Grade 3: This grade is ideal for those who enjoy a variation in walking levels from easy to moderate. You’ll be walking mainly on good paths at a low altitude, with occasional more demanding ascents and descents. Walking regularly in preparation prior to the tour is recommended due to 5 to 9 miles of walking in the space of 2.5 to 4 hours per day.
Included excursions
Sierra de Aracena Natural Park
1 / 5
Hike from Aguafría through scenic hills, passing pig farms and whitewashed towns en route to Almonaster la Real. After a rewarding 3 km climb up Cerro San Cristóbal, explore the town’s cobbled streets, castle ruins, and its rare 10th-century mosque.
Rio Piedras Nature Reserve and El Rompido
1 / 5
Enjoy a gentle walk through the varied landscapes of the Río Piedras Nature Reserve – from wetlands and sand dunes to shady pine groves. Afterwards, relax in El Rompido, a peaceful riverside village known for its rich birdlife.
Huelvas Mining area
1 / 5
Step into the striking landscape of Huelva’s mining region, where trails wind through rust-red hills shaped by centuries of mineral extraction. Along the way, learn about the Río Tinto mines – a site so unique it has been studied by NASA.
River Guadiana
1 / 5
Follow the River Guadiana from Casa Cañaveral to Sanlúcar de Guadiana, walking along historic mining paths and Roman causeways. Enjoy views of the Portuguese border and stops at 19th-century Puerto de la Laja and the scenic river’s edge. The route is long and at times challenging, but the vistas are well worth the effort.
Doñana National Park
1 / 5
2026 Departures only. Explore part of Doñana National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, walking across marshland, fossil dunes, and sandy shores to Lake Jaral. Enjoy views of El Asperillo Cliff and the Abalario pinewoods on this scenic and wildlife-rich route.
Location
A wilder, more rustic side of Andalusia can be found on the Costa de la Luz, where the pace of life is slower than in some of the tourist hotspots. El Rompido is a peaceful fishing town set at the mouth of the Piedras River. A string of cafes and restaurants line the waterfront and there is a small, town square with a traditional, whitewashed church. There are several well-signposted walking trails from the hotel into the protected nature reserve. The nine-mile route takes you through marshlands, pine forests and shifting sand dunes. The nearest bus stop from the hotel is 110 yards away. The drive to/from the airport takes approximately one hour.
Out and about
A complimentary shuttle service runs to the city of Seville and the Portuguese town of Tavira (alternate weeks), both of which showcasetraditional Moorish architecture, atmospheric cobbled streets, and a variety of museums and galleries.
Seville
Discover the historic Andalusian city of Seville. Perhaps see the Plaza de España and nearby Maria Luisa Park, the Paseo de las Palmerasand the ancient district of Triana across the river, birthplace of ‘sevillana’ flamenco music. There is also a Gothic Cathedral and the Giralda, a 12th-century bell tower that was formerly a minaret from an old mosque. Other highlights include the 14th-century Alcázar, built as a royal residence and still used by the Royal family, located in the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter of the city.
Tavira
The little city of Tavira is located on Portugal’s Algarve coast. The cobbled streets of its historic heart are home to over 30 ornate churches and traditional Portuguese architecture. Perhaps take a stroll along the banks of the Gilão River, which is crossed by a Roman bridge.
