DESCRIPTION:
An enriching and
scenically rewarding 3 day / 2 night guided walking holiday in lush cork forests surrounded
by gorgeous mountain terrain and babbling streams. The walks tend to connect the remote
white villages of the sierras while baggage is conveniently delivered to the hotel. A
great introduction to walking holidays with a load of culture, history, wildlife and good
times thrown in!
Adventurebug is locally based and seeks only authentic experiences on all of its tour programs.
GENERAL DETAILS:
Accommodation is in
charming, modern village hotels and guest houses with complete bathrooms (based on 2
sharing). Tasty breakfast and dinners are provided by the hotels while lunches in the
form of 'tapas' picnics to be taken on the trail! Walks take place in the untouched, forested
mountains of the Sierra de Bermeja - roughly 45 minutes inland from the coastal area of
Estepona. Included in the price is all accommodation, all meals, local transport,
taxes and the professional guide.

"…. The hills, rocks and goats and just the pleasure of
sitting in the sun in the square…" Jeannie Wexler (Vancouver, CANADA)
DAY 1:
We meet in the sea side town of Estepona at 9am and then transport by mini bus
up to Casares village where we begin our first walk in this lovely
countryside. Emphasis today is on the wide variety of wild
flowers, herbs, bird life and the strong Moorish influence on the
region. Distance: 7-10 km / Easy
DAY 2:
Keeping with the tradition of inspiring walks and maximum scenery, we begin today's adventure
by descending a path of age-old stones put in place hundreds of years before. The route,
likely an earlier smuggler's path is still used today by goat herders and villagers alike.
Our journey then takes us to the peaceful and untouched Artisan village of
Genalguacil. Here we
will enjoy a tapas lunch and relaxation before we return to our base - the
Arabic village of Benarraba. Our second night will be spent at Javi & Mercedes
gorgeous mountain hotel with its pool, gardens and very tasty meals! Distance: 8 km / Easy to Moderate
DAY 3:
Our final day and one of the finest walks in the history of the entire region. This
morning we set off on the traditional path leading to the great plains
of Grazalema National Park. One of Spain's own heritage routes,
this ancient path dates back to Phoenician times and was made famous
as a bandit stronghold for 200 years. An excellent place for
spotting birds of prey (one with a wing span of 3m)! Distance: 8-10 km / Easy to Moderate
