Info

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.

NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENT No single supplement IN March March 8 days from £649 March to May, September & October 2017, March 2018 Mallorca 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. PROGRAMME 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. YOUR HOTEL HOTEL BELLA PLAYA HHHH, Cala Ratjada. (seven nights) The hotel, on the edge of the resort, adjoins the Levante Natural Park area. All walks therefore start directly from the hotel. The hotel offers plenty of sporting activities (tennis courts, swimming pool, gymnasium and discounts for the nearby golf course among others) as well as wellfurnished rooms (satellite tv, telephone and full bathroom). 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). Extend your holiday – extra week available in Cala Ratjada. Please refer to the enclosed ‘Dates and Flight Information’ for details of departure dates, prices and flights. www.preferredts.com | 3
