How do I
get there?
The price of our holidays does not include flights, allowing you to travel from your most convenient local airport, or to join us in Spain.
The starting point for our holidays is Malaga Airport. Flights to Malaga are plentiful and competitively priced from most UK airports and from others in northern Europe.
Airport transfers are provided at the specified times. Transfers from Malaga normally leave the airport at around midday on the day of arrival and return to Malaga at around 10:00. Transfers can be arranged at other times but there may be a small additional cost.
If you have any difficulty in arranging your flights, our Administrator in the UK will be more than happy to help you with your reservations.
And why not come mid-week and take advantage of the Easyjet cheap fares - www.easyjet.com |

What
Equipment do I need to bring with me?
Your
most important item is, of course, a pair of comfortable
walking boots with ankle support and a sole that provides
grip, as some of the terrain can be rugged at times. It can
be cold - especially high in the mountains - so you should
bring some warm clothing, particularly in early Spring and
late Autumn.
And, just in case . . . a lightweight waterproof. We hope
you won't need it. Mostly we will be walking in dry weather,
in warm sunshine, so casual, comfortable, summer clothes
will generally suffice. A hat and sun protection cream is
essential. A small rucksack for carrying lunch is also
recommended and you might consider a walking stick, as some
of the ground is a bit rough. |
|
Is the
accommodation comfortable?
Although the houses are typical Spanish village houses, they
have been modernised, they are well equipped with good
bathroom facilities, the beds are a good standard, and you
will not be overcrowded. They are equipped with fridge
freezers and hairdryers, and satellite free-to-view
television is also provided.
Most of our houses have English TV and/or DVD (please specify your requirements when booking). |
| Will I have to share? Houses are allocated on a shared basis. All our bedrooms have their own bathroom. We do have a limited number of one-bedroomed houses if you prefer not to share. |
| Is my Money Safe? Your money is 100% recoverable if Walk Andalucia ceases to trade. This query was sent to the Times Travel recently and you can click here for the response. |
|
Do I have
to be fit?
You will need to be reasonably fit, but we want our guests
to enjoy rather than endure their holiday so that you do not
need to be super-fit. All our walks are graded 'easy' to
'moderate' so you don't have to be super fit. Please call us
if you need more advice. |
|
Is the
whole group expected to be of the same walking capability
and experience?
We do try to arrange our walks so that we can cater for
people of different capabilities so that, if you do not want
to climb to the top of a hill, we will happily give you a
lift in our 4x4. |
|
What
happens if I injure myself on a walk?
Our guides
are trained in first-aid. They also carry mobile telephones
so that help can be contacted if necessary. |
|
Are there
many single people on your holidays?
We
particularly welcome single people on our friendly and
inclusive tours. |
|
What is
the average age of people who go on your holidays?
We have people of all ages on our walks. Typically, our
clients tend to be in their 40s, 50s, and 60s but everyone
is welcome. |
|
Are
vegetarians catered for?
Yes,
there is a vegetarian option every night. |
|
Are
towels provided?
All
linen is provided. Laundry and hairdryer facilities are
provided in the houses. |
|
Can I
bring along somebody who does not wish to walk?
Certainly, and we will provide full information about places
to visit, shopping etc. |
|
Would I
have to start very early in the morning? Our
walks start at 10:00 in the morning. |
|
Are any
evening activities organised? Dinner
is taken as a group each night except when you are free to
choose your own (with help from Dave & Gill if necessary!). |
|
Is there
a contact telephone number in Spain?
Yes,
all contact information will be provided prior to start
date. |
|
Can I
stay for extra weeks?
Yes,
provided we are given sufficient notice. |
|
Can I pay
in euros/dollars?
Payment is by cheque, bank transfer or debit/credit card. There is a 3% surcharge for debit/credit card payments. We
can certainly arrange for you to pay in euros, dollars, and
most other currencies. |
