk to l’Ampolla is just under 11 miles with ascent/descent of 170m. The easier option ends after 7 miles at Playa de l’Aliga, with an onward coach transfer to l’Ampolla. Return to Coma-Ruga is by train from l’Ampolla.

DAY EIGHT: Transfer to the airport for your flight home.

We have featured ‘Walking in Catalonia’ for a few years now. As our hotel is situated just 15 minutes walk from the local railway station it gives us the opportunity to explore further this part of Catalonia. The local station is on the main line between Barcelona and Tarragona and the journey to either (which you can do in your spare time) is very pleasant as the train hugs the coastline. But there are also a few local lines which pass through unspoilt Catalan countryside, where pretty villages huddle around their church and wine cellar, unchanged by time. Between them roll hills of olives and vines, interrupted by occasional rocky crags or coves, and seemingly randomly-positioned railway halts. Recalling the days when the trains on these lesser-used lines were of great import to the country and its government, each off-the-beaten-track station seems to be home to an enormous traffic office (now often derelict) where, presumably, teams of civil servants supervised the running of the railway! One line goes west and inland into the Priorat, an area famed for its wine as much as its beautiful countryside. The other line goes north to Montblanc at the foot of the Prades mountain range.

Costa Brava – Coast and Volcanoes

DAY ONE: Flight to Gerona or Barcelona, transfer to your hotel for seven nights half board accommodation in St Feliu de Guixols. Transfer time is 40 minutes from Gerona airport, 90 minutes from Barcelona.

St Feliu de Guixols certainly has the coves, beaches and spectacular marine landscapes that make the Costa Brava famous, but the town itself has an interesting history too. The impressive Benedictine monastery dates from the 10th century. There is an indoor market, whose hall dates from 1929, since when it is illegal to sell fish in the street! With an active fishing fleet, St Feliu is a working town as well as an attractive holiday spot – and the harbour offers moorings for leisure craft as well. Modernist villas along the seafront evidence its prosperous past. St Feliu’s scenery, light and character have all made it attractive to film makers, not only from Spain, but from America, France, Germany and the UK. Scenes from movies including the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Olivier and Rudolf Nureyev have been shot here. Sant Pol beach is known for its brightly painted beach huts. The most important site is the monastery which houses the town museum and sometimes holds temporary exhibitions from the art collection of Carmen Thyssen – her Baron husband died in St Feliu. You can also stroll up to get the view from the Hermitage at St Elm or visit the 19th century Shipwreck Rescue centre.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in St Feliu, with three included walking excursions and a half day trip to Gerona. There is also the chance to join an optional excursion to Dalí’s white-painted Cadaqués and the Greek/Roman colony at Ampurias.

Walk 1: Through St Feliu de Guixols centre and on to the GR 92 coastal path to the north. The path (parts of which were the ancient camí de ronda or patrolmen’s path) links the resorts and villages of the coast. In places development has been allowed (or carried out regardless!) but the beauty of the route overcomes even those human aberrations. You then follow part of the disused line of the little ‘carrilet’ train – Spain’s first 75cm gauge railway line, built in 1892, and now a major amenity for cyclists and walkers alike, as you turn inland towards the village of Castell d’Aro. You rejoin the coast and head back to St Feliu where you finish in the town centre – perhaps for a glass of the local ‘vermut’! 8 miles, 120m of ascent/descent.

Walk 2: Today you follow the coast southwards to explore the hills of l’Ardenya. The paths and tracks offer spectacular views of the sea, the valley and the Gavarres ridge. Along the way there are prehistoric

stones, abandoned country houses, granite outcrops and drystone walls. The vegetation, too, is rich, with cork and holm oaks, pine trees, cistus, laurel and holly. The last part of the trail provides breath-taking views over rocky crags – the wild environment that characterises this unspoilt part of the ‘Rugged Coast’. 7 miles, 330m of ascent/descent.

Walk 3: Coach transfer to the volcanic Garrotxa area 60 miles away, where the 11,500 years of erosion (since the last eruption!) have moulded the dormant volcanic slopes into green, rounded and fertile hills. You will see Fageda d’en Jorda beech forest, climb Santa Margarida’s volcanic cone and pass close to Croscat. The walk is 7 miles, with a climb and descent of 280m. On the return journey you will make a short stop in the medieval town of Besalú before returning to your hotel.

On your included half day trip to Gerona, 30 miles away, you can see its fine gothic cathedral which boasts one of the world’s widest naves. The city’s Moorish heritage is betrayed by the narrow streets of the well-preserved centre, and there is a pretty Jewish quarter. Gerona is also a major university town and centre of Catalan culture.

In your free time why not catch the local bus up the coast to the port of Palamos? There are also bus services to Barcelona, about 90 minutes away.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure for the airport and your flight home. Time permitting, there may be time for some last minute shopping or sightseeing en route.

We have chosen as our base on this beautiful stretch of Spanish coast the fishing port and resort of St Feliu de Guixols. St Feliu is perhaps the most traditional of all the Coast Brava resorts with an ornate casino, modernist seaside villas and colourful beach huts. The landscape is stunning - cliffs plunge steeply towards the azure of the sea, and the old patrolmen’s path winds along the coast, providing spectacular views. No wonder St Feliu has been a popular film set for a hundred years!

8 days from £839 May, September & October

PROGRAMME

YOUR HOTELHOTEL EDEN ROC HHHH, St Feliu de Guixols (seven nights)

The hotel stands on a rocky headland an easy 10 minute walk from the town centre. There is an outdoor pool, with fine views across the bay, and an indoor pool within the spa centre (free access to indoor pool and sauna; treatments available at extra cost). Rooms are comfortably furnished, and have bath/shower, wc, hairdryer, air-conditioning, security box, minibar, wifi, and a small balcony or terrace. Sea view rooms are available at a supplement. There is a bar, lounge and buffet restaurant. (www.caproig.com/en/edenroc)



The Sierra de Mijas

DAY ONE: Flight to Malaga, transfer to Mijas (30 minutes) and your hotel for seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in Mijas, with three included walking excursions. A fourth, optional walking excursion will also be available.

Walk 1: Mijas and the Sierra. 5 miles, 400m of ascent/descent. Your first walk starts and finishes at the hotel: the first section will introduce you to Mijas itself, with its narrow alleys, broad squares, and ‘Camino del Calvario’, a pilgrims’ path of the Way of the Cross up to the Hermitage (built in 1710 as a refuge for Carmelite monks), on the side of the Sierra from where there are superb views over the coast. Your route goes to the Mission Cross and through an abandoned marble quarry. The landscape varies as you go, offering firstly herbs and lavender, and then eucalyptus and pines. You re-enter Mijas, and head through the town towards the hotel: perhaps stopping for refreshment first!

Walk 2: The North side of the Sierra, near Alhaurin el Grande. Short (20 minutes) transfer around the edge of the Sierra. This walk involves beautiful glens and stunning vistas. The full walk is 7 miles, 675m of ascent/descent, with some steep sections, but an easier version encompassing part of the route will also be available.

Walk 3: Calamorro and the old path to Mijas. 5 miles, 500m ascent (descent by cable car). 20-minute transfer to start your walk near Benalmadena Pueblo, a pretty town in the hills as opposed to the sprawling resort of Benalmadena Costa below. The trail follows a ridge – on a clear day you can see Gibraltar and Africa! Your destination is Calamorro, from where the cable car whisks you 3km back down the mountain to ‘civilisation’!

There is plenty to do in your free time. As well as a very pretty old centre where it is a pleasure to stroll and relax, Mijas has a folk museum and a newly-opened Contemporary Arts Centre. The prime focus of the museum is Picasso’s ceramic works of which 41 are on display as well as some of his paintings and others by Dali and Miro. Picasso was born just down the road in Malaga which also has a fine museum displaying his paintings. Malaga is easily accessible on public transport. Or you could spend a day at the seaside in nearby Fuengirola. A fourth walk

on an optional excursion to historic Antequera and the astonishing limestone formations of El Torcal may also be available.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until departure for Malaga airport.

We always try to combine great walking with interesting holiday destinations which are well worth a visit in their own right and Mijas ticks all the boxes. Roman, Visigothic and later Moorish, the white painted centre of Mijas Pueblo still has the look of an old Andalucian village, set amid the impressive landscapes of the Sierra, which are rich in vegetation: only a quarter of an hour’s drive from the commercial excesses of the coast, but light years away in atmosphere. The marble and limestone Sierra de Mijas is crossed with mountain valleys and has a variety of well-maintained paths and routes of varying difficulty.

8 days from £619 March, April & October 2017, March 2018

PROGRAMME

YOUR HOTELHOTEL TRH HHHH, Mijas. (seven nights)

This hotel enjoys an excellent location close to town (5 minutes walk away), but set amid palms and pines in the rolling landscapes of the Sierra as well. Built in Andalucian style, the hotel has a bar, buffet restaurant, outdoor pool and spacious gardens and terraces. Rooms have bath/shower, wc, satellite TV, direct dial phone, safety deposit box, internet connection and hairdryer. Superior rooms are available at a supplement. (www.trhhoteles.com)



Andalucia’s Eastern Coast

DAY ONE: Flight to Malaga and transfer to your hotel (55 miles) in Almunecar on the beach east of the city for seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: During your stay there are three included walks.

Walk 1: Short 5-minute transfer to the start of your walk east along the coast. You walk via gorges, cliff and coastal paths along beaches and coves, passing ancient watch towers, and with excellent views as you go. Your destination is the old town of Salobrena, where there is an Arab Fortress and from where you catch the local bus back to the hotel. 6 miles, 120m of ascent and descent.

Walk 2: 10 mile coach trip west to your start point at Playa Canuelo, from where you walk along the old coastal route to La Herradura – 5 miles so far, 230m of ascent/descent. After a stop for lunch at La Herradura, either catch the local bus back to Almunecar, or continue walking over the headland to Cotobro and Almunecar – a further 5 miles, 100m ascent/descent. From Almunecar centre, take the local bus or continue along the promenade to the hotel.

Walk 3: Today you have a coach transfer to Frigiliana, 16 miles away, for your circular walk in the hills behind this pretty white-painted village. The undulating route takes you to the Cross on Captain Pinto’s Hill (the good captain built a cross to give thanks for surviving a horrendous storm at sea). You return via the little village of La Molineta, where we make a refreshment stop, and then return to Frigiliana. 9 miles, 600m of ascent and descent. There may be the opportunity to include a section of river walk, weather permitting.

There are opportunities for self-guided walks from Almunecar – our representative will be pleased to advise. There is also an included full-day excursion to the wonderful city of Granada. From Almunecar we take the spectacular old road to Granada along the tropical valley of the Rio Verde passing avocado, custard apple and mango plantations. The next section crossing the sierra is spectacular. But there is surely no more spectacular setting than the city of Granada whose extraordinary Alhambra complex is dominated by the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. A local guide will ensure you make the most of your visit of the Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens. As well as visiting the complex with its richly decorated palaces and luxuriant gardens, you

will also have plenty of time to see some of the city’s other attractions such as the cathedral and the old Moorish quarter of Albaicin, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the Alhambra and the Generalife.

The rest of your time is free to enjoy Almunecar. You can visit the Arab fortress built on top of a Roman castle or stroll through the delightful botanical gardens of Majuelo Park where there is a huge collection of tropical and subtropical plants, bushes and trees as well as the remains of the Roman fish-salting pits. Other attractions include the exotic bird park and the network of defensive towers built by the Moors and later strengthened in the 18th century as defence against British raids. Or just stroll through the busy commercial district in the old centre where you can admire the city’s monuments – look out for the plaque dedicated to Laurie Lee who spent time here during and after the Civil War.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to the airport and your return flight home.

Glorious hills and mountains, pretty beaches and coves, the azure waters of the southern Mediterranean and a wonderful sub-tropical climate – what else do you need for a walking holiday in the sunshine? Andalucia’s eastern coast (known as the Costa Tropical) is all this. Your base is the coastal city of Almunecar where the sierras plunge spectacularly into the sea and you will find no less than 25 beaches and coves within the boundary of the municipality. It is a city whose Phoenician, Roman and Moorish past is still much in evidence. Granada is only 45 miles away and you have an included visit to the last city to be surrendered by the Moors in 1492.

8 days from £599 February to November 2017, February & March 2018

The Costa Blanca Mountains

DAY ONE: Flight to Alicante. Transfer to your hotel for seven nights half board accommodation. Transfer time one hour, depending on traffic.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in Calpe with three included guided walks.

Walk 1: You will have a short coach transfer for the first included walk on the unspoilt Serra d’Oltà hills. You follow a circular route around the peak, mainly along good forestry tracks, with moderate ascents of approx 220m and just one short section of stony footpath. The route affords good views of the coast and surrounding mountains as it passes through pinewoods and moorland. You will make a stop at St Francis’ hermitage. The walk is approx 5 miles. On the return the coach detours to pass the salt flats and the Rock of Ifach. If you wish you can alight there, take lunch, have a walk on Ifach. A marked trail through and around the Rock will take about 2 ½ hours to complete.

Walk 2: 30 mile coach transfer to Famorca. Following the old road downhill through Famorca and another small village, you have the chance to explore the caves at La Cova. These caves have been in continuous use since the Palaeolithic period, most recently as a refuge for the villagers’ sheep and goats. The route ascends along an ancient footpath until Castell de Castells comes into view. Passing two freshwater springs, and an ancient gypsum mill and kilns, there is the option of a short ascent to see some 1000 year old, but still productive, olive trees. Approaching Castell de Castells, you cross the medieval irrigation viaduct. Originally built by the Moors it is still in use today. 7 miles with ascents of 350m and descents of 600m.

Walk 3: 25 mile coach transfer to your final included walk from Tarbena to Bolulla. This 5 mile walk with 145m ascents starts with a panoramic view of the Tarbena Valley and then descends through quiet and hidden valleys, cloaked in terraces of almonds, olives, carob, vines and cherries. You pass through the impressive Pas Tancat Gorge where you may get a glimpse of golden eagles and then beneath an abandoned Moorish castle perched high on a nearly vertical blade of rock. You descend to pass groves of lemons, oranges and mandarins

until you reach the charming village of Bolulla with its narrow, steep and winding streets, where you have time for lunch either in the bar-restaurant or in the shade of the giant poplar trees that line the riverbed.

As well as the Rock of Ifach trail in Calpe, there is an eco-trail at the base of Ifach and two ‘Voramar’ paths in Calpe along the water’s edge to Arenal-Bol beach and the marina of Les Bassetes. There will also be an optional full day excursion to the city of Valencia.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until departure for the airport and your flight home.

Inland from the resorts of the Costa Blanca lies some of the best walking country in Spain. The sparsely populated mountains rise up to 3000ft and are a haven for wildlife including wild cats and genets, badgers and weasels and even golden eagles. Well maintained tracks along the rocky peaks and through lush valleys link traditional villages where the old Valencian lifestyle still prevails. Your holiday base in Calpe has a bit of everything – beautiful beaches, a lively and picturesque old town, stunning scenery in the shape of the immense Rock of Ifach and varied wildlife, both on the Rock and on the saltpans.

The High Pyrenees

DAY ONE: Flight to Barcelona or Reus. Transfer to your coastal hotel, just under an hour away, for two nights half board accommodation.

DAY TWO: Free day in resort.

DAY THREE: Today you travel into the mountains towards Andorra, stopping en route at Montserrat with its spectacular rock formations, and monastery, founded in the 10th century. From there you travel through the Catalan countryside via the little towns of Calaf and Ponts, into the High Pyrenees and your hotel in the mountain village of Soldeu, where you have four nights half board accommodation. The journey time is approx four hours excluding stops.

Soldeu is a scenic mountain village, with a few shops, bars and restaurants. There is a cable car, which normally operates from July to September, and serves Europe’s highest golf course (9 holes, 2250 metres up, cable car access only). Guest tickets and club hire are available to visiting club members from elsewhere.

DAYS FOUR TO SIx: In Soldeu, Andorra, from where you have three walks, two in Andorra and one in France.

Walk 1: Grau Roig and the Pessons Lakes. There are 22 lakes all in all, surrounded by wonderful mountain scenery. You will see the first seven as you climb 400m in 2½ hours. The path is stony; the last part of the return walk is by the same route so if anyone wishes to do a shorter walk they can retrace their steps and wait for the rest of the group on the terrace of the bar/restaurant by the first lake.

Walk 2: The Ariege Pyrenees. For your second walk you travel over the Pass of Envalira and down the wooded Ariege Valley to Ax-les-Thermes in France. The route is circular, starting and finishing in front of the Casino. You climb 300m up the side of the valley, and pass close to the villages of Ascou (site of the oldest settlement in the valley), Sorgeat, and Ignaux (3 hours walking approx.). After the walk you will have free time in this pretty spa town, which has a thermal free-access bath by the hospital in the Town Square – a wonderful place to revive your feet after the walk!

Walk 3: The Incles Valley. From the hotel, you follow a pleasant path as you climb through the woods towards Siscaro Lake: there are fine

views across the valley as you go. After a rest there, you continue up towards the Pas de la Vaca and return to your hotel. This walk is rather more challenging than the other walks in this brochure, reaching 2400m, with a possible climb of 700m. Your guides will be happy to advise you if you prefer to do something else today – perhaps the gentler, well-signposted ‘Cockerel Trail’ towards Canillo village and the lovely modernist Meritxell Church. They also reserve the right to change the return route of the walk, returning via the bottom of the Incles Valley instead of over the Pass.

DAY SEVEN: After breakfast you leave Andorra and head via the Cadi Range and the Llobregat Valley towards Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona for one night’s bed and breakfast accommodation. You have a short orientation tour, and free time for lunch and sightseeing.


Mountain air, fertile valleys, spectacular peaks, and great hospitality! The Pyrenees are a walkers’ paradise. After two nights on the coast in Catalonia, you travel to the small principality of Andorra and the village of Soldeu, perched at over 1600 metres amid wonderful mountain scenery and with great walking right on the doorstep. We have two included guided walks from Soldeu, and will also take you across the border into France for a walk near Ax-les-Thermes in the scenic Ariege region. After four nights in Soldeu, you travel a different road back to sparkling, cosmopolitan Barcelona for the last night of your holiday.

DAY ONE: Flight to Reus or Barcelona. On arrival transfer to your coastal hotel for two nights half board accommodation. Transfer time 50 minutes.

DAY TWO: Optional half-day excursion to the Roman city of Tarragona where you can see the amphitheatre, port and beach and stroll through the medieval centre. Under the Romans, Tarragona was the capital of the Province of Northern Spain and home to the Emperor Augustus – a Temple in his honour stood on the site of the current Cathedral.

DAY THREE: Today you depart for France. En route you make a stop in Dali’s home town of Figueras, close to the French border, and home to his surreal (in the truest sense!) theatre-museum (entrance included). The Dali Museum is one of the most-visited museums in Spain…and with its luminous-egg façade, it is not just the interior that seems to want to stretch your mind! From there it is just an hour to your hotel in Amélie-les-Bains, in the spectacular Vallespir valley, where you have four nights half board accommodation.

DAYS FOUR TO SIx: In Amélie with three included walks.

Walk 1: The Tech Valley and Arles. You head inland, taking a path which rises gently behind Arles-sur-Tech, whose narrow streets cluster around its 8th century abbey. You will have time to explore here before returning to Amelie along the river. 5.3 miles, 105m of ascent/descent.

Walk 2: The High Vallespir. You travel 40 minutes further up the Vallespir Valley to the fortified village of Prats de Mollo. A little further on lies the Spanish border at Col d’Ares, where you start your 3 hour walk on the ‘Cami de la Retirada’ – the Refugees’ Way that many followed out of Spain during the Civil War. You will also walk up to Vauban’s impressive Fort Lagarde, and take in the village church with its impressive altarpiece. Prats de Mollo stands on the side of the impressive Mount Canigou, snow-capped for much of the year, and with forests and mountain meadows abounding. 4.5 miles, 800m descent with 100m ascent/descent to the fort.

Walk 3: The Vermilion Coast. You travel 45 minutes to the coast at Banyuls sur Mer, for a four - hour coastal walk following the ‘Customs Agent’s Path’. You make a stop in Port Vendres - home to Rennie

Mackintosh for many years, before continuing to the artists’ resort of Collioure, a port since Roman times. The spectacular Chateau-Royal is worth a visit, and reproductions of works by artists who painted in Collioure (Matisse and Derain in particular) will be found on the quaysides. 6 miles, 300m of ascent/descent.

DAY SEVEN: Today you journey back south to the Costa Dorada for the last night of your holiday, which is again on a half board basis. En route a stop will be made in the exciting city of Barcelona, capital of Catalonia. Ramble(!) down the Rambla and you will find pavement artists and buskers, stalls selling all kinds of bric-a-brac - an avenue bursting with life and colour. Or you can visit the weird and wonderful cathedral of the Sagrada Familia - Gaudi’s masterpiece.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to the airport for your return flight.

This holiday offers excellent walking in the hills of the Roussillon area of southwest France, sometimes called French Catalonia – it only became French in the 17th century. There is a great affinity between the ‘French’ and ‘Spanish’ Catalans, and your holiday includes a stay in both French and Spanish Catalonia. Also included in the holiday is a visit to Dali’s eccentric theatre-museum in Figueras - a mind-expanding sort of place! – and some time in the wonderful city of Barcelona. In short, this is a unique opportunity to walk in, and discover, one of the most fascinating parts of Europe and to enjoy the sunshine of the Mediterranean at the same time!

The Guadiana River & Western Andalucia

DAY ONE: Flight to Faro in Portugal and transfer to your hotel on Isla Canela in Spain for seven nights half board accommodation. The transfer takes around an hour, but you have to put your watches on an hour when you cross the Guadiana which is the border.Coastal Western Andalucia is defined by its magnificent wetlands of marshes, shallow rivers and sand dunes. The largest is the Donana Natural Park formed in the delta of the Guadalquivir. Between here and the Portuguese border, smaller nature reserves surround the mouths of the Odiel and Piedras rivers near Huelva. On the border itself where your hotel is, the Rio Guadiana is the major influence on the ecosystem and feeds the marshes in both countries. Local flora and fauna is always a major attraction of any walk, and, given the abundance of birdlife in the area, one of the walks majors on the birdlife of the Rio Piedras.DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included guided walks. There is plenty to do in your free time. The front of the hotel looks across to the thriving fishing village and marina of Punta del Moral. You can have a pleasant stroll around the harbour or take a little ferry ride across to Isla Cristina. There is also a short signed-posted walk near the hotel into the Isla Canela ‘Marismas’ (marshes). The rear of the hotel backs on to the promenade from where there are wooden boardwalks across the dunes to the beach and the sea which provide a heavenly environment for your morning constitutional. Walking past the inviting chiringuito (beach bar) might be difficult! There is a frequent bus service which makes the 5 mile journey to Ayamonte on the Guadiana river. Ayamonte is a bustling ‘frontier’ town with a compact old centre, marina and port. The ‘frontier’ is the river and for under 3 euros you can get a return ferry across to the pretty town of Vila Real de San Antonio in Portugal. If you can find the time, a complimentary 1 ½ hour circuit of the hotel’s extensive spa facilities is included for you!Walk 1: Donana & El Rocio. Travel east by coach past Huelva to the start of your walk in the Natural Park area of the Donana (67 miles). This walk is through pinewoods across the dunes to the sea – but dunes here aren’t quite what you think! They are ancient sand deposits rising to 100m offering great views of the sea and the pine forests behind. Just over 4 miles with ascent/descent of 75m. You then travel to the strange town of El Rocio (15 miles away), which seems like something out of the Tex-Mex West, with clapboard houses, sand covered squares and avenues and rails to tie your horse to! But this is no tourist movie set - in fact it is a major pilgrimage site. Your walking guide will take you on a short walk featuring the major sites of this fascinating town and there is free time for lunch here before returning to your hotel.Walk 2: The Rio Piedras and Flecha del Rompido Nature Reserve. 30 mile transfer to the beginning of your walk. You will need your binoculars today. You visit the marshes of El Rompido doing a level walk through the pinewood, the salt marsh and a fish farm. The area is full of birds and wildflowers and the headland where the lighthouse is located offers one of the most beautiful views of the estuary. This 5 mile walk ends in the attractive fishing village of El Rompido where there is plenty of free time for lunch. Or, bring a packed lunch and take a ferry trip on your own across to the

10 mile long sandspit and swim in the open sea. Several protected species live in the dunes of the singular sandspit in a special ecosystem: among others the Stone Curlew, Kentish Plover, Dartford Warbler and the European Chameleon. You return to the hotel by coach, arriving back at approx. 1630.Walk 3: Alcoutim & the Guadiana River. We head across the river by coach to Portugal and north to Alcoutim (33 miles).The picturesque river town of Alcoutim has a Spanish twin right on the other side, Sanlucar de Guadiana. The circular walk goes along the river´s edge using the “Via Algarviana”, a trail that crosses the whole Algarve and then through reforested pine wood and Mediterranean oaks. 5.3 miles and ascent/descent about 150m. You have time to visit the castle in Alcoutim and lunch before taking a lazy 3 hour boat cruise down the beautiful Guadiana river to Ayamonte. During your stay in Isla Canela there is also an optional excursion to the Rio Tinto Mines. There has been mining in the hills 80 miles north-east of Isla Canela for over 5000 years. In the museum in the town of Rio Tinto there is an excellent re-creation of the Roman mine. There is British influence in many parts of Spain but nowhere as pronounced than in this remote corner of Andalucia. The pinnacle of mining in the area began in 1873 with the arrival of the British Rio Tinto Mining Company Ltd who paid £3.68 million for the rights to exploit the disused copper mines. The company employed up to 20,000 men, laid 300km of rail track, built houses for employees and management, a protestant church and a Social Club which had a cricket team and introduced football to Spain. The museum is housed in the company’s hospital and its offices are now the town hall. Highlight of the tour is the rail journey through the open cast mines where you’ll see an amazing ‘Martian’ landscape with the red (bright red!) Rio Tinto river running through it. DAY EIGHT: Transfer back to Faro Airport for your flight home. You can put your watch back an hour after crossing the river.

Your holiday base is the 4* Playamarina Hotel on Punta del Moral on Isla Canela in Spain, just over the Portuguese border. There are guided walks in the Natural Park area of the Donana, the Flecha del Rompido Nature Reserve and a walk and boat trip along the banks of the Rio Guadiana. In your free time you can relax and enjoy the surroundings of your hotel or take an optional excursion to the Rio Tinto mines.

Menorca

DAY ONE: Flight to Menorca, transfer to your hotel, half an hour away. Seven nights half board accommodation is reserved for you.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions:

Walk 1: The North. After a 30-minute coach transfer to the Cape of Cavalleria, the island’s most northerly point, you walk along the coast in the direction of Cala Pregonda, famed for its red and yellow rocks. After your walk, you return by coach, visiting ‘El Toro’, Menorca’s 358m-high ‘mountain’ to take in the view. 5 miles, 100m of ascent/descent.

WALK 2: The South. This is a circular walk from the hotel, passing through Son Bute Valley. You then go through the Ravine of Binigaus, passing the Coloms Cave, and walking along the coast back to Son Bou. Total 10.7 miles, ascent/descents 200m.

WALK 3: The East. You transfer to the Cape of Favaritx, with its black rocks, and follow a path by the s’Albufera lagoon to the fishing village of Es Garau. 8 miles, 100m of ascent/descent.

A fourth, optional, walk along the south-east coast, via the beaches of Cala Turquesa and Calal Macarella, to Cala Galdana, will be available, and there is public transport to both Mahon and Ciutadella close at hand.


WALKING & BIRDWATCHING

8 days from £699 MayWe know that our walking holiday customers not only enjoy the scenery, culture and history of the places we visit, but also have more than a passing interest in the fauna of the area. This holiday to Menorca and the holidays to Portugal and to the Camargue on the following pages include three excellent walks with first-rate birdwatching opportunities. This is not high end, specialist twitching and there is no need to buy expensive equipment; your regular binoculars will be ok. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be short changed in terms of avine content! Our walking guides are also expert birders who are able at once to cater to all levels of experience – from the complete beginner to the accomplished ornithologist.

PROGRAMMEWalk 1: This walk leaves from the hotel, visiting the marshy area near Son Bou and the Son Boter Ravine. Expected sightings include the distinctively crowned Hoopoe, the Purple Heron, Purple Swamphen, the Booted Eagle and the endangered Egyptian Vulture, also known as the ‘Pharaoh’s Chicken’. 5.1 miles, ascent/descent 85m.

Walk 2: Transfer to Son Parc beach, on the north of the island, crossing through wetlands of Son Saura, heading towards the salt marshes/mines of Fornells, where you will stop at a farm for a short while to observe the birdlife. You then continue to the Concepción Salines to meet your transport. Expected sightings today include the fastest member of the animal kingdom, the Peregrine Falcon, the Osprey, the Black-winged Stilt and the Kentish Plover. 4.2 miles, ascent/descent 50m. On the return journey we make short stops at the Bee-eater colony near Lluriac, and take in the fabulous views from ‘El Toro’, Menorca’s highest point (over 1100ft above sea level).

Walk 3: Transfer to Algaraiens, in the west of the island, from where you walk via Pla de Mar to Cala del Pilar, to see the wide variety of birds found in the agricultural interior of Menorca – though our varied route also includes a forest of holm oaks as well as a coastal section. On this walk expected sightings include the Tawny Pipit, the elegant Woodchat Shrike, the solitary Blue Rock Thrush and the disputed ‘King of the Birds’ from a legend told by Pliny and Aristotle, the Firecrest. 6 miles, ascent/descent 100m.

The island of Menorca may be just 30 miles long and 10 miles across, but it hosts a world of contrasts. The north is comparatively lush and green, with extensive bays and long headlands. The south is much rockier and riddled with caves. At the eastern end lies the island’s capital Mahon, a historic city well worth exploring, whose fine deep-water harbour led to British and French occupation in the 18th century (in 1756 the British Admiral Byng was court-martialled and shot for losing it to the French ‘pour encourager les autres’!). To the west lies Ciutadella, a former island capital, again with impressive city walls and harbour, but much quieter than the capital. But it is the island’s unspoilt beaches and coves that may impress you most of all: our resort area of Son Bou is home to one of the best of them. Menorca was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in October 1993.

Portugal – Walking and Birdwatching

DAY ONE: Flight to Faro, transfer to your hotel, forty minutes away, for seven nights half board accommodation.DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions. Transport to/from walks is included where appropriate. Walk 1: The Ria Formosa Natural Park. In the morning, transfer to the start of your walk near Faro (27 miles). The Ria Formosa nature area is one of the most important protected areas in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. You walk towards Quinta do Lago, passing salt marshes carved into a labyrinth of tidal flats, salt ponds, warm water lagoons and channels which provide shelter to many bird species, including Flamingos, Spoonbills, Storks and Hoopoes. The walk takes you through the area of Ludo, located in the middle of a complex of salt pans at the edge of the São Lorenço River, passing along salt mountains, eucalyptus and pine tree forests. The walk is level and about 4 miles. You return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Walk 2: 15 mile transfer east to the wetlands of the Castro Marim Nature Reserve, on the mouth of the river Guadiana, the natural border between this side of Portugal and Spain. From the main road near the old town of Castro Marim you do the first part of the walk next to salt marshes, saltpans and cultivated fields towards the Visitor´s Centre – a good area for waders, warblers and even the Little Bustard in the dry flats of the marsh. 2.2 miles, ascent/descent 30m. Short transfer to the next walk through the more industrial saltpans of Cerro do Bufo. Along this dirt road you can see waders, gulls, terns and herons on one side and ground birds in the fields on the other side. Expected birds to be seen on the day are Crested Lark, Black-winged Stilt, Flamingo, Spoonbill, Avocet, Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Kentish Plover, Dartford Warbler, Stone Curlew. 3.75 miles, ascent/descent 10m.Walk 3 (Spring departures): An early start for the journey to Castro Verde in the inland province of Alentejo (83 miles). Alentejo is one of the most beautiful and sparsely populated areas of Portugal and holds one of the best preserved steppes in Europe. The Special Protection Area of Castro Verde is full of birdlife and in the spring the fields are carpeted with wild flowers. You pass the grassland and oak woods in search of

the iconic Great and Little Bustards, Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Bee-eaters, the first Rollers of the year, Black-eared Wheatear, Iberian Grey Shrike and raptors such as the Black-winged Kite, Booted and Short-toed Eagle, Red and Black Kite, Griffon and Black Vulture and sometimes even young Golden, Bonelli´s and Spanish Imperial Eagles. 6.8 miles, ascent/descent 200m. Depending on the day of operation, lunch is included in the Castro Verde LPN visitor centre. Time permitting, a stop will be made on the return journey in the old walled town of Mertola on the Guadiana river. Return to the hotel late afternoon.Walk 3 (Autumn departures): An early start for the 82 mile transfer to the start of today’s walk from Vila do Bispo to the lighthouse at Cabo São Vincente. It is the most south-westerly point in mainland Europe and was considered by the Romans to be the end of the known world. Our walk affords stunning views of the ocean and takes us across the Vale Santo where, in October, migrating raptors may often be seen including Booted, Short-toed and Bonelli’s Eagles, Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Honey-buzzards and Black Kites, various falcons plus Black Storks. The walk is a little under 8 miles and has a few gentle inclines. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon.DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure transfer to the airport for your flight home.

Sunshine and fantastic beaches – the Algarve is great place for a holiday. But the eastern Algarve, with its vast wetlands which stretch from Faro to close to the border with Spain, is a nature lover’s wonderland. The system of barrier islands and peninsulas creates a variety of habitats in which wildlife, especially birds, can thrive in the spring we visit the Alentejo. Inland from the coast, the Alentejo is an entirely different landscape to the Algarve, but just as enchanting. Great plains dotted with cork oaks stretch to the horizon. Protected areas, where hunting is banned and only traditional methods of agriculture are practised, have become one of the most important bird watching centres in Portugal and a perfect environment for the Great Bustard, the heaviest of flying birds. In the autumn, the Alentejo is replaced by a walk in Portugal’s wild west at Cape St Vincent. Your holiday hotel is on the outskirts of the historic town of Tavira. The busy market town has no less than thirty seven churches and a lovely arched Roman bridge spanning the River Gilau. The pleasant old centre has arcades, shops and cafes.

France – Camargue, Alpilles & Crau

DAY ONE: Flight to Marseille or Nîmes, transfer to your hotel in Arles (one hour from Marseille, 40 minutes from Nîmes) for seven nights hotel accommodation. Two dinners in the hotel are included during your stay, leaving five nights to sample the delights of the local restaurants. Your Tour Director will be on hand to assist. A walking tour of the city will show you the major sights and attractions of this splendid city - the remarkably intact 1st century AD amphitheatre could entertain 30,000 spectators and is still used today; the Musée Réattu, a 15th century priory of the Knights of Malta on the bank of the river Rhône; the Place de la République with its obelisk and impressive town hall. Devotees of van Gogh will recognize many parts of the city from his paintings, including the courtyard of the old hospital where he was treated after cutting off his ear, the amphitheatre, his café terrace, and the Rhône - especially on a starry night!DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: There are three included walks during your stay in Arles. Walk 1: La digue à la mer. Transfer to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (23 miles). On the way you’ll hear the story of the Three Marys (Jacob, Salome and Magdalene) and their servant Sarah, patron saint of Gypsies, thousands of whom have been making the annual pilgrimage to Stes-Maries for centuries. ‘La digue’ is the dyke built in 1859 to keep the sea at bay. This is a long but easy walk which takes you into the heart of the Camargue National Nature Reserve. Landmarks along the route include the Rousty sluice gate, the old customs house and the working Gacholle lighthouse whose 60ft tower can be seen from miles around. Common bird sightings will include warblers, gulls, terns, waders and avocets but the emblematic Pink Flamingos are especially visible at the end of the walk in the Fangassier lagoon where between 15 and 20 thousand breeding pairs of them should be waiting for you. 11 miles – flat. Walk 2: Les Alpilles – Saint Paul-de-Mausole, Glanum and the Vallon de St Clerg. Transfer to the start of the walk (19 miles) in Saint Rémy de Provence. This walk (5 miles, 250m ascent/descent) departs from the monastery at Saint Paul-de-Mausole where van Gogh painted over one hundred works of genius while a voluntary patient in the rest home for just under a year. Walking through Roman quarries, past the archaeological site of Glanum and into the wooded valley of St Clerg, you enter the heart of the territory of a pair of Bonelli’s Eagle. You have some time at the foot of the two-holed rock looking out for the Bonelli’s Eagle and also the Short toed Eagle, Sub Alpine and Sardinian Warblers. The walk ends

back in St Rémy where you have time for a wander through this charming little Provençal town or a visit to the monastery, imbued with the spirit of Vincent van Gogh before returning to Arles. On the way back, you call in at les Baux de Provence. Here you take a short walk on a path overlooking a wonderful landscape in search of Blue Rock Thrush at the foot of the imposing ruined citadel. Walk 3: Vigueirat Marshes & la Crau. The Vigueirat Marshes Nature Reserve, 17 miles to the south of Arles forms the natural buffer between the Rhone delta and the unique and arid la Crau. Access to the Reserve is only possible with a guide. On a 3 mile flat walk you can see all nine European species of Heron, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Black winged Stilts and numerous other waders, Marsh and Caspian Terns, Moustached, Reed, and Great reed Warblers. Leaving the reserve you travel 12 miles to la Crau Nature Reserve. Legend has it that the countless polished stones covering the terrain were rained down by Jupiter and used as missiles by Hercules in battle after he had used all his arrows. On a 2 ½ mile flat walk you would hope to see Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, Lesser Kestrel, Larks and Tawny Pipit.As well as the three included trips there will be an unusual, optional evening/night excursion to a Little Bustard site in beautiful scenery followed by a picnic in the company of Eagle Owls to the sound of Nightingales and whirring Nightjars. Return to the hotel will be after 11pm.DAY EIGHT: Free time until departure for the airport and your flight home.

La Camargue, les Alpilles and la Crau – the French ‘golden triangle’ of biodiversity. The Camargue, with its white horses, black bulls and pink flamingos, needs little introduction. Just to the north, the jagged, limestone peaks of the Alpilles mountains are a striking contrast to the vast wetlands of the Camargue. Sandwiched between the two is la Crau, a unique, ancient steppe landscape where shepherds have tended their flocks for 6,000 years. You’ll discover the amazing flora and fauna of all three environments on guided walks with an expert naturalist. You’ll also enjoy the manmade wonders of the city of Arles, your holiday base, renowned for its Roman monuments, van Gogh scenes, and, of course, Provençal cafés and restaurants!!

Portugal - the Algarve

DAY ONE: Flight to Faro and transfer to your hotel in Armação de Pêra, just 45 minutes away from the airport. Seven nights half board accommodation is reserved for you.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions

Walk 1: Alfanzina lighthouse to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rock, on the edge of your resort, along one of the most characteristic stretches of Algarve coastline. After a short bus ride, you start your walk near Alfanzina lighthouse. You follow narrow paths in an area where the cliffs are made up of different colours of rock – excellent photo opportunities, and there are impressive blowholes too. You cross the bays of Praia de Marinha and Praia de Benagil to finish near the Chapel. The finishing point is just over a mile through Armacao to your hotel, which you can reach in your own time – just follow along the beach! The walk is 5.5 miles, with climbs totalling 150m approx.

Walk 2: Estombar to Silves. Your walk starts near the natural springs of Estombar (15 minutes away by coach), which also provides the water for the nearby rice fields. You will follow the Arade River - the Moors had their regional capital here. The area is rich in birdlife, and you will pass plantations of orange and lemon trees, as well as lavender. You complete your walk in the centre of the pleasant village of Silves, where there is time to explore before you return to the hotel. 5 miles, climbs of 50m.

Walk 3: Luz to Praia Dona Ana. The starting point of this walk is the fishing village of Luz (45 minutes away by coach). You will walk uphill on small footpaths and then continue along the picturesque coastline. In the springtime especially, wild orchids accompany you on your way, together with Affodile and Mastric bushes. There is also a marvellous view across to the Ponta da Piedade, an impressive rock formation in the sea. Finally, you will reach Praia Dona Ana, very close to Lagos and your finishing point. The town is closely associated with Henry the Navigator, and was the starting port of many Portuguese voyages of discovery in the 15th and 16th century. Before you return to the hotel, you will have time to explore Lagos. 6 miles, climbs 80m.

On one of your free days, we will offer a half day excursion to Monchique, with a 5 mile walk.


To discover the real beauty of the Algarve our escorted walks, through glorious countryside decked with flowers, may be the answer. In recent years the Algarve has become increasingly popular with walkers who realise that much of the countryside and coastline remain unspoilt. Your walking guide will show you the very best of the region while allowing you time to appreciate all that you see. Your resort, Armação de Pêra, boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve, pretty coves, a panorama of brightly coloured fishing boats and a range of high quality fish restaurants. So why not pack your walking boots and enjoy the best that the Algarve has to offer?

Portugal - Cascais & the Sintra Natural Park

DAY ONE: Flight to Lisbon. Thirty-minute transfer to your hotel in Monte Estoril.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: Your hotel is in Monte Estoril between Estoril and Cascais, the two main resorts on the Lisbon Coast. Estoril, with its plush villas and Belle Époque casino is the more traditional of the two, while lively Cascais still retains some of its character as a traditional fishing town. They are connected by a seafront promenade and your hotel is a 20-minute walk from the centre of either resort or you can take the frequent local bus. There are plenty of shops and cafés close by as is Monte Estoril train station from where there is a regular service to Lisbon. Everywhere you go in Lisbon you will find evidence of the city’s historic links with the Age of Discovery from where intrepid explorers opened up the sea-trading routes to India, Brazil, China and Japan in the 15th century. Today, the city is a mix of old quarters such as the Alfama, a maze of steep cobbled streets, the wide avenues leading to the 18th century Rossio square and modern developments with fine shops.

During your stay you have three guided walks in the Natural Park, all different in content and character showing you varied aspects of the countryside, scenery and way of life here. There is a short coach transfer to the start of each walk of about 10 miles.

Walk 1: Sintra Sierra – the Mystic Mountain. On this walk you go to some of the Park’s highest points with glorious views to the sea. You’ll also discover how the Sintra Sierra has enchanted its visitors over the centuries. The walk takes you to the ‘Holy Spirit’ village of Penedo known for its countless springs and streams. Lunch is included in a local tavern. After lunch you complete the walk passing small stud farms. 9.75 miles with ascents/descents of 600m.

Walk 2: Land’s End. The walk starts at Cabo da Roca, Europe’s most westerly point. An ancient fisherman´s path leads to the untouched beauty of wild Ursa beach, considered by the Michelin Guide as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Continuing along impressive cliffs hugged by the Atlantic, you approach the Fojo, a natural well that connects to the sea and where the Romans believed that deep down there was a Triton playing music in a conch. This walk ends at the beautiful Adraga beach. 5.5 miles with 550m ascents and 700m descents.

Walk 3: Hermitage and Gardens. The starting point is the same as Walk 1 but takes you on a different path and includes visits to a couple of the highlights of the Park. The Convento dos Capuchos was carved into the granite in the 16th century and the monks’ austere existence in the minute cells is referred to in a poem by Byron. From here it is a 4.5 mile walk through a pine forest to the Monserrate Gardens and Palace, a unique, exotic landscape again featuring in Byron’s poetry. The massively rich exile, William Beckford, landscaped the site in the 1790’s. Sir Francis Cook continued the work in the gardens and restored the Palace which is a delightful mix of Moorish, Romantic, Gothic and even Indian styles. You return to the start point via the Musketeers Lake. An easy 6.75 mile walk full of interest with ascents/descents of 350m.

DAY EIGHT: Departure for the airport and your flight home.

Just a few miles west from the hustle and bustle of the city of Lisbon is a hilly, forested area stretching down to the coast which was a popular summer retreat for the rich and Royal families from the capital. As well as palaces, gardens and hermitages, there are traditional villages and towns making this a ‘cultural landscape’ worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing. From your base on the coast in Monte Estoril you have three guided walks in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. In your free time, you can relax in the seaside resorts of Estoril and Cascais or take the short train ride to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavours of Lisbon.

Walk 1: Along the river to Lucca. Coach transfer via Puccini’s Torre del Lago (he called it Paradise) to Ripafratta, from where you walk along the river to historic Lucca.

You return to your hotel by coach – time permitting, there will be a stop in Lucca en route. Please note that, if the train is not operating for any reason, a different walking excursion will be arranged.

Walk 3: The Gulf of Poets. You have a 30-minute transfer north to the village of Ameglia, at the mouth of the River Magra. From the old hilltop village the walk takes you through the Montemarcello-Magra Natural Park towards the maritime village of Tellaro, on the Gulf of Poets. Tellaro is on the list of the ‘Most beautiful villages of Italy’: the colourful fishermen’s houses cluster close to St George’s church. You continue on to Lerici, with its 12th century castle (worth the climb to get the view towards Portovenere and the offshore islands). You will have time to explore Lerici before the return to your hotel. The walk is 6 miles, with 300m of ascent and descent.

An optional excursion to Florence by coach and rail will be available.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to Pisa airport and your flight home.

Your base in Marina di Pietrasanta, on the Tuscan coast, is quieter than some of its neighbours but just as attractive.

Lovere: Set on a bay of Lake Iseo, with a semi-circle of mountains behind, the setting is wonderful. A member of ‘I Borghi Piu Belli d’Italia’, ‘Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages’, this pretty little town of 5000 people has Italian-style arcaded streets, but with Swiss-style wooden overhanging roofs. Along the lakeside are grand old palaces, a modern yachting marina and a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Climbing up into the old town, you are soon in an old-fashioned Italy of shady squares and ancient church towers. There is good public transport for getting around on local buses and a boat service which links Lovere with Pisogne (15 minutes trip), which has a railway station on the line between Brescia and Edolo.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in resort with three included walking excursions. Optional excursions, including historic Bergamo, and a scenic trip to St Moritz aboard the Bernina Express Train, will also be available.

Walk 1: You walk from the hotel, climbing into the hills behind Lovere. The destination is St John’s Sanctuary, from where there are great views of the lake. Return via a different route, through a grove of chestnut trees, passing the village of Sellere. 6½ miles, 420m of ascent and descent.

Walk 2: You travel slowly down the lake by boat, calling in at five lakeside villages, en route to Monte Isola – journey time 75 minutes. You walk 7 miles on Monte Isola, circling the island and climbing 420m to the summit at Madonna della Ceriola.

Walk 3: Depart by coach to the Naquane Archaeological Park (20 miles). First you visit the Naquane Archaeological Park (entrance fee included) – there are 2 miles of paths here, amid stone carvings of animals and people dating from 3000 BC. There are good views over

the valley. You then walk down to Capo di Ponte where you have free time to explore and lunch.

You return to Lovere firstly by train to Pisogne and then by ferry arriving back in Lovere at 1730 approx.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure to the airport. Depending on flight times, there may be time for a spot of last-minute shopping en route.

Italy’s other beautiful lake is Lake Iseo: smaller than its more famous neighbours (15 miles long), but just as perfectly-formed! Nestling amid the scenic mountains, in a bay at the gorgeous Northern end of the lake is the resort of Lovere. You will walk in the hills close to Lovere, and travel by boat and scenic railway to walk in the UNESCO-listed Valcamonica area, and on Italy’s largest lake island, the appropriately named Monte Isola, ‘Mountain Island’ – it rises a full 420m above Iseo’s shimmering waters.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In Bordighera with three included walks. On Day 2 there is a late morning walking tour pointing out the highlights of the town.

Walk 1: Bordighera to Sasso & the Princedom of Seborga. For this walk you start at the hotel on the seafront in Bordighera, passing through the old town, before following an old watercourse through a valley of palm trees to the pretty hamlet of Sasso. You then take the old road to the village of Seborga, a historical curiosity: it is claimed that following its omission from a series of treaties, it is not officially part of Italy! 9 miles there and back, with ascent/descent of 500m. If you wish to walk a shorter distance, you can catch the local bus back from Sasso or Seborga to Bordighera.

Walk 2: Taggia to the artists’ village of Bussana Vecchia. Coach transfer to Taggia, which claims to be home to Italy’s longest medieval bridge. You walk through the old town, and then climb through smart villas, olive trees and greenhouses, following the old road and country paths as far as Old Bussana - one of those ‘must-see’ places. What was a completely empty village following the 1887 earthquake has become home to a Bohemian artist community which took root in the 1960’s - not without controversy. 5 miles, 250m ascent.

Walk 3: Monte Carlo or Bust! You travel by coach to Menton, where you walk up to Roquebrune village, before descending towards Monte Carlo. Roquebrune, on Mont Gros, is a favourite place for hang-gliders, and has fine views of Monte Carlo. Time permitting, you will have time to explore a little of the Principality before you re-join the coach to return to Bordighera, just 18 miles away. 7 miles, 200m of ascent/descent.

In your free time there are several walking opportunities in the town itself. One takes you to the scenes of several of Monet’s paintings. Another is a one mile walk along the Lungomare Argentina – the colourful flower-filled promenade along the beach and the longest pedestrian promenade on the Riviera. It was inaugurated by Eva Perón whose husband had visited Bordighera in 1947. On Thursday there is a market on the seafront near the hotel. Your hotel is handily situated for

the station, with services to Ventimiglia, and to San Remo and beyond. There are also local bus services.

There will also be an optional excursion to the Nervia Valley. You drive through Camporosso, a pretty village, and stop in medieval Dolceaqua, dominated by the Dorias’ Castle. The bridge, over the Nervia river, was painted by Monet in 1884. You will visit the ‘Visionarium’ – it will surprise you, we promise! You continue up the valley to Pigna, a pretty mountain village.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until you depart for the airport. Dependent on traffic conditions and flight timings, there may be time for some last-minute shopping in Nice en route.

The holiday base is Bordighera, on the coast 18 miles to the east of Monte Carlo. The British have enjoyed strolling in and around Bordighera since the 19th century – so much so it was an enclave where the local Italians were a minority. Today, Bordighera is an extremely pleasant resort whose climate and scenery can be enjoyed in much the same as visitors of yesteryear. It was also a favourite resort of Claude Monet who stayed ten weeks here and painted thirty five landscapes in Bordighera and the neighbouring hills. There are three guided walks including one from Menton to Monte Carlo.

8 days from £819 March to June, September & October

You catch the train back from here. A gentle walk, approx 2 hours, 150m climb and descent.

DAY THREE: Today you travel south by private coach to the Riviera di Levante. Your first stop is Vercelli, a historic town surrounded by paddy-fields (rice is exported worldwide from here).

After a tour of the old medieval town, you walk to the next village, Vernazza. The trail is narrow; there are many steps built by the local farmers to get to their vineyards and lemon groves. The walk takes about 2 ½ hours with an ascent/descent of 300m. Once you reach Vernazza, you have time for lunch and to enjoy the best-known town of the National Park. You then continue by train to Manarola (7 minutes) to visit the village and walk a short but spectacular loop (ascent/descent 100m) called “The Vineyards Trail” with breathtaking views of the town and coast. After some free time, you travel back to Santa Margherita by train.

The destination for your third walk is Portofino. You start your day with a walk through Santa Margherita Ligure, admiring its beautiful

baroque church and the garden of Villa Durazzo. At the end of the sea promenade you take an old mule path up through the woods for excellent views of the bay. You continue through the woods to the most spectacular section of the walk, overlooking all the Tigullio Gulf from Sestri Levante (12 miles distant) to Portofino. The trail goes through a valley of the ancient olive mills to finally reach Portofino. Actual walking time is about 3 hours, 4 miles, with 200m of ascent/descent, but you take all morning, with a lunch break in the valley of mills and arrive in Portofino in the early afternoon. Portofino’s colourful hotchpotch of fisherman’s houses embraces its harbour and the luxury craft of the nearby villa-owners. Above the harbour is Brown’s Castle, and there are good views from the church. Weather permitting, you return to Santa Margherita by boat (15 minute trip). If the seas are too choppy, you return by public bus service.

DAY SEVEN: You leave Santa Margherita and travel north, following a slightly different route to take in the cathedral city of Pavia. You arrive at Lake Maggiore in the afternoon, for one night, again on a half board basis. Total today 152 miles, mainly motorway.


This Italian holiday takes you to the millionaires’ haunts of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure (where you spend four nights), and takes in the spectacular landscapes of the Cinque Terre and Lake Maggiore.

There is a short transfer to Livorno, Tuscany’s second city, which has a Medici Fortress and mercantile ‘Little Venice’ area, for one nights bed and breakfast accommodation.DAY TWO: After breakfast, depart Livorno and head inland to Volterra, 45 miles away, an ancient walled town on a hilltop dominating the rolling Tuscan countryside, with medieval and Renaissance buildings, Roman theatre, forum and baths. D.H. Lawrence called Volterra ‘an inland island’, and the popular vampire novel ‘New Moon’ (part of the Twilight Saga) was set there – you can see why!In the afternoon, you leave Volterra and drive to Piombino, 55 miles away, to board the roll-on, roll-off ferry to Elba, less than 10 miles offshore – the crossing takes just under an hour.

You stop in Siena before continuing to the walled city of Prato (total today 150 miles). Siena is best known as the city of the spectacular bareback Palio Horse race. The race takes place on the spectacular, shell-shaped Piazza del Campo. St Catherine of Siena is, with St Francis, one of Italy’s two patron saints – her head was supposedly smuggled out of Rome and is stored in the church of St Dominic: and don’t miss the cathedral, one of Italy’s most stunning Gothic churches.You continue to Prato, just 10 miles from Florence (frequent train services take 25 minutes), historic in its own right, and well worth taking time to

visit, but fortunately without the great Florentine tourist flows! Although Prato is an important modern centre for textiles, the old town within the walls is a world apart – a lovely place to stroll and enjoy the real Italy. Your hotel is just a few steps from the town walls, so it’s easy to explore. Three nights in Prato on a bed and breakfast basis.DAYS SIx AND SEVEN: Free in Prato, with an included half day walking tour of the old city and an included walking excursion.

The walk is about 4 miles with ascents/descents of 350m.DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to airport and your flight home. Depending on flight times, there may be time for some last minute shopping/sightseeing en route.

Napoleon was famously banished to Elba, before he returned to…meet his Waterloo. An extremely nice place to be exiled to! Like him, you will travel across to one of Europe’s most enchanting islands where, on two guided walks, you will wonder why he ever wanted to leave! But leave you must, too - to enjoy some of the scenic landscapes and beautiful cities in Tuscany. Visits to ‘spooky’ Volterra and magnificent Siena are included. From your base in the old city of Prato there is a third guided walk and mighty Florence is also easily accessible.

You then follow a mule track past orchards, fine old villas, a 14th century tower and a chapel, from where there are lovely views out over the lake towards the Borromean islands and the Alps beyond. Passing through a chestnut grove, you reach the hamlet of Cavandone, the ‘Village of Stone Carvings’, returning to Suna by a different route. 5 miles, 265m of ascent/descent.

Walk 2: The Western Lake/Monte alle Croci. You take the train to Lesa (a 12-minute journey), and climb gradually towards Comnago – there are views to Angera castle, over on the other side of the lake. Passing the Maria Assunta Chapel you climb through the wood to reach the summit of Monte alle Croci, with a wonderful panorama of the lake. Return is by a different route, partly on a road and partly on a mule track. 6 miles, 420m of ascent/descent.

Walk 3: The Chestnut route: Belgirate to Stresa. You catch the train to Belgirate, 10 minutes away, and follow a route through the woods above the lake, climbing towards the villages of Falchetto and Passera before descending into Stresa. 5 miles, 260m of ascent/descent.

There will also be a fourth, optional walk. On your free days, there is lots to see. Don’t miss the magnificent Borromean Palace on Isola Bella, and the Villa Taranto, with its wonderful garden, created by the Scottish captain Neil MacEacharn. Optional coach excursions are also available.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until you depart for the airport for your flight home.

This holiday includes a week on Lago Maggiore, Italy’s second largest lake, which stretches north from Lombardy and up into Switzerland. It lies, sheltered, on the south side of the Alps, making for a mild climate and consequent lush vegetation, with Mediterranean and exotic flora, including azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias. Maggiore is, in our view, much more scenic than, for example, the much larger Lake Garda to the East.

On returning to Bled (6 miles so far, fairly level) you have some free time before the second part of your Bled walking day, undertaking the best-known walk in Slovenia. This walk (a further 4 miles) has superb views over Lake Bled, its Castle and to the surrounding mountains. It is level apart

from the climb up to the viewpoint on the hill of Osojnica.DAY SEVEN: Today you leave Slovenia for Italy. You cross the border and head to Udine, an interesting city with a long history. A Roman city in origin, it stands at a crossroads of languages and cultures: a mix of Italian, Slav and German elements, with a castle and stunning, marble, Romanesque Duomo. From there you continue back to Lido di Jesolo for one nights half board accommodation. 153 miles today.DAY EIGHT: Transfer to the airport for your return flight.

The Italian cities of Venice and Trieste, the coastline of the Venice Gulf and the Julian Alps of Slovenia are the ingredients for this varied and interesting walking holiday. The ‘Serenissima’ – the ‘most serene’ Venetian republic, governed much of the Adriatic. The Winged Lion of St Mark, the city’s emblem, can be seen everywhere in the region - look out for it in Trieste when you travel between Italy and Slovenia. As well as a visit to Venice by night, there is a guided walk down into James Joyce’s Trieste, another in the mountain resort of Kranjska Gora and a third around beautiful Lake Bled high in the Alps.

Poland - Krakow & the High Tatras

Throughout the tour you are on a bed and breakfast basis. There is a wide variety of lunch and dinner options available in all price ranges in both Krakow and Zakopane. Your representative will be happy to assist if required, but English is widely spoken

DAY ONE: Flight to Krakow. On arrival you meet our representative and transfer to your hotel in Krakow for three nights bed and breakfast accommodation.

DAYS TWO AND THREE: Included half day walking tour of Old Krakow, also known as Stare Miasto. There is also an optional afternoon excursion to the stunning Wieliczka Salt Mine.

DAY FOUR: Today you travel to Zakopane, but instead of doing all the journey by road, you take 2-3 hours rafting gently through the stunning scenery of the Dunajec River Gorge, before arriving at Zakopane, in the heart of the Tatra Mountains. Four nights are spent here on a bed & breakfast basis.

DAYS FIVE TO SEVEN: In Zakopane, with two included guided walks.

Walk 2: You take the local bus to walk through a glacial valley (Malej Laki) to Kondracka Pass, at a height of 1725m. You descend the valley towards Zakopane. The walk is about 9 miles with a climb and descent of 700m each.

While staying in Zakopane you also have the opportunity to cross the border into Slovakia, Poland’s southern neighbour, on an optional excursion. The High Tatra Mountains straddle the Polish-Slovakian border, and you will be able to experience the fantastic scenery from a different perspective – the cable car from Stary Smokovec to the mountain town of Hrebienok, at an altitude of 1200m. There is the

chance to take a walk along marked paths to the scenic waterfalls of the area.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure transfer to the airport and your return flight home. Depending on flight times, there may be some time in Krakow en route to the airport.

Two of Poland’s most spectacular sites, Krakow and Zakopane, are brought together in this holiday of contrasts. Firstly, the medieval UNESCO-listed university city of Krakow, for centuries Poland’s capital, and hometown of both Chopin and Pope John Paul II. Your second base is Zakopane, Poland’s highest city, amidst the spectacular Tatra Mountains and situated 800m above sea level. Zakopane is famous for its unique wooden architecture, featuring pretty, wood-fronted, 19th century villas with high, sloped roofs! Your journey between Krakow and Zakopane will take a little longer than you might have expected – you will spend 2-3 hours gently meandering through the Dunajec River Gorge on rafts! This will allow you to fully appreciate the rocky landscapes of the Pieniny Mountains. (Note: the coach continues with your luggage – if weather conditions dictate, or if anyone prefers, the land route by coach may be used).

The Harz Mountains, Berlin & Potsdam

DAY ONE: Flight to Berlin, short transfer to your hotel for three nights bed and breakfast accommodation. Berlin’s Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate and Jesse Owens’ Olympic Stadium spring immediately to mind, but this is also a thriving, newly European capital city with emblematic buildings such as the new Bundestag – well worth a visit! Berlin is also home to some of the best museums around – all conveniently clustered together on Museum Island – such as the marvellous Museum of Antiquities and the recently-reopened Neues Museum, with its wonderful Egyptology Collection.DAYS TWO AND THREE: There is a half-day city tour, and a half-day walking excursion. The rest of your time is free for you to explore the city and visit some of the wonderful museums.Walk 1: The Wannsee. You take the S-bahn to Wannsee station for a level 6-mile walk along the Wannsee (Lake Wann, part of the River Havel). Passing sailing clubs and the ‘Peacock Island’ nature reserve, you reach the famous Glienicker Bridge, the bridge between Berlin and Potsdam, the usual point of exchange for Cold War spies. From here you catch the bus back to Wannsee station or, if you prefer, continue into the centre of Potsdam, 3 miles further on.DAY FOUR: You leave Berlin and travel through the former East Germany to Wittenberg where, in 1517, Luther famously nailed his “95 Theses’’ to the door of the Castle Church - challenging the teachings of the Church and the authority of the Pope. Today you also stop in picturesque Quedlinburg (like Wittenberg, also on the UNESCO World Heritage list), a maze of cobbled streets and quaint fairy-tale houses, overlooked by its 16th century castle, before continuing to Goslar for three nights half board accommodation. 190 miles today.DAYS FIVE AND SIx: Goslar is also on the UNESCO World Heritage list, thanks to its old town of decorated half-timbered houses, and was an important seat of the Holy Roman Empire - the Imperial Palace was founded in 1040, but reconstructed in the 19th century. There are two included walking excursions from Goslar.Walk 2: Around the Bocksberg. Your first walk in the Harz is a half day walk from the pretty spa town and ski resort of Hahnenklee, 10 miles south of Goslar. Your circular route is around the Bocksberg Mountain, partly on forest tracks with good views on all sides of the mountain. 4 miles, 130m of ascent and descent. After your walk there is time to look at Hahnenklee, with its lake and wooden Norwegian-style Church which dates from 1907. You also have a guided walking tour of Goslar today. Walk 3: Goethe’s Path to the Brocken (full day). After a 20-minute coach transfer to the Torfhaus National Park Visitors Centre, you follow (roughly) in Goethe’s 1777 footsteps, crossing unusual high altitude peat moors and following an old watercourse. You then cross the old ‘inner border’

between East and West Germany which, having remained untouched for 37 years, is a modern-day treasure trove of flora and fauna: the 858 mile ‘death strip’ is now Europe’s largest nature reserve. You reach the Brocken summit, which housed the world’s first television tower (built to broadcast the 1936 Olympics), and Stasi and Soviet military listening posts, where you will have time to visit the Brockenhaus museum (entrance fee applies), and have a drink in the Witches’ Flight Café! After your stop atop the Brocken, you walk down towards the mountain resort of Schierke for your transfer back to Goslar. Total: 9 miles, 330m ascent, 500m descent.DAY SEVEN: You leave the Harz and travel to Potsdam for a short sightseeing tour. The lakes and rivers contrast beautifully with the numerous palaces and castles – such as the Cecilienhof (which hosted the 1945 conference where the United States, Russia and Britain decided on the post-war future of Germany) and the UNESCO-listed Sanssouci Palace, in its enormous park. The walled-off “Forbidden City”, with its Russian villas, was once controlled by the KGB, and gives an insight into Cold War Potsdam. One nights bed and breakfast accommodation has been reserved for you in Potsdam. 155 miles today.DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to the airport and your return flight.

This trip is a fascinating mixture of big city and modern history in Berlin, imperial capitals in Goslar and Potsdam, medieval towns in Quedlinburg and Wittenberg, and wonderful scenery in the Harz mountains. Modern ‘iron curtain’ history in the old GDR also features. A highlight of the holiday is the iconic walk along the Goetheweg (Goethe’s Path) to the Brocken – the highest point of the Harz, and a meeting place for witches described in Goethe’s Faust.

Romania – Transylvanian Alps and Bucharest

DAY ONE: Flight to Bucharest, transfer to your hotel in the centre of the city for two nights bed and breakfast hotel accommodation. There are plenty of restaurants in downtown Bucharest to suit all tastes and budgets. Your Tour Director will be on hand to assist.DAY TWO: Mid-morning walking tour of Bucharest. Romania’s cosmopolitan capital is well known for its wide boulevards and fine pre-World War I buildings that gave it the name of Little Paris. The tour will concentrate on the Old Town and the Calea Victoriei - Bucharest’s most famous avenue which leads to the beautiful Romanian Athenaeum, the Royal Palace and Revolution Square. Bucharest is also known for its stark Communist-era architecture, exemplified in Ceausescu’s monster House of the Republic, now known as the Palace of Parliament. A guided tour will show you some of 1,100 rooms of the world’s largest civilian administrative building.DAY THREE: Travel north through the Southern Carpathians to Brasov, stopping en route at Bran Castle. On a rocky outcrop guarding the entrance to a mountain pass, the castle was built by the Saxons in the late 14th century to defend Brasov from invasion by the Turks. Inside you’ll find displays of rich Western European furniture, which Queen Marie, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, purchased in the 1920s when the castle was used as a royal residence. Continue to Brasov for four nights bed and breakfast with dinner in a local restaurant this evening. (126 miles today). Arrival in Brasov will be late afternoon. Your Tour Director will conduct a short orientation walk of Brasov before dinner.DAYS FOUR TO SIx: In Brasov with two included walks. Brasov is a medieval town with ornate Saxon churches and townhouses. Local legend has it that when the Pied Piper lured away the children from Hamelin they re-emerged near Brasov’s main square, Piaţa Sfatului, in the heart of the medieval quarter. It is one of the finest Baroque squares in Romania. Here you can visit the 15th century Town Hall, with its quaint Trumpeter’s Tower on top, and the Lutheran Black Church - the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul with a 6 tonne bell and a huge organ with 4000 pipes. A great view of the old town is afforded from Mt Tampa which can be reached by cable car or by a couple of marked trails.Walk 1: Viscri. Coach transfer to Mesendorf (57 miles) for the start of the walk. This 8-mile walk (270m ascent/descent) takes you over the hills and through the meadows to Viscri. A combination of bulldozing by the Ceausescu regime and the exodus of the German-speaking population after the fall of Communism threatened to wipe out the centuries-old Saxon rural heritage in Transylvania. With the help of benefactors, including Prince Charles, restoration and preservation schemes have helped save many villages and Viscri is the most famous example. Barns, cottages, cattle troughs etc. have been repaired and rustic skills re-introduced. After the walk you have an included lunch in a local house, time to explore the village and have a tour of Viscri’s UNESCO-listed fortified church. Under continuous threat of marauding Mongols and Turks, the

Saxons not only fortified their towns, but the villages as well with defensive works centred around the church.Walk 2: Transfer by coach to the Balea waterfall. The transfer takes 2 ¼ hours which is much longer than we would normally undertake. But not only is the drive worth it, it’s part of the day’s experience. The last 25 minutes of the drive are on northern part of the Transfagarasan. The few hairpins before the waterfall will give you an idea why this was voted Top Gear’s ‘best road in the world’. The really serious bends are after the waterfall, but you see them in all their glory from the cable car which takes you to Lake Balea at 6,780ft. At the top, the 2.5 mile walk (with ascent/descent of 420m) will take about three hours to complete before you take the cable car back down for the transfer back to hotel.During your stay in Brasov there will also be an optional half day excursion to nearby Harman, where the fortified church is surrounded by a 40ft wall with seven towers, and Prejmer where the church defences include bastions, drawbridges and over 270 rooms built into the outer wall in four storeys as refuge for the village’s families in times of attack. DAY SEVEN: Return to Bucharest. Twenty four miles south of Brasov is the small mountain resort of Busteni where you start your third walk. Walk 3: The Bucegi Mountains. This part of the Prahova Valley gained popularity as a tourist destination at the end of the 19th century when King Carol I established royal residences in the area. You take the cable car from Busteni to the Babele station (7,350ft) passing the giant WWI memorial cross on Mt Caraiman. Babele is famous for its curiously shaped rock formations. With spectacular views across the valley, your walk takes you south to the Cota 2000 station where you take the cable car down to Sinaia and re-join your coach for the onward journey to Bucharest (90 miles) for your last night on a bed and breakfast basis.DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure for the airport and your flight home.

Transylvania is a land of dramatic mountain scenery, idyllic rural countryside, Saxon medieval towns and villages and, of course, vampires! From your main base in the medieval merchant town of Brasov, there are two walks in the magnificent alpine landscapes of the Fagaras and Bucegi ranges, and a third walk in Viscri - a preserved pastoral setting unique to Romania. You also stay in Bucharest where you have a tour of Ceausescu’s colossal House of the Republic, while Bran Castle, on the way to Brasov, lives up to the eerie, ghoulish image that Bram Stoker’s Dracula evokes.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: Free in Gouves with three tours with guided walks.

Walk 1: The Northern Crete Countryside. After breakfast meet your local walking guide and depart for an introductory tour of Northern Crete and its countryside. When you get to the vineyards around the villages of Skalani and Mirtia your walk starts through the Kounavi Gorge. A scenic path goes along and over the water stream through lush vegetation and abundant wild flowers. At the end of the gorge you continue through olive groves and vineyards to the traditional village of Skalani where you have free time for lunch. The guided walk through the Kounavi Gorge is approximately 5 miles with ascents/descents of 150m/220m. The day’s tour includes a total of 46 miles by coach.

Cyprus - Akamas Peninsula & the Troodos Mountains

DAY ONE: Fly direct to Paphos. Transfer to your hotel in Kato Paphos (20 minutes) for seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions, private transportation included. Two of the walks highlight the Akamas peninsula – an area of rocky coves, sandy bays on the coast and picturesque villages inland.

Walk 1: the Akamas Peninsula. After a 45-minute northwards coach transfer into the nature reserve area of the Akamas peninsula, you follow the trail that Adonis used on his way to meet Aphrodite (or so the locals say!). The area is rich in flora, including species found only here. The walk takes 3.5 hours (5 miles), with ascents/descents of 250m.

Walk 2: Panayia and the Vouni Trail. Today’s walk, starts at the village of Panayia, one hour’s drive from Paphos. The path goes through vineyards and amid unusual limestone rock formations. Your walk takes about 3 hours (4.5 miles), with ascents/descents of 300m. Before returning to Paphos, you will visit Chrysorogiatissa monastery, 3000ft up (the trail’s name, ‘Vouni’ means a ‘peak’), and founded in 1152.

Walk 3: the Troodos Mountains, 1 ½ hours drive away. These impressive, often snow-capped, mountains are the backbone of Cyprus - the highest peak, Mount Olympus, rises to 6000ft. This is a 5 mile trail around the mountain starting and finishing on the road to Chionistra, crossing ski runs and with stunning views on all sides. There are signs indicating particular flora species on the slopes and you will see black pines and junipers of the region growing out of the barren rocks. 3 hours with little ascent or descent. Apart from your three included walking excursions, there is an optional excursion to the capital and Green Line in Nicosia.


Cyprus is an ancient land of mystery, legend, beauty and love. Aphrodite rose from the sea foam near your resort of Paphos, and took pity on Pygmalion by bringing to life his statue of the beautiful Galatea - their son was Paphos. At the crossroads of three continents, the area has a long history of invasions, and but for its mountain ranges, whose winter snows irrigate the island, Cyprus would be desert instead of the lush, green landscapes you now find. Paphos was the capital for 600 years and its visible archaeological legacy has led to the whole town being placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Tenerife

DAY ONE: Flight to Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport. Transfer to your hotel (about one hour away) for seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included walking excursions in different parts of the island.

Walk 1: Mount Teide. A full day excursion onto Mount Teide, with 3-4 hours walking on the mountain slopes (breathtaking views), and time to sightsee as well. A reasonably level route will be chosen by your walking guides, according to the weather on the day. Total distance 5-6 miles, reasonably level but at an altitude of around 8000ft.

Walk 2: Anaga. Your second excursion is to the north-east of the island, for a walk in the Rural Park of Anaga, an area of volcanic cliffs and Laurisilva forests rich in wildlife. Total distance 4.4 miles with climbs of approx 300m.

Walk 3: Teno. The final included excursion is a full day trip to the extreme north west of the island, where the Teno area lies, by-passed by the traffic and seemingly by time itself. You walk in the hills above Garachico, whose harbour was filled in by a lava flow in the 18th century. This is a full day excursion, with 3-4 hours walking and time for other exploring, too. Total distance 5 miles with climbs of approx 350m.

Apart from your three included excursions, you are free to relax and enjoy the extensive facilities of your hotel, or to explore Tenerife, either independently or on an optional excursion, as you prefer.


There are a host of reasons for visiting Tenerife - the largest of the Canaries, which the classicists rightly called ‘the Fortunate Isles’. Fortunate, too, in having such a wonderful winter and spring climate for visitors from the freezing north! An island of contrasts - miles of sun-drenched coastline surround Spain’s highest mountain, Mount Teide. Accessible by cable car and often snow-capped, the desolate volcanic slopes of Teide are a world away from the tropical vegetation of the banana plantations and the botanic gardens below. You stay in the north part of the island where the traditional villages, the UNESCO-listed university town of La Laguna and historic Puerto de la Cruz are totally different in feel to the commercialised resorts of the south.

8 days from £719 February, March & November 2017, February & March 2018

Lanzarote & Fuerteventura

DAY ONE: Flight to Lanzarote, transfer to your hotel for seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In Playa Blanca, with three included walking excursions, one to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura and two within Lanzarote.

Playa Blanca: our chosen resort of Playa Blanca is quieter than most of the island’s resorts, yet has every amenity. A particular feature is the long promenade, which runs close to the harbour, passes the stunning new upmarket development of Marina Rubicon and continues out towards Papagayo. There are good island bus services, allowing you to get around by public transport if you wish.

Walk 1: Southern Lanzarote. La Geria’s unusual vineyards and the Natural Park of the Volcanoes. Coach transfer to the village of La Asomada (25 minutes), from where you walk on Mount Gaida, with superb views over the island. Your route takes you through vineyards; the vines are cultivated here in an apparently inhospitable post-volcanic environment. Entering the Natural Park area, you climb onto the Caldera called Cuervo, for views into the crater but also across the island. 7 miles, ascent/descent of 280m.

Walk 2: Fuerteventura. You walk to the port (10 minutes) to catch the ferry to Corralejo, Fuerteventura (35 minute crossing). On arrival you join your coach and head for the island’s old capital, Betancuria, which takes its name from the first Spanish settler, Jean de Bethencourt, in 1405. You will have time to explore the white-painted village before you start your 4 mile walk, which takes you along the spine of the island, with great views all around. Your destination is Vega de Rio Palmas – the ‘Meadow of Palms River’, where the apparently dry watercourse does indeed provide water for the palm trees. You have time for refreshment too(!), before you rejoin your coach to head for the Corralejo Dunes Natural Area. There you walk a further mile or so to explore the dunes - in fact an outcrop of the Sahara Desert, set by an azure sea and again rich in birdlife. You return to the port for the ferry back to Playa Blanca, arriving in time for dinner. 5 miles with mainly decsents of 200m.

Walk 3: Northern Lanzarote - Corona Volcano to the Crags of Famara. Coach transfer to the Corona Volcano (45 minutes), Lanzarote’s highest. Your walk takes you up this volcano and then across to the cliffs at Famara, from where there are excellent views of the Chinijo archipelago. Along the way you will discover some of the unusual flora of this area, which has more water than the rest of Lanzarote. 5 miles, 550m of ascent/descent.

A fourth, optional, walking excursion may also be available.


The entire island of Lanzarote is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and it contains no less than 13 ‘protected areas’ including a Spanish National Park - Timanfaya, where Raquel Welch was memorably filmed in ‘One Million Years BC’. As your base we have chosen Playa Blanca, a quieter resort in the extreme south of the island, close to the Papagayo nature reserve.

The artist Cesar Manrique left an indelible mark on the island, not just in the artistic heritage, but in his (and his followers’) dedication to maintaining the unique landscapes of his island and opposition to tasteless over-development. As you explore Lanzarote, you will see that hi-rise building has been avoided, that the traditional rural architecture with its white buildings and striking green paintwork has been respected, and above all that the island’s extraordinary landscapes have remained unblemished.

By popular demand! Quite a few of our customers who have enjoyed our walking holidays overseas have asked why we don’t organise weekends with guided walks in the UK. The answer is that we do, but, until now, only for Walking Groups who ask us. So we have decided to arrange three weekends in different parts of the country using some tried and tested itineraries. Plus we know that many of our customers link up with their friends from other parts of the country once a year on one of our foreign holidays. Now there’s the chance to jump in the car and meet up here at home as well. All weekends start on Friday evening with a welcome drink and meeting with your walking guide and include three nights’ dinner, bed and breakfast, a guided walk on Saturday and Sunday, and transport to and from the walks.

GB WEEKENDS

England – the Yorkshire DalesHotel: Rendezvous Hotel, Skipton. On the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, 1 ½ miles south of Skipton, the hotel has a canal-side restaurant and complimentary use of the leisure club with fully equipped gym, swimming pool, spa pool, sauna and steam room is included for all guests. rendezvous-skipton.co.uk1 SEPTEMBER, 2017Walk 1: Thirty-minute transfer by minibus to the start of the walk and probably the best limestone scenery in the Dales where you join an ancient green road used by the monks of Fountains Abbey to visit their farms at Malham. Following a metalled road at Malham Tarn you head towards Malham Cove by way of the Water Sinks and The Dry Valley. The latter has been dry for all of living memory until last winter when a stream appeared and went over the Cove as it must have done at the end of the Ice Age. The ground down the Dry Valley is rocky and slippery when wet, being limestone. However most

of it has had rough steps put in by National Park Volunteers. You emerge onto the top of Malham Cove with its spectacular limestone pavement of clints and grykes. From here you descend to Gordale bridge and visit Gordale Scar waterfall. This is a collapsed Cave system leaving the waterfall coming through what was once the roof. Retracing your steps, walk to Malham village through woodland and passing Jennet’s Fosse (where the fairies play). The minibus takes you back to Skipton where those with energy may alight walking through the market before joining the tow path of the Leeds & Liverpool canal for a 1 mile walk back to the hotel. 8.5 miles with no ascents.Walk 2: Twenty-minute transfer to the start of the walk at Grassington where you descend to the river Wharfe, and cross on the ‘Tin Bridge’ before ascending through the fields to the village of Linton. Linton was once described as the prettiest village in the North of England. The village green is bounded

by the Fountaine Inn, Fountaine’s Hospital and Linton Beck. You cross the Beck by any one of the three bridges, modern, packhorse and clapper. Alternatively you can use the ford. Then, it’s through more fields to join the lane to Thorpe. This is a hidden hamlet, and so it is said, escaped the ravages of Viking raiders. From here you walk through a series of pastures and stiles to re-join the Wharfe at Burnsall. The route then follows the river bank to a suspension bridge where you cross the river. Stepping stones are also available. Leaving the river, you climb up to the village of Hebden, famous locally for its lead mines. You pass through more fields and the grounds of Grassington Hospital (now demolished) before joining High Lane into Grassington. Time to relax, as you make your way through the village to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Car Park where your transport awaits. 7.5 miles 150m total ascent.

£299 per person sharing a twin/double. Single room supplement £75.

Scotland – Loch LomondHotel: Winnock Hotel, Drymen. On the green in the conservation village of Drymen, 14 miles from Glasgow and 4 miles from Loch Lomond, the hotel is a great base from which to explore the area. winnockhotel.com6 OCTOBER 2017Walk 1: Balmaha: Faults and Islands on the edge of the Highlands. Ten-minute transfer to the start of the walk in Balmaha on the Loch.This is an interesting walk of two halves. The first half has a couple of short steeper sections as it follows the West Highland Way trail to the 360m summit of ‘’The Conic’’, a steep sided top on a ridge of hard sandstone conglomerate which delineates the Highland Boundary Fault and gives superb views over Loch Lomond and its southern archipelago of sizeable islands. The return route descends a subsidiary ridge, re-joining the West Highland Way at Manse Bay on the beautiful wooded shores of the Loch. Having returned to Balmaha, the second half begins with a delightful 5-minute ferry ride over to the historic, atmospheric and stunningly beautiful Inchcailloch, a wooded island

nature reserve managed by the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. The island’s oak woods have fascinating stories to tell about former human inhabitants as well as the abundant wildlife which makes its home there today. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of an osprey or one of Inchcaillach’s resident population of fallow deer which were introduced by the medieval aristocracy for sport. Your exploration reveals touchstones giving evidence of the island’s ancient geological origins as well as its more recent human history, including signs of early Christianity, the grave of a MacGregor chieftain, and illicit whisky distillation! The trails on Inchcailloch are all well-made and the few short steepish sections generally have handrails and steps. 6 miles 465m ascent/descent.Walk 2: Luss and Beinn Dubh: Heartland of the Colquhouns. You start with a brief exploration of the pretty conservation village of Luss which has centuries old associations with the Colquhoun Lairds who for 8 centuries have held substantial lands in this area. After a quick look at the village’s charming lochside church you head along a level trail following the banks of Luss Water where you see evidence

of the village’s industrial past. Soon you join the hill path ascending the eastern spur of Beinn Dubh and, with ever-expanding views over Loch Lomond and its dozen strong archipelago of sizeable islands, you reach the summit plateau after 2 miles of continuous climbing. As the plateau lies at an elevation of 650m, the weather may be cold, wet and windy during a 2 mile traverse to look down the precipitous glacial headwalls of Coire na h-Eanachan and Coire Carlaig which hang above Glen Douglas to the north. There are stupendous views here towards Ben Lomond and the rugged peaks of the Arrochar Alps. From Mid Hill you descend grassy slopes into Glen Striddle where the 18th century ‘Ram’s Heid Brig’ reminds us of the historic importance of sheep in shaping the story of the Scottish Highlands. Two miles of delightful descent through the birches which line the quiet Glen Luss road soon bring you back to the start point and maybe a well-earned cuppa at one of Luss’s tearooms! This 8 mile route has 650m of ascent and includes 5 miles over rough hill paths and trackless moorland which can be wet underfoot.


Wales – the GowerHotel: Mercure Swansea Hotel. On the outskirts of Swansea, 4 miles from the centre of the city, the hotel has pleasant gardens and an indoor pool. The heated indoor pool, sauna and gym are free to hotel guests. mercureswansea.co.uk15 SEPTEMBER 2017Walk 1: The Gower Coastal Walk. Fifty minute transfer to the start of the walk at Pilton Green. You meet the coastline at Paviland, where, if it is low tide, you can see the cave in which the remains of the 32,000 year old “Red Lady” were discovered. Continuing westwards, past Iron Age fortifications, always keeping the coastline with its magnificent seascapes to the left, you soon reach Mewslade

and Fall Bays, both far enough from the main roads to keep them peaceful for sun lovers and bathers alike. Around a headland, you catch your first glimpse of the iconic Worm’s Head. Isolated from the mainland twice a day at high tide, the island is only accessible via a rocky causeway. Finally, you pass a Lifeguard Station before proceeding towards one of the top ten beaches in the world at Rhossilli and a well-deserved “cuppa”. 6 miles – 90m ascent/descent.Walk 2: Gower Coast & Country. A walk that takes you to parts of the Gower that most visitors never get to see begins with a 30-minute transfer to Moorlakes Wood with its verdant canopy. You head towards Ilston Church with its beautiful interior and stained glass windows. Continuing, you visit the

remains of the oldest Baptist Chapel in Wales, then onwards towards Pennard Castle and the village that vanished beneath sand dunes, following a cataclysmic storm. Onwards again, this time to the wonderful Three Cliffs Bay, site of many a TV advert and pop video. Whether you take the descent to the beach or prefer to take in the views from the higher ground, you will be astounded by the elegance and beauty of this amazing seascape. The walk ends at the Gower Inn, an ideal spot to sip a glass of real ale or a glass of wine while you ponder over your walk through Britain’s first “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”. 6 miles – 90m ascent/descent.


ITINERARIES AND HOTELS: Accommodation has been reserved in the hotels mentioned, but we do reserve the right to substitute similar hotels should circumstances dictate. Please note that at the discretion of the hotels (and their view of the local climate), lido and pool areas, as well as air-conditioning, may not be operational, and hotels’ charging policies for access to spas, safety deposits, wifi, etc are always subject to change. Half board normally includes evening dinner and breakfast. We make group bookings in hotels. In some hotels this will mean a set menu at dinner with no or limited choice, so please make sure we are aware of any special dietary requirements. Where house wine is included with dinner, this will be limited in colour, type and quantity by the hotel! Please refer to Clause 19 of our Booking Conditions for further information regarding hotels. Hotel check-in times are usually between 2pm and 3pm, check-out times between 10am and 12 noon on the day of departure. However, times do vary. Therefore, if you check-in immediately after a night flight this would normally count as one night’s accommodation. Similarly if your return flight is at night you will normally be required to vacate your room in the morning prior to leaving for the airport later on. Day rooms are subject to availability/cost and should be arranged locally with the hotel. The order of visits described may be subject to change. Where a train or boat journey features in a programme the journey will be made by road if, for any reason, the train or boat is not operating. Optional excursions operate at extra cost and are subject to minimum numbers. Changes may be made to the particulars in this brochure at any time.

WALKS:WALKING GROUPS AND INSURANCE: The walks are designed for regular walkers of average fitness. If you wish to walk further, our guides will assist you with information on other walking possibilities in the area. If you wish to stick to shorter distances, some of our walks can be abridged to suit – though in some instances you may have to pay for a taxi back to the hotel from a convenient point! For your comfort and security, and in recognition of the fact that paths in places may be stony or wet, it is essential that you should have appropriate footwear: either strong walking shoes or boots (new boots should be broken in) which give ankle support and have soles with a good grip – walking poles (collapsible to fit inside hold luggage), if you have them, take the strain off the joints, and are handy if not essential. A light waterproof coat is advisable, as is sun cream and a hat; binoculars and camera are an extremely good idea, and drinking water is essential. The details of the walks are believed correct at the time of printing. However, they may be amended due to local conditions or substituted with walks of similar content and quality. Sim-ilarly the order of operation of the walks is subject to confirmation. Distances and elevations should be taken as indicative only and may not agree with local signage nor with GPS systems’ readings, which, as we have found out, do not always agree with each other! Please bear in mind that while walks are on marked paths, farm tracks and tarmac roads, the different nature of terrain, vegetation and local standards in the resort areas means that these are often very different to those you would find in the UK. Vive la difference! We normally provide a walking guide/assistant guide for every 15-20 walkers. This ratio can change slightly for operational reasons (e.g. terrain, local regulations, guide availability). When required, transport to the start point is included. If we use a larger coach to get more than one walking group to a start point, you may be asked to delay starting out so as to keep walking groups separate. Please check with your insurer if in doubt. Our travel insurance covers you for group walks up to an altitude of 3000m (approx 9850ft). The highest altitude reached on any of our group walks is 2550m (8415ft). If you decide to walk separately from our group, or if you have not taken out our insurance please ensure your cover is valid, particularly if you are going above 2000m/6560ft. EXTENDED STAYS: Where it is possible to extend your holiday and have an extra week, all excursions are planned to take place during the first week. Please note that in some cases during the second week an emergency contact number will be given in lieu of the services of a local representative. Naturally, your return airport transfer will be arranged for you. PRICES: These are subject to change - please see Clause 3 of our Booking Conditions. How-ever, once we have confirmed your booking, your holiday price is guaranteed. Please note that optional excursions, porterage, drinks with main meals and travel insurance are not normally included in the holiday price. In some places tourist taxes are being introduced, which are paid in resort by hotel guests. These are not included in the holiday price and will have to be paid by you directly to the hotel. We shall let you know if such taxes apply when you book or as soon as we become aware if they are introduced after you booked.

PAYMENTS BY CREDIT CARD: Please note that balance or part balance payments by credit card are subject to a charge of 2% of the payment being made. No charges apply to payments by cheque, debit card, bank transfer, or where full payment is made at the time of booking.CUSTOMER CARE: Our customers have all the assurance of booking an ATOL protected hol-iday from a tour operator which cares about its customers. You can read comments from some of the customers our staff looked after so well during the ash crisis in the spring and during

the strikes in France and Spain in the autumn of 2010 at www.preferredts.com. If your home-ward flight is disrupted, we will get you home as soon as possible. If the airline has not made arrangements for accommodation and meals we shall do so. Please note that in order to offer this service we rely on your cooperation in dealing with claims for reimbursement from the air-line concerned. Please see clause 18 for our general policy on flight cancellations and delays.FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENTS: Obviously the departure dates of our holidays are set and as advertised. Occasionally extra dates will be added due to demand – please look at our website www.preferredts.com or call us. If you wish to combine two holidays into a longer break, or e.g. stay behind in your destination country to visit friends, we will try to assist and arrange special flight arrangements. Please note that for bookings including special flight arrangements there will be an administration fee of £15 per person, and the deposit payment (non-refundable) will be £250 per person. HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND TRAVEL ADVICE: There are no compulsory health require-ments for the countries we visit. For up to date UK government health and travel advice please visit www.dh.gov.uk/ travellers (020 7210 4850) or check with your GP, practice nurse or travel health clinic for advice. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office provides up-to-date travel advice at www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougoEUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD (EHIC):The EHIC replaced the old E111 in 2006. Your EHIC lets you get state healthcare at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. It will cover you for treatment that is needed to allow you to continue your stay until your planned return. The card is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical health-care or costs such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, being flown back to the UK, or lost or sto-len property. Therefore, it is important to have both an EHIC and a valid private travel insurance policy. Most insurers now insist you hold an EHIC. The EHIC is valid in all European Economic Area (EEA) countries. The EEA is a free trade zone between countries of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. The regulations on access to healthcare in the EEA also apply in Switzerland. Applying for an EHIC is free of charge. You can apply online at www.ehic.org.uk or by phoning the automated service on 0300 3301350.PASSPORTS/VISAS: Full British passport required. No visa requirements for UK citizens. Na-tionals of other countries should consult the appropriate authorities. For visits to countries in the EU, passports must be valid on the day of return, but you should give yourself some leeway. Furthermore, requirements for countries outside the EU vary so we suggest you have 6 months validity from the date of your return to cover all eventualities. Please call us if you would like information about a specific country. You must have a passport for travel to/from the UK. In case your passport is lost or stolen overseas, a photocopy of the photograph page will be of help in obtaining an emergency passport from the Consulate for return travel. Make sure you are insured for the costs of obtaining an emergency passport. These will be the application fees but may also include expensive transport costs getting to/from the Consulate.YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION: All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it. Please see Clause 14 of our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLcertificate.DATA PROTECTION: Please be assured that we have measures in place to protect the per-sonal booking information held by us. This information will be passed on to the principal and to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. If you travel outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will only pass your information on to persons responsible for your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we will be unable to provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.) Full details of our data protection policy are available upon request. We may also send you from time to time details of our other products and services and/or those of our newspaper and carefully selected third parties which may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such information please indicate this in the space provided on the booking form or call us.

Plus great walks and guide. Thank you. Miss D, Wirral - CyprusThanks to Manuel and the rest of the team for a stimulating and very enjoyable holiday. The guides and rep were all very well informed and enthusiastically passed on their knowledge of this part of Spain. The hotel was comfortable and good value. We enjoyed the good variety of the en-tertainment laid on by the hotel each night. Direct flights from our nearest airport another plus! This holiday was a great introduction to the holidays of Preferred Travel Services. Hopefully it will not be too long before we look to travel with you again. Mr J, Clackmannanshire – Eastern AndaluciaThis is our 3rd PTS holiday and the first walking holiday. The walks were excellent with so much to see and do in the area. Will definitely do another PTS walking holiday. Christian was a superb and knowledgeable guide. Thank you! Mr & Mrs B, Edinburgh – Valleys of the Roussillon

We recently enjoyed a group holiday at Isla Canela. This is the third time we have been on a Preferred Travel Services walking holiday and once again we were rewarded with a wonderful experience. Right from the start at the airport and the bus from Faro to the hotel, everything went smoothly. Our rooms at the hotel were of a very high standard, the variety and quality of food was good and the staff were friendly and efficient. A mark of all three holidays has been the quality of the walk leaders. Once again our group were impressed with the knowledge and sensitivity of the guides. We would have no hesitation in recommending Preferred Travel Services Walking holidays to other groups. Mr & Mrs B, Caerphilly – Guadiana River & Western AndaluciaEnjoyed our holiday in the Diamante Beach Hotel in Calpe. Everything love-ly, food, rooms and service. Our walking guides were lovely, kind, knowl-edgeable and interesting. The trip to Valencia had an excellent guide on the coach and walking around the city. All in all - a great holiday. Thank you. Mrs D, Carmarthenshire – Costa Blanca MountainsThank you, we’ve really enjoyed our 1st holiday with PTS. The mixture of walking & city visits has been ideal for us & all your arrangements have been excellent, in particular our 2 local guides, Paulina & Peter, have been outstanding. Both have been friendly, knowledgeable, cheerful & enthusias-tic. We’re looking forward to travelling with PTS again. Mr & Mrs S, Aberdeenshire – Poland & the TatrasMy husband and I have enjoyed this holiday very much. The hotel is excel-lent in all ways. Javi rep and walking guide is brilliant and we have loved all the walks under his guidance. Thank you. Mr & Mrs R, Menorca – Tyne & Wear

Dates, Prices and Flight Information0116 279 3929

www.preferredts.comHoliday Prices and Insurance PremiumsPrices shown are per person sharing a twin or double-bedded room. Supplements, including single room supplements, are shown for each holiday. The deposit for each holiday is £125 per person (please refer to How to Book). Insurance premiums are £44.95 per person under the age of 80 at the date of departure for holidays up to 10 days and £54.95 for two weeks.FlightsWe list all the airports available for each holiday. So if you have friends in other parts of the country who want to join you, you can check which is the best airport for them. We are even able to arrange for a friend travelling from a different airport to share a twin/double room with you for the holiday! Just ask us. Please note that while all airports are listed, by no means all of them will be used on the same date. Transfers to your hotel on arrival will be arranged by coach, minivan or car as appropriate. In the tables which follow for each holiday, ‘Dep’ times are departure times from the UK airport and ‘Rtn’ times are when you land back.Flight DetailsAirlines and timings are subject to change. Please refer to Clause 6 of the Booking Conditions. Our brochures are printed some time in advance and, in some cases, before the airline has published its timetable. In these cases timings shown are based on experience of previous years. While latest known flight timings will be given at the time of booking these can change. Sometimes an airline will add a new route: when possible, we may add this to our programme. Sometimes routes are withdrawn, in which case we will adjust our programme and offer alternatives if possible. In-flight meals are not included. Where airlines charge separately for checked baggage, carriage of one suitcase per person is included in the holiday price. Precise information on baggage allowances will be sent with your travel documents 10-14 days before departure along with your boarding passes for those airlines where we have checked you in on-line. Seating policies vary from airline to airline. In most cases seats are pre-allocated which cannot be changed. Therefore, if you have any seating preferences (including guaranteed seats together), it is important that you mark these in the Special Requests part of the booking form, or, because in many cases we perform online check-in on your behalf, at least four weeks before your departure date. We shall tell you if your preferences can be accommodated and at what extra cost, if any. If you tell us about any seating preferences after we have sent your travel documents, we shall do our best to accommodate you, but there will be a fee of £15 per person plus any costs charged by the airline. Flights from Norwich Airport: Please note that Norwich Airport charges a development fee of £10 per passenger which is payable locally and is not included in our holiday prices.

Travel insurance is a vital aspect to booking a holiday, giving you protection against unforeseen circumstances that could otherwise spoil your holiday. It is important that you purchase travel insurance that properly covers your participation in whatever activities you may undertake at the time that you make your booking. To assist you with this, we have arranged travel insurance from Travel & General Insurance Services Limited. Should you decide not to purchase our insurance, you must provide us with details of your alternative insurance with your final payment.

The schedule of the cover opposite sets out a summary of the cover provided by our insurance.

We regret cover is not available to persons aged over 80 years at the date of departure.These details are correct as at 6 December 2016 and are subject to change without notice. As cover under the Cancellation section commences immediately the holiday booking has been confirmed, no refund in premium can be allowed. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your holiday, any insurance premiums paid to Preferred Travel Services will automatically be refunded. However, we cannot refund premiums paid to other insurers. If you have arranged your own insurance please check that the premium will be refunded in the event of cancellation by us.Walking Holidays.

If you decide to walk separately from our group, or if you have not taken out our insurance please ensure your cover is valid.

These Booking Conditions and the information in the brochure form the basis of your contract with Preferred Travel Services (‘we’ and ‘us’). ‘You’ means the person making the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date).

1.Your contract – when you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. A contract will exist as soon as we send our confirmation invoice. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so.

2. Payment – in order to confirm your holiday, the appropriate deposit must be paid at the time of booking. The balance of the holiday cost must be received by the Balance Due Date which will be shown on our confirmation invoice. The Balance Due Date is 8 weeks before departure for Group A Holidays (holidays by air), 6 weeks before departure for Group B Holidays (holidays with no flight of more than 4 days duration) and 4 weeks before departure for Group C Holidays (holidays with no flight of 4 days or less). If you are booking after that date full payment must accompany your booking form. Reminders are not sent. If we do not receive payments due in full, on time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements and retain your deposit.

3. Your holiday price – we reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. The price of your travel arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 18/08/16 in relation to the following currencies: £1 = Euro 1.16. The price of your travel arrangements is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges.

4. Changes by you – if, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request

for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £15 per person, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible.

Note: Certain travel arrangements (eg. Air Tickets) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

5. Cancellation by you – should you or a member of your party need to cancel the holiday once it has been confirmed, you must immediately advise us in writing. Notice of cancellation is only effective when it is received in writing at our offices (see Date Received in the table below). Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges in the table below (shown as loss of deposit up to the Balance Due Date and percentages of the total holiday cost thereafter). Insurance premiums are non refundable.

Should one of the members of your party cancel who is sharing a double/twin room, the relevant single room supplement will become payable and added to your holiday cost.

6. If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday – As we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Changes If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. In some cases we will also pay compensation (see below). These options don’t apply for minor changes. Examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights which reduce your stay in resort by less than 12 hours, a change of overseas airport, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in the brochure are subject to change. Cancellation We will not cancel your travel arrangements after the Balance Due Date (see clause 2), except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached. If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value).In some cases we will pay compensation (see below). If we make a change to or cancel your travel arrangements for any reason, we will not reimburse any expenses, costs or losses including, but not limited to, payments to third parties such as insurance premiums, car parking, hotel accommodation, currency, connecting flights or other travel arrangements, kennelling fees etc. Compensation If we cancel or make a major change we will pay compensation as detailed below except where the major change or cancellation arises due to reasons of force majeure. The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.

Please see Clause 2 definitions of Group A, B and C.

Force Majeure: We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport.

7. Our Liability to you – (a) We make every effort to ensure that all arrangements are made correctly and efficiently. We accept responsibility if any of the services which we have agreed to provide for you as part of our contract with you prove deficient or not of a reasonable standard. We also accept responsibility for what our employees, agents, suppliers and sub-contractors do or do not do (providing they were at the time carrying out work authorised by us) except for death, personal injury or illness results (dealt with below). This acceptance of responsibility is, however, subject to force majeure and the other terms of these Booking Conditions.

(b) Subject to these Booking Conditions, we accept responsibility should you or any member of your party suffer death, personal injury, illness, loss or damage as a result of any failure to perform or improper performance of any part of our contract with you by any of our employees, agents, suppliers or sub-contractors (providing they were at the time carrying out work authorised by us) except in the following situations. We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper performance was due to:- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or those of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or an event which either ourselves or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not have foreseen or avoided even with all due care.

(c) It is a condition of the acceptance of liability set out in clauses 8(a) and 8(b) of these Booking Conditions that you notify us in accordance with the terms of clause 9 of any claim made by you or any member of your party. Any person(s) to whom any payment is made (and their parent or guardian if that person is under 18 years of age) must assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party in connection with the claim. You must provide us and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.

(d) In all cases, we limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you and/or any member of your party for any or all claims or parts of claims which involve, air, sea, rail or road carriers and/or hotel keepers and other services they provide as if we were carriers/hotel keepers within the applicable international conventions (eg., Warsaw Convention as amended for travel by air, Athens Convention for travel by sea). Therefore for all claims which result from international carriage, compensation will only be paid for those conditions where the carriers concerned would be obliged to pay compensation at the relevant international convention were a claim made against that carrier in that particular situation. You must give credit for all payments received from the carrier or other suppliers.

(e) This clause 7 is intended to set out our obligations to you as a tour operator in the light of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. Please note, we regret we cannot make any payment to you or any member of your party if the person concerned is not entitled to one from us under these Regulations.

8. Prompt assistance in resort – If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

9. Complaints and problems – If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotelier) and our resort representative immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing by post to our Customer Services Department giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you.

It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question as well as to our representative without delay and complete a report form whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the

opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W3692. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

10. Behaviour – when you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your actions. We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our opinion or in the opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, annoyance or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.

11. Conditions of suppliers – many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from ourselves or the supplier concerned.

12. Special requests and medical problems – if you have a request, you must advise us at time of booking and clearly note it on your booking form. Although we will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract; we cannot accept any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfillment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as standard bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests. If you or a member of your party has a medical problem/disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us before you book so that we can advise accordingly, also, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking. Please note that to get the best out of your visit to certain places may involve walking on inclines, through cobbled streets etc. If we feel unable to accommodate the needs of the person concerned, or reasonably feel that the enjoyment of other travellers may be prejudiced, we reserve the right to decline/cancel their reservation. We regret we cannot accept any bookings from wheelchair users unless travelling with a companion able and willing to take responsibility when boarding coaches, trains etc and on excursions. If this proves not to be the case at the start of or during your holiday, we shall assist in making arrangements for your immediate return to the UK at your own cost and we shall not pay compensation or make any refund in respect holiday curtailment. Our representatives, guides, coach drivers etc. are not permitted to offer physical assistance.

13. Passports, visas and health requirements. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

Information on health is contained in a leaflet (Health Advice for Travellers) available from local Department of Health offices and most Post Offices. For holidays outside the UK you should have a European Health Insurance Card prior to departure. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. The Foreign & Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit may have issued information about your holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on the internet under the address http://www.fco.gov.uk/

14. Your Financial Protection – We provide full financial protection for our package holidays. For flight-based holidays this is through our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 5537. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative

ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight, protection is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA.

15. Brochure Accuracy – the information and prices shown in this brochure may have changed by the time you come to book. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the brochure and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking. This brochure is our sole responsibility. It is not issued on behalf of and does not commit any other organisation/ carriers whose services are featured.

16. Safety standards – please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.

17. Brochure Information & Timings – all timings given are for general guidance only and are subject to change. Please note that changes to flight departure times which reduce your stay in resort by less than 12 hours are not major changes for the purposes of clause 6. Precise timings, intended order of excursions/visits and joining instructions will be sent with your tickets approximately ten days before departure. You are asked to remember that hotel, resort or other facilities may not be available during your stay due to seasonality or may be withdrawn for maintenance or other reasons beyond our control. In these circumstances we shall bear no resulting liability. Please note: the duration/number of days shown in the brochure includes the days of departure and return. Any photographs/ illustrations contained in this brochure are purely representative of the type of places visited, and do not necessarily depict your exact accommodation/destination.

18. Flight Delays and Flights – While we shall try to assist in every way to minimise the effects of any delays we do not accept liability for any delays which occur. Where a delay does occur we shall consult with the airline concerned regarding the provision of appropriate refreshments. Some protection is afforded by our recommended travel insurance, and you should ensure your own insurance policy provides adequate cover for flight delays and cancellation. Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 6. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the CAA online at www.caa.co.uk. For assistance by phone call 020 7453 6888. Please note that very occasionally an airline may add a touchdown en route. In this case a flight with an intermediate stop not involving a change of aircraft is still considered a direct flight.

19. Hotel Ratings, Bedrooms and Meals. We are required by law to state the star rating of hotels. All star ratings stated are those given by the authorities of the country concerned and are an indication only of relative standards. Actual standards can vary between hotels of the same category. Similarly, as the basis for star ratings varies from country to country, hotels with the same rating but in different countries may not be of the same standard. Facilities in single rooms may differ from double rooms. Hotels charge a supplement for single rooms even where there is only one single bed as the costs of the upkeep of the room is the same, regardless of how many people occupy it. Triple rooms may consist of a double bed and bed-settee or folding bed. Our aim of providing holidays with interesting and unusual itineraries takes us to places away from mass-market tourism. In some cases, where dinner is included, it may be on a fixed menu basis with no choice as opposed to buffet style. Please notify us of any dietary requirements. Depending on flight timings, dinner may consist of a cold plate on arrival at the hotel if the kitchens are closed.

20. Websites – We are not responsible for the contents of websites of hotels or other suppliers and tourist boards etc. included in this brochure. Their contents do not form part of our contract with you nor can they be construed as representations by us.
