days of sunshine a year what better choice of destination for walking holidays could there be?

Independent walking holidays These are walking holidays that are planned for you from the accommodation to luggage transportation between hotels and they provide easy to follow route maps for different grades of walks.

The Spanish walk the Drovers’ Roads of Andalucía is featured in a new book by Steve Watkins and Clare Jones which is called Unforgettable walks to take before you die. The book is filled with fantastic photos by Steve and Clare taken on the nine month trip it took them to research the book.

The north of Spain near the Pyrenees’ and the Mediterranean Sea is another destination for walking holidays, but whatever location you choose in Spain,
stunning scenery is a cert, and although good weather can never be certain it's worth betting on sunshine here!

The best time for walking is April, May, Sept and October for northern Spain and January, February, March, April, May, September, October, November and December for Andalucia.
