Walking Holidays 2020 to March 2021

Welcome to our collection of Walking Holidays for 2020 through to March 2021.

On a Preferred Travel Services Walking Holiday you get the best of all worlds – recharge the batteries on a holiday, discover so

much about the local culture, fl ora and fauna with an expert guide, enjoy the scenery of Europe’s most picturesque countryside

and beauty spots, and keep fi t at the same time! All this in the company of like-minded travellers from all over the UK.

We believe our walking guides are the best in the business – with customer satisfaction levels approaching 95%! But, while the

walking content of our holidays is very important of course, it is not the whole story. With three guided walks included in each

holiday, there is ample opportunity for you to discover more about the area you are visiting at your own pace and in your own

time.

We have negotiated no single supplements on selected dates in Catalonia, Cyprus, Portugal, Crete, Greece, and on the Costa

Blanca. But make your booking quickly as availability is limited and spaces always sell out very fast.

The majority of our holidays are half-board in the hotels, and with departures from local airports you can also avoid the cost and

hassle of travelling to one of the major hubs. No wonder our unique style attracts such a high level of repeat bookings. Hundreds

of our customers have travelled with us five or more times, and quite a few are well into the teens! Here are some comments from

recent travellers;-

Just returned from your walking holiday in Gouves, Crete. What a fantastic

time we’ve had!!! Fantastic walks with two brilliant guides. Not our fi rst

Andalucia’s Eastern Coast

8 days from £619 February to June & September to November 2020, February & March 2021

Glorious hills and mountains, pretty beaches and coves, the azure waters

of the southern Mediterranean and a wonderful sub-tropical climate – what

else do you need for a walking holiday in the sunshine? Andalucia’s eastern

coast (known as the Costa Tropical) is all this. Your base is the coastal city

of Almunecar where the sierras plunge spectacularly into the sea and you

will find no less than 25 beaches and coves within the boundary of the

municipality. It is a city whose Phoenician, Roman and Moorish past is still

much in evidence. Granada is only 45 miles away and you have an included

visit to the last city to be surrendered by the Moors in 1492.

snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. A

local guide will ensure you make the most of

your visit of the Alhambra and the Generalife

Gardens. (Please note that, due to restrictions

on group visits, the Nasrid Palaces part of the

complex may not be included in the visit.)

As well as visiting the complex, you will also

have plenty of time to see some of the city’s

other attractions such as the cathedral and

the old Moorish quarter of Albaicin, now a

UNESCO World Heritage Site together with

the Alhambra and the Generalife.

The rest of your time is free to enjoy

Almunecar. You can visit the Arab fortress

built on top of a Roman castle or stroll

through the delightful botanical gardens of

Majuelo Park where there is a huge collection

of tropical and subtropical plants, bushes and

trees as well as the remains of the Roman

fish-salting pits. Other attractions include

the exotic bird park and the network of

defensive towers built by the Moors and later

strengthened in the 18th century as defence

against British raids. Or just stroll through the

busy commercial district in the old centre

where you can admire the city’s monuments

– look out for the plaque dedicated to Laurie

Lee who spent time here during and after the

Civil War.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your

transfer to the airport and your

return flight home.

• 7 nights hb in Almuñecar, on the Costa Tropical • 2 coastal walks

• Mountain walk near white-painted Frigiliana

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Malaga and transfer to

your hotel (55 miles) in Almunecar on the

beach east of the city for seven nights half

board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: During your stay

there are three included walks.

Walk 1: Short transfer (4 miles) to the starting

point, just outside town. You walk via gorges,

cliffs and coastal paths along beaches and

coves, passing ancient watchtowers and with

excellent views as you go. Your destination

is the old town of Salobreña, where there is

time to have lunch and explore. The walk is 5

miles, 150m of ascent/descent, approximately

3 hours walking. The terrain is a mix of rough

trails and road walking, steep ground in parts.

Walk 2: 10-mile coach transfer to your start

point at Playa Canuelo, from where you walk

along the old coastal route to La Herradura.

This walk includes a visit to the Watch

Towers of La Caleta and Cerro Gordo en

route, a stop at a beach-side cafe for coffee in

Playa Cantarrijan, one of the most beautiful

beaches on the coast. The walk continues

through the Maro Cliffs Nature Reserve

where you may see Ibex (wild mountain

goats which grow up to 14 stone in weight).

You stop for lunch in La Herradura before

catching a local bus back to Almunecar. From

there you walk for a further hour along the

promenade to your hotel. This walk is 7 miles

in all and the terrain is a mix of rough trails

and road walking. Steep ground in parts.

Ascent/descent is 250m. 4 hours walking.

Walk 3: Coach transfer to Frigiliana, 16

miles away, for your circular walk in the hills

behind this pretty white-painted village.

The walk takes you to the top of Cerro Felix

(540m) with the most stunning views of the

Mediterranean, Nerja and Frigiliana. The route

follows the old mule routes laid down over

centuries in the Sierra Almijara Natural Park,

a protected area of 44,000 hectares home

to ibex, wild boar, vultures and eagles. The

route is all cross country on rough trails with

steep ground in many parts. 8 miles, 400m of

ascent and descent. 4 hours walking.

There are opportunities for self-guided walks

from Almunecar – our representative will be

pleased to advise. There is also an included

full-day excursion to the wonderful city of

Granada. There is surely no more spectacular

setting than Granada whose extraordinary

Alhambra complex is dominated by the

The Sierras of the Orange Blossom Coast

8 days from £719 May, September & October

water as a theme. You walk from the

village up to the castle and then continue

along a path on the hillside above. Along

the way, there are pines, cork oaks,

and – of course – several springs, used

for irrigation. 7.5 miles, 465m of ascent/

descent.

Spain is blessed with a rich variety of great walking country – from the

mountains of Andalucia to the sand-dune cliffs of the Donana, from the

rocky peaks of the Costa Blanca to hilly vineyards of Catalonia. Much less

well-known, though of at least equal merit, are the Sierras of the Orange

Blossom Coast just to the north of Valencia. The coastal area, known as ‘La

Huerta’, the ‘orchard’, is ancient, irrigated farmland which has provided

nearby cities with fruit, vegetables and rice for centuries. Not far inland are

the dramatic landscapes of the Desert of the Palms, the Sierra de Espadan,

and the Sierra de Irta. The resort of Benicassim is the ideal base from

which to explore these lands of white villages, watchtowers and Carmelite

monastic ruins.

Walk 3: The Coastal Sierra de Irta. Coach

transfer (45 minutes) to Santa Magdalena

de Pulpis, from where you walk through

the Sierra to the coast. Starting through a

wooded area, you reach a Templar castle,

which was built on an older Moorish

fortification. Shortly afterwards you

reach the high point of the walk; it’s all

downhill to the coast from here! There

are carob and ancient olive trees as you

descend towards the medieval Badum

watchtower on the coast, near the resort

of Peniscola. 6 miles, 330m ascent, 450m

descent.

You have a little time to explore Peniscola.

The town’s name is a corruption of

‘Peninsula’ and the castle is, indeed,

almost an island. It was built by the

Knights Templar in the late 13th century,

but in the 15th became the home of Papa

Luna, Pope Benedict XIII, the last of the

Avignon Popes of the Great Schism, who

took refuge here after being deposed.

DAY EIGHT: Depart to the airport for your

flight home.

• 7 nights hb in Benicassim • Walks in the Sierra de Irta, near Peniscola,

in the ‘Desert of the Palms’, and in the mountainous Sierra de Espadan

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Valencia or Castellon.

Transfer to your hotel in Benicassim (an

hour from Valencia, 30 minutes from

Castellon), for seven nights’ half-board

accommodation.

Benicassim has a pleasant town centre a

mile inland from the beach, but its pride

and joy are the splendid Modernista villas

towards the northern end of the seaside

avenue. It also has a 3 ½ -mile Via Verde

Greenway linking the resort with Oropesa

del Mar – this is a disused coastal railway

line suitable for walking or cycling and

featuring spectacular sea views. Take a

torch for the tunnel! You will learn about

the influence of the Carmelite order in the

area during your walk in the Desert of the

Palms. In town, you might fall under their

influence yourself at the Carmelitano

distillery where aromatic liqueurs and

sweet Moscatel are produced from old

recipes! There are train and bus services

from Benicassim to surrounding areas,

and neighbouring Castellon has both a

main line station and frequent suburban

services to Valencia.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with

three included walking excursions.

Walk 1: The Desert of the Palms and its

Hermitages. You drive the short distance

inland and up into the Palms Desert

Natural Park, just behind Benicassim.

Rising up to over 2000ft, the park

begins just three miles from the coast

as the crow flies – rather further by the

rather twisty road! It is a land of rich

Mediterranean vegetation and wildlife,

scattered with castles and hermitages,

and offering fantastic views both of the

coast and the precipitous mountains

inland. The circular walk starts at the

monastery where there is a short visit

with entrance fee included. 5 miles, 350m

of ascent/descent.

Walk 2: The Sierra de Espadan, Ain – the

water route. Just under an hour’s drive

inland is the impressive Sierra where you

walk today, near the white-painted village

of Ain, set scenically on its hillside. The

village’s name means a spring in Arabic,

so it is appropriate that your route has

YOUR HOTEL

HOTEL INTUR BONAIRE HHHH,

Benicassim (seven nights)

The hotel is located just 200 yards from

the beach and 1 ½ miles from the town

centre of Benicassim. Set in pleasant

gardens, the hotel has a large outdoor

swimming pool and a small indoor

one. There is a bar and restaurant

serving buffet meals. The comfortable

bedrooms have bath/shower, wc, tv,

air-conditioning, safe, hairdryer, and

along the old Royal Road that takes you

down into the Jalon Valley. This footpath

was the principal connection between

the provincial capitals of Valencia and

Alicante up until the early 20th century.

You then follow an easy footpath through

pinewoods along the southern flanks

with views of the valley below. 6 miles

with ascents of 80m and descents of

525m.

As well as the Rock of Ifach trail in Calpe,

the marina of Les Bassetes. There will also

be an optional full day excursion to the

city of Valencia.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until departure for

the airport and your flight home.

Inland from the resorts of the Costa Blanca lies some of the best walking

country in Spain. The sparsely populated mountains rise up to 3000ft

and are a haven for wildlife including wild cats and genets, badgers and

weasels and even golden eagles. Well maintained tracks along the rocky

peaks and through lush valleys link traditional villages where the old

Valencian lifestyle still prevails. Your holiday base in Calpe has a bit of

everything – beautiful beaches, a lively and picturesque old town, stunning

scenery in the shape of the immense Rock of Ifach and varied wildlife, both

on the Rock and on the saltpans.

• 7 nights hb in Calpe • 3 walks amid the mountainous hinterland

• Optional excursion to Valencia

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Alicante. Transfer to

your hotel for seven nights half board

accommodation. Transfer time one hour,

depending on traffic.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in Calpe

with three included guided walks.

Walk 1: You will have a short coach

transfer for the first included walk on

the unspoilt Serra d’Oltà hills. You follow

a circular route around the peak, mainly

along good forestry tracks, with ascents

of 320m and descents of 380m. The

route affords good views of the coast

and surrounding mountains as it passes

through pinewoods and moorland. You

will make a stop at St Francis’ hermitage.

The walk is just under 5 miles.

Walk 2: 25-mile coach transfer to the

start of your walk in the historic mountain

village of Tàrbena. You start with a visit

to the ruins of a Moorish castle with

panoramic views of the Tárbena Valley

and its system of cultivated terraces.

Descending from the castle, you pass

the site of a long–abandoned village,

and then walk along the old road that

connected Tàrbena with the neighboring

village of Castells de Castells. At Benipla, a

deep valley etched into the mountainside,

you follow an ancient footpath around

the valley to the site of a Bronze Age

Iberian settlement, from where you have

a glimpse of the 300m-deep Pas Tancat

gorge - one of the most impressive

geological features in the area. Your

circuit continues on to the Serral peak

with excellent views over all of the coastal

plain before returning to Tàrbena with

time for refreshments, or even a pub

lunch, before returning to Calpe. Just over

4.6 miles with ascents/descents of 420m.

Walk 3: 50-minute coach transfer to the

start of the walk which will explore the

Jalon Valley, famous for its vineyards,

fine wines and the typical sweet white

Mistela. The route starts from the summit

of the Coll de Rates from where you have

panoramic views of the surrounding

mountains and the Tárbena Valley, the

Sierra de Ferrer and the Jalon Valley with

its whitewashed villages, vineyards and

citrus groves set out in neat rows. The

departure transfer to the airport for your

flight home.

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.

• 7 nights hb in Cala Ratjada, North-East Mallorca • 3 included walks

• Walk directly from the hotel

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

such as the ‘Queen of Pillars’. The caves

Catalonia

8 days from £689 March to May, September & October 2020, March 2021

Mainly known in the UK for the beaches of the Costa Brava and Dorada,

Catalonia is a region with an incredibly rich variety of landscapes. Close

to the coast, the rolling highlands offer lovely views towards the sea and

inland towards the heights of the Sierras, which are rich in wildlife and flora.

Your walks feature both landscapes, as well as the character-filled villages

of the interior.

Your base is Coma-Ruga, a pleasantly unspoilt resort with an excellent

beach in the quieter Penedes area of the ‘Golden Coast’, the Costa Dorada,

between Barcelona and Tarragona. There is an excellent, reasonably priced

rail service to both cities. Apart from the wine-producing counties of the

Penedes, you also walk in the adjacent Alt Camp, the ‘High Country’.

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Reus or Barcelona.

Transfer to your hotel, just under an

hour away. Seven nights half board

accommodation is reserved for you.


three included walking excursions:

Walk 1: Coastal Walk from La Mora to

Torredembarra. After a short coach

transfer you start your walk near the

medieval Mora watchtower. You cross

the beach and the headland before

reaching Tamarit and its castle. You

head along the beach and then a short

way inland, up the river, to explore the

‘witches’ village’ of Altafulla. The coastal

area, the story goes, was plagued by

pirates and smugglers: the word was

put out that the upper part of the

village was populated by witches, so

as to discourage attack! You return

to the wide beach and climb onto

the headland to reach ‘Els Munts’, an

impressive Roman villa (the word

means a farmstead). Nearby there are

other, rather less impressive, holiday

‘villas’. You descend into Torredembarra

explore it if you wish. You return to the

hotel by train.

Walk 2: The Foix Natural Park and

Modernist l’Arboç. Short coach transfer

(20 minutes) to the entry to the Foix

Natural Park Area. You start this

country walk near Penyafort Castle.

Your route takes you along lanes and

paths close to vineyards, with views

of the Sierra del Montmell. The route

undulates gently amid rich vegetation,

approaching Castellet, with its

impressive lakeside castle – now home

to a UNESCO International Biosphere

Research Centre. There are fine views

over the reservoir – watch out for

cormorants and other birdlife. After a

stop, you then follow lanes to l’Arboç

village, home to a lacemaking tradition,

and with impressive modernist

buildings, its ‘Indian Houses’ and

Giralda Tower – a copy of the one in

Seville. 6.9 miles, 100m ascent/descent.

Walk 3: Villages of the Alt Camp & the

Cistercian Route. After a 40-minute

coach transfer to the start of the walk

in the village of Cabra del Camp,

you follow the long-distance GR7

path for 2.3 miles, gradually gaining

175m in altitude. You then join the

‘Cistercian Route’, the long distance

GR175 path linking the three great

Catalan Monasteries. There are great

views as you descend gently towards

Pont d’Armentera (300m over approx.

4 miles), where you have a break for

lunch. The last section of the walk to

the Santes Creus Monastery follows

a broad track overlooking the Gaia

valley – 4 miles, 70m climb. (The total

distance is just over 10 miles, but there

is a possible break point after 7 miles

at Pont d’Armentera from where you

can take a bus or taxi to Santes Creus).

Time permitting, you will be able to

visit the monastery (entrance fee

approx. 3.50 euros). From Santes Creus

you transfer back to your hotel, with

an en-route photo stop at the unusual

modernist Sanctuary at Montferri.

‘Long Beach’ towards Tarragona, arriving

into the centre of the Roman capital of

Northern Spain along the Imperial ‘Via

Augusta’. You have time to see something

of the monuments of this attractive city

before taking the train (25 minutes) back

to the hotel. The walk is 9 miles, with

ascent/descent of 170m.

DAY EIGHT: Departure to the airport for

your flight back home.

Our hotel in Coma-Ruga on the Catalan coast is situated just 15 minutes’ walk

from the local railway station which is on the coastal line between Barcelona and

Tarragona. The area also has three different lines that run inland into countryside

where pretty villages huddle around their church and co-operative wine cellar.

Between them roll hills of olives and vines, interrupted by rocky crags and

seemingly randomly-positioned railway halts. You will travel on two of these

lines – westwards towards the Montsant and Priorat wine areas, and northwards

through Valls to the medieval walled town of Montblanc, at the foot of the Prades

Mountains. On your free days, you have good access by train to the wine and cava

town of Vilafranca del Penedes, to Vilanova I la Geltru (good Railway Museum), to

the modernist resort of Sitges, and of course to Barcelona and Tarragona as well.

three included Trails & Rails walks.

Distances shown do not include the walk

(about a mile) from the hotel to the train

station.

Walk 1: The Montsant Wine Area. You

catch the 0948 train to the little village

station of Marça-Falset (journey just over

an hour). The line is spectacular, especially

after it emerges from the Argentera

tunnel. You walk through Marça village,

where the International Brigades massed

in preparation for the disastrous Battle of

Ebro in 1938, and head into a landscape

of vineyards and olive groves, with a

spectacular craggy backdrop. After a

break in the wine village of Capçanes, you

enter a very different landscape, going

through a wood and climbing a rocky

gully part of the way before descending

back to Marça village. 8 miles, 290m of

ascent/ descent. You return to the coast by

coach (one hour).

Walk 2: Medieval Montblanc and the

Hermitages. Coach transfer to l’Espluga

de Francoli (45 minutes). After walking

through this old wine village you walk

gradually uphill towards the sanctuary

of the Trinity. You continue through a

forested area, on a broad path before

reaching St John’s Hermitage and then

descending steeply towards the town

of Montblanc. 6 miles, 400m of ascent/

descent.

Montblanc is a little jewel: a completely

unspoilt medieval town with fine

ramparts, shady streets and impressive

churches and squares. This is the town

where St George supposedly fought

against the dragon, to save the princess!

From Montblanc you catch the train back

to the coast, changing trains en route at

the unusual triangular platform of the halt

at La Plana-Picamoixons, set high above

the River Francoli.

Walk 3: The Mediterranean Coastal Path

from Altafulla to Roman Tarragona.

The Valleys of Roussillon

8 days from £749 April, June, September & October

This holiday offers excellent walking in the hills of the Roussillon area of

southwest France, sometimes called French Catalonia – it only became

French in the 17th century. There is a great affinity between the ‘French’

and ‘Spanish’ Catalans, and your holiday includes a stay in both French and

Spanish Catalonia. Also included in the holiday is a visit to Dali’s eccentric

theatre-museum in Figueras - a mind-expanding sort of place! – and

some time in the wonderful city of Barcelona. In short, this is a unique

opportunity to walk in, and discover, one of the most fascinating parts of

Europe and to enjoy the sunshine of the Mediterranean at the same time!

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Reus or Barcelona.

On arrival transfer to your coastal hotel for

two nights half board accommodation.

Transfer time 50 minutes.

DAY TWO: Optional half-day excursion

to the Roman city of Tarragona where

you can see the amphitheatre, port and

beach and stroll through the medieval

centre. Under the Romans, Tarragona was

the capital of the Province of Northern

Spain and home to the Emperor

Augustus – a Temple in his honour stood

on the site of the current Cathedral.

DAY THREE: Today you depart for France.

En route you make a stop in Dali’s home

town of Figueras, close to the French

border, and home to his surreal (in the

truest sense!) theatre-museum (entrance

included). The Dali Museum is one of

the most-visited museums in Spain…

and with its luminous-egg façade, it is

not just the interior that seems to want

to stretch your mind! From there it is

just an hour to your hotel in Amélie-les-

Bains, in the spectacular Vallespir valley,

where you have four nights half board

accommodation.

NO SINGLE

SUPPLEMENT

along the left bank of the river. 5 miles

with ascent/descent of 200m.

Walk 2: You travel 40 minutes further up

the Vallespir Valley to the fortified village

snow-capped for much of the year,

with forests and mountain meadows

abounding. You walk up to Vauban’s

impressive Fort Lagarde – excellent views.

There is also time to visit the fortified

church and the village’s ramparts. After

a short transfer to the Spanish border at

Retirada’ - the Refugees’ Way, which

many followed out of Spain during the

Civil War. 4 ½ miles, 800m descent with

100m ascent/descent to the fort.

Walk 3: The Vermilion Coast. You travel

45 minutes to the coast at Banyulssur-Mer,

for a four - hour coastal walk

following the ‘Customs Agent’s Path’.

You make a stop in Port Vendres - home

to Rennie Mackintosh for many years,

before continuing to the artists’ resort

of Collioure, a port since Roman times.

The spectacular Chateau-Royal is worth

a visit, and reproductions of works by

artists who painted in Collioure (Matisse

and Derain in particular) will be found on

the quaysides. 6 miles, 300m of ascent/

descent.

artists and buskers, stalls selling all kinds

of bric-a-brac - an avenue bursting with

life and colour. Or you can visit the weird

and wonderful cathedral of the Sagrada

Familia - Gaudi’s masterpiece.

Menorca

8 days from £779 October

WALKING &

BIRDWATCHING

8 days from £849 May

The island of Menorca may be just 30 miles long and 10 miles across, but it hosts a world

of contrasts. The north is comparatively lush and green, with extensive bays and long

headlands. The south is much rockier and riddled with caves. At the eastern end lies the

island’s capital Mahon, a historic city well worth exploring, whose fine deep-water harbour

led to British and French occupation in the 18th century (in 1756 the British Admiral Byng

was court-martialled and shot for losing it to the French ‘pour encourager les autres’!).

To the west lies Ciutadella, a former island capital, again with impressive city walls and

harbour, but much quieter than the capital. But it is the island’s unspoilt beaches and

coves that may impress you most of all: our resort area of Son Bou is home to one of the

best of them. Menorca was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in October 1993.

• 7 nights hb in Son Bou • 3 included fully-guided walks with an expert

guide

We know that our walking holiday

customers not only enjoy the scenery,

culture and history of the places we

visit, but also have more than a passing

interest in the fauna of the area. This

holiday to Menorca and the holidays

to Portugal and to the Camargue

on the following two pages include

three excellent walks with first-rate

birdwatching opportunities. This is not

high end, specialist twitching and there

is no need to buy expensive equipment;

your regular binoculars will be ok. But

that doesn’t mean you’ll be shortchanged

in terms of avine content!

Our walking guides are also expert

birders who are able at once to cater

to all levels of experience – from the

complete beginner to the accomplished

ornithologist.

PROGRAMME

Walk 1: This walk leaves from the hotel,

visiting the marshy area near Son Bou

and the Son Boter Ravine. Expected

sightings include the distinctively

crowned Hoopoe, the Purple Heron,

Purple Swamphen, the Booted Eagle

and the endangered Egyptian Vulture,

also known as the ‘Pharaoh’s Chicken’. 5.1

miles, ascent/descent 85m.

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Menorca, transfer

to your hotel, half an hour away. Seven

nights half board accommodation is

reserved for you.

Total 10.7 miles, ascent/descents 200m.

WALK 2: The North. After a 30-minute

coach transfer to the Cape of Cavalleria,

the island’s most northerly point, you

358m-high ‘mountain’ to take in the view.

5 miles, 100m of ascent/descent.

Portugal – Walking and Birdwatching

8 days from £889 April & October

in Europe. The Special Protection Area of

Castro Verde is full of birdlife and in the

spring the fields are carpeted with wild

flowers. You pass the grassland and oak

woods in search of the iconic Great and

Little Bustards, Black-bellied Sandgrouse,

Bee-eaters, the first Rollers of the year,

Black-eared Wheatear, Iberian Grey

Shrike and raptors such as the Blackwinged

Kite, Booted and Short-toed

Eagle, Red and Black Kite, Griffon and

Black Vulture and sometimes even young

Golden, Bonelli´s and Spanish Imperial

Eagles. 6.8 miles, ascent/descent 200m.

Depending on the day of operation, lunch

is included in the Castro Verde LPN visitor

centre. Time permitting, a stop will be

made on the return journey in the old

walled town of Mertola on the Guadiana

river. Return to the hotel late afternoon.

Sunshine and fantastic beaches – the Algarve is a great place for a holiday. But the eastern Algarve, with its vast

wetlands which stretch from Faro to close to the border with Spain, is a nature lover’s wonderland. The system

of barrier islands and peninsulas creates a variety of habitats in which wildlife, especially birds, can thrive in the

spring we visit the Alentejo. Inland from the coast, the Alentejo is an entirely different landscape to the Algarve,

but just as enchanting. Great plains dotted with cork oaks stretch to the horizon. Protected areas, where hunting

is banned and only traditional methods of agriculture are practised, have become one of the most important bird

watching centres in Portugal and a perfect environment for the Great Bustard, the heaviest of flying birds. In the

autumn, the Alentejo is replaced by a walk in Portugal’s wild west at Cape St Vincent. Your holiday hotel is on the

outskirts of the historic town of Tavira. The busy market town has no less than thirty-seven churches and a lovely

arched Roman bridge spanning the River Gilau. The pleasant old centre has arcades, shops and cafes.

• 7 nights hb near Tavira • 3 included walking excursions • Walks

accompanied by an expert birdwatcher

Walk 3 (Autumn departures): An early

start for the 82-mile transfer to the start

of today’s walk from Vila do Bispo to

the lighthouse at Cabo São Vincente.

It is the most south-westerly point in

mainland Europe and was considered by

the Romans to be the end of the known

world. Our walk affords stunning views

of the ocean and takes us across the

Vale Santo where, in October, migrating

raptors may often be seen including

Booted, Short-toed and Bonelli’s Eagles,

Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Honeybuzzards

and Black Kites, various falcons

plus Black Storks. The walk is a little under

8 miles and has a few gentle inclines.

Return to the hotel in the late afternoon.

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Faro, transfer to your

hotel, forty minutes away, for seven nights

half board accommodation.



Walk 1: The Ria Formosa Natural Park.

In the morning, transfer to the start of

your walk near Faro (27 miles). The Ria

Formosa nature area is one of the most

important protected areas in the south of

the Iberian Peninsula. You walk towards

Quinta do Lago, passing salt marshes

carved into a labyrinth of tidal flats, salt

ponds, warm water lagoons and channels

which provide shelter to many bird

species, including Flamingos, Spoonbills,

Storks and Hoopoes. The walk takes you

through the area of Ludo, located in the

middle of a complex of salt pans at the

edge of the São Lorenço River, passing

along salt mountains, eucalyptus and

pine tree forests. The walk is level and

about 4 miles. You return to the hotel in

the late afternoon.

Walk 2: 15-mile transfer east to the

wetlands of the Castro Marim Nature

Reserve, on the mouth of the river

Guadiana, the natural border between

this side of Portugal and Spain. From

the main road near the old town of

Castro Marim you do the first part of the

walk next to salt marshes, saltpans and

cultivated fields towards the Visitors'

Centre – a good area for waders, warblers

and even the Little Bustard in the dry flats

of the marsh. 2.2 miles, ascent/descent

30m. Short transfer to the next walk

through the more industrial saltpans of

Cerro do Bufo. Along this dirt road you

on the other side. Expected birds to be

seen on the day are Crested Lark, Blackwinged

Stilt, Flamingo, Spoonbill, Avocet,

Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Kentish Plover,

Dartford Warbler, Stone Curlew. 3.75


Walk 3 (Spring departures): An early

start for the journey to Castro Verde in

the inland province of Alentejo (83 miles).

Alentejo is one of the most beautiful and

sparsely populated areas of Portugal and

holds one of the best-preserved steppes

France – Camargue, Alpilles & Crau

8 days from £899 October

La Camargue, les Alpilles and la Crau – the French ‘golden triangle’ of

biodiversity. The Camargue, with its white horses, black bulls and pink

flamingos, needs little introduction. Just to the north, the jagged, limestone

peaks of the Alpilles mountains are a striking contrast to the vast wetlands

of the Camargue. Sandwiched between the two is la Crau, a unique, ancient

steppe landscape where shepherds have tended their flocks for 6,000 years.

You’ll discover the amazing flora and fauna of all three environments on guided

walks with an expert naturalist. You’ll also enjoy the manmade wonders of the

city of Arles, your holiday base, renowned for its Roman monuments, Van Gogh

scenes, and, of course, Provençal cafés and restaurants!!

Saint Louis and travel 17 miles to la Crau

Nature Reserve. Legend has it that the

countless polished stones covering the

terrain were rained down by Jupiter and

used as missiles by Hercules in battle after

he had used all his arrows. On a 2 ½ mile

flat walk you would hope to see Pin-tailed

Sandgrouse, Little Bustard and Calandra

Lark.

Walk 3: Les Alpilles – Saint Paul-de-

Mausole, Glanum and the Vallon de St

Clerg. Coach transfer to Saint Rémy (19

miles) where you meet your guide. Your

walk to Les Baux de Provence (6½ miles,

250m ascent/ descent) passes Saint Paulde-Mausole

(where van Gogh painted

over one hundred works of genius while

a voluntary patient in the rest home for

just under a year) and continues past the

archaeological site of Glanum. Walking

through the valley of St Clerg, you have

some time at the foot of the two-holed

rock looking out for the Bonelli’s Eagle

and also Sardinian Warblers. Your walk

ends in Les Baux where you take a short

walk on a path overlooking a wonderful

landscape in search of Blue Rock Thrush

at the foot of the imposing ruined citadel.

Transfer back to your hotel in the late

afternoon.

and the Rhône - especially on a starry

night!

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: There are three

included walks during your stay in Arles.

Walk 1: La digue à la mer. Transfer to

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (23 miles). On

Marys (Jacob, Salome and Magdalene)

and their servant Sarah, patron saint

of Gypsies, thousands of whom have

been making the annual pilgrimage to

Stes-Maries for centuries. ‘La digue’ is

the dyke built in 1859 to keep the sea at

bay. This is a long but easy walk which

takes you into the heart of the Camargue

the Park. The Convento dos Capuchos

was carved into the granite in the

16th century and the monks’ austere

existence in the minute cells is referred

to in a poem by Byron. From here it is

a 4.5 mile walk through a pine forest to

the Monserrate Gardens and Palace, a

unique, exotic landscape again featuring

in Byron’s poetry. The massively rich exile,

William Beckford, landscaped the site

in the 1790’s. Sir Francis Cook continued

the work in the gardens and restored

the Palace which is a delightful mix of

Moorish, Romantic, Gothic and even

Indian styles. You return to the start point

via the Musketeers Lake. An easy 63/4-mile

walk full of interest with ascents/descents

of 350m.

DAY EIGHT: Departure for the airport and

your flight home.

• 7 nights hb Monte Estoril, with good access to Lisbon • 3 guided walks in the Sintra-

Cascais Natural Park • Visit to Cabo da Roca, mainland Europe’s most westerly point

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Lisbon. Thirty-minute

transfer to your hotel in Monte Estoril for

seven nights half board accommodation.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: Your hotel is in

Monte Estoril between Estoril and Cascais,

the two main resorts on the Lisbon Coast.

Estoril, with its plush villas and Belle

Époque casino is the more traditional of

the two, while lively Cascais still retains

some of its character as a traditional

fishing town. They are connected by a

seafront promenade and your hotel is a

20-minute walk from the centre of either

resort or you can take the frequent local

bus. There are plenty of shops and cafés

close by as is Monte Estoril train station

from where there is a regular service to

Lisbon. Everywhere you go in Lisbon you

will find evidence of the city’s historic

links with the Age of Discovery from

where intrepid explorers opened up the

sea-trading routes to India, Brazil, China

and Japan in the 15th century. Today,

the city is a mix of old quarters such as

the Alfama, a maze of steep cobbled

streets, the wide avenues leading to the

18th century Rossio square and modern

developments with fine shops.

During your stay you have three guided

walks in the Natural Park, all different

in content and character showing you

varied aspects of the countryside, scenery

and way of life here. There is a short coach

transfer to the start of each walk of about

10 miles.

Walk 1: Sintra Sierra – the Mystic

Mountain. On this walk you go to some

of the Park’s highest points with glorious

views to the sea. You’ll also discover how

the Sintra Sierra has enchanted its visitors

over the centuries. The walk takes you to

the ‘Holy Spirit’ village of Penedo known

for its countless springs and streams.

Lunch is included in a local tavern. After

lunch you complete the walk passing

small stud farms. 9.75 miles with ascents/

descents of 600m.

Walk 2: Land’s End. The walk starts at

Cabo da Roca, Europe’s most westerly

point. You walk along impressive cliffs

hugged by the Atlantic and with a view

of the untouched beauty of wild Ursa

beach, considered by the Michelin Guide

The Guadiana River & Western Andalucia

8 days from £779 April, May & September

Your holiday base is the 4* Playamarina Hotel on Punta del Moral on Isla

Canela in Spain, just over the Portuguese border. There are guided walks

in the Natural Park area of the Donana, the Flecha del Rompido Nature

Reserve and a walk and boat trip along the banks of the Rio Guadiana. In

your free time you can relax and enjoy the surroundings of your hotel or

take an optional excursion to the Rio Tinto mines.

• 7 nights hb in Isla Canela • 3 varied walking excursions • Guadiana

River boat trip

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Faro in Portugal and transfer to

your hotel on Isla Canela in Spain for seven nights half

board accommodation. The transfer takes around an

hour, but you have to put your watches on an hour

when you cross the Guadiana which is the border.

Coastal Western Andalucia is defined by its

magnificent wetlands of marshes, shallow rivers and

sand dunes. The largest is the Donana Natural Park

formed in the delta of the Guadalquivir. Between here

and the Portuguese border, smaller nature reserves

surround the mouths of the Odiel and Piedras rivers

near Huelva. On the border itself where your hotel

is, the Rio Guadiana is the major influence on the

ecosystem and feeds the marshes in both countries.

Local flora and fauna is always a major attraction of

any walk, and, given the abundance of birdlife in the

area, one of the walks majors on the birdlife of the Rio

Piedras.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: In resort with three included

guided walks. There is plenty to do in your free time.

The front of the hotel looks across to the thriving

fishing village and marina of Punta del Moral. You

can have a pleasant stroll around the harbour or take

a little ferry ride across to Isla Cristina. There is also a

short signed-posted walk near the hotel into the Isla

Canela ‘Marismas’ (marshes). The rear of the hotel

backs on to the promenade from where there are

wooden boardwalks across the dunes to the beach

and the sea which provide a heavenly environment for

your morning constitutional. Walking past the inviting

chiringuito (beach bar) might be difficult! There is a

frequent bus service which makes the 5-mile journey

to Ayamonte on the Guadiana river. Ayamonte is a

bustling ‘frontier’ town with a compact old centre,

marina and port. The ‘frontier’ is the river and for under

3 euros you can get a return ferry across to the pretty

town of Vila Real de San Antonio in Portugal. If you can

find the time, a complimentary 1 ½ hour circuit of the

hotel’s extensive spa facilities is included for you!

Walk 1: Alcoutim & the Guadiana River. We head across

the river by coach to Portugal and north to Alcoutim

(33 miles).The picturesque river town of Alcoutim has

a Spanish twin right on the other side, Sanlucar de

Guadiana. The circular walk goes along the river´s

edge using the “Via Algarviana”, a trail that crosses

the whole Algarve and then through reforested pine

wood and Mediterranean oaks. 6 miles and ascent/

descent about 150m. You have time to visit the castle

in Alcoutim and lunch before taking a lazy 3-hour boat

cruise down the beautiful Guadiana river to Ayamonte.

Walk 2: The Rio Piedras and Flecha del Rompido

Nature Reserve. 30-mile transfer to the beginning of

your walk. You will need your binoculars today. You visit

the marshes of El Rompido doing a level walk through

the pinewood, the salt marsh and a fish farm. The

headland where the lighthouse is located offers one

of the most beautiful views of the estuary. This 5-mile

walk ends in the attractive fishing village of El Rompido

where there is plenty of free time for lunch. Or, bring a

packed lunch and take a ferry trip on your own across

to the 10-mile long sandspit and swim in the open

sea. Several protected species live in the dunes of the

singular sandspit in a special ecosystem: among others

the Stone Curlew, Kentish Plover, Dartford Warbler and

the European Chameleon. You return to the hotel by

coach, arriving back at approx. 1630.

Walk 3: Donana & El Rocio. Travel east by coach past

Huelva to the start of your walk in the Natural Park

area of the Donana (67 miles). This walk is through

pinewoods across the dunes to the sea – but dunes

here aren’t quite what you think! They are ancient sand

deposits rising to 100m offering great views of the sea

and the pine forests behind. Just over 4 miles with

ascent/descent of 75m. You then travel to the strange

town of El Rocio (15 miles away), which seems like

something out of the Tex-Mex West, with clapboard

houses, sand covered squares and avenues and rails

to tie your horse to! But this is no tourist movie set - in

fact it is a major pilgrimage site. Your walking guide

will take you on a short walk featuring the major sites

of this fascinating town and there is free time for lunch

here before returning to your hotel.

During your stay in Isla Canela there is also an optional

excursion to the Rio Tinto Mines. There has been

mining in the hills 80 miles north-east of Isla Canela

for over 5000 years. In the museum in the town of Rio

Tinto there is an excellent re-creation of the Roman

mine. There is British influence in many parts of Spain

but nowhere as pronounced than in this remote corner

of Andalucia. The pinnacle of mining in the area began

in 1873 with the arrival of the British Rio Tinto Mining

Company Ltd who paid £3.68 million for the rights

to exploit the disused copper mines. The company

employed up to 20,000 men, laid 300km of rail track,

built houses for employees and management, a

Protestant church and a Social Club which had a

cricket team and introduced football to Spain. The

museum is housed in the company’s hospital and its

offices are now the town hall. Highlight of the tour is

the rail journey through the open cast mines where

you’ll see an amazing ‘Martian’ landscape with the red

(bright red!) Rio Tinto river running through it.

DAY EIGHT: Transfer back to Faro Airport for your flight

home. You can put your watch back an hour after

crossing the river.

Your base in Marina di Pietrasanta, on the Tuscan coast, is quieter than

some of its neighbours but just as attractive. Your holiday includes three

contrasting walking excursions: to the stunningly beautiful ‘Gulf of Poets’,

just across the border in Liguria, haunt of, among others, Byron and

Shelley; along the river to Lucca; and in the Serchio valley in the Apuan

Serchio. Your walk is approx. 7.5 miles to

the station at Poggio along the side of

on the list of the ‘Most beautiful villages

of Italy’: the colourful fishermen’s houses

cluster close to St George’s church. You

castle (worth the climb to get the view

towards Portovenere and the offshore

islands). You will have time to explore

The Italian Riviera & Monte Carlo

8 days from £899 April, June & September

Argentina – the colourful flower-filled

promenade along the beach and the

longest pedestrian promenade on the

Riviera. It was inaugurated by Eva Perón

whose husband had visited Bordighera

in 1947. On Thursday there is a market on

the seafront near the hotel. Your hotel

is handily situated for the station, with

services to Ventimiglia, and to San Remo

and beyond. There are also local bus

services.

There will also be an optional excursion

to the Nervia Valley. You drive through

Camporosso, a pretty village, and stop in

medieval Dolceaqua, dominated by the

Dorias’ Castle. The bridge, over the Nervia

river, was painted by Monet in 1884. You

will visit the ‘Visionarium’ – it will surprise

you, we promise! You continue up the

valley to Pigna, a pretty mountain village.

The holiday base is Bordighera, on the coast 18 miles to the east of Monte

Carlo. The British have enjoyed strolling in and around Bordighera since

the 19th century – so much so it was an enclave where the local Italians

were a minority. Today, Bordighera is an extremely pleasant resort whose

climate and scenery can be enjoyed in much the same as visitors of

yesteryear. It was also a favourite resort of Claude Monet who stayed

ten weeks here and painted thirty-five landscapes in Bordighera and

the neighbouring hills. There are three guided walks including one from

Menton to Monte Carlo.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until you depart

for the airport. Dependent on traffic

conditions and flight timings, there may

be time for some last-minute shopping in

Nice en route.

• 7 nights hb on the Italian Riviera • 3 included walking excursions •

Visits to Monte Carlo and to the Princedom of Seborga

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Nice and transfer

to your hotel (45-minutes) hotel in

out the highlights of the town.

Walk 1: Bordighera to Sasso & the

Princedom of Seborga. For this walk

you start at the hotel on the seafront

in Bordighera, passing through the old

town, before following an old watercourse

through a valley of palm trees to the

pretty hamlet of Sasso. You then take

the old road to the village of Seborga,

a historical curiosity: it is claimed that

following its omission from a series of

treaties, it is not officially part of Italy! 9

miles there and back, with ascent/descent

of 500m. If you wish to walk a shorter

distance, you can catch the local bus back

from Sasso or Seborga to Bordighera.

Walk 2: Taggia to the artists’ village

of Bussana Vecchia. Coach transfer to

Taggia, which claims to be home to

Italy’s longest medieval bridge. You walk

through the old town, and then climb

through smart villas, olive trees and

greenhouses, following the old road and

country paths as far as Old Bussana - one

of those ‘must-see’ places. What was a

completely empty village following the

1887 earthquake has become home to

a Bohemian artist community which

took root in the 1960’s - not without

controversy. 5 miles, 250m ascent.

Walk 3: Monte Carlo or Bust! You travel by

coach to Menton, where you walk up to

Roquebrune village, before descending

towards Monte Carlo. Roquebrune, on

Mont Gros, is a favourite place for hanggliders,

local farmers to get to their vineyards and

lemon groves. The walk takes about 2 ½

hours with an ascent/descent of 300m.

woods for excellent views of the bay.

You continue through the woods to

the most spectacular section of the

walk, overlooking all the Tigullio Gulf

from Sestri Levante (12 miles distant) to

Portofino. The trail goes through a valley

of the ancient olive mills to finally reach

Portofino. Actual walking time is about

3 hours, 4 miles, with 200m of ascent/

descent, but you take all morning, with

a lunch break in the valley of mills and

arrive in Portofino in the early afternoon.

Portofino’s colourful hotchpotch of

fisherman’s houses embraces its harbour

Elba & Tuscany


Napoleon was famously banished to Elba, before he returned to…meet

his Waterloo. An extremely nice place to be exiled to! Like him, you will

travel across to one of Europe’s most enchanting islands where, on two

guided walks, you will wonder why he ever wanted to leave! But leave you

must, too - to enjoy some of the scenic landscapes and beautiful cities in

Tuscany. Visits to ‘spooky’ Volterra and magnificent Siena are included.

From your base in the old city of Prato, there is a third guided walk and

mighty Florence is also easily accessible.

• 4 nights bb Tuscan mainland, 3 nights hb on Elba • 2 guided walks on

Elba and 1 in Tuscany • Walking tour of Prato • Ferry trip to Elba

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Pisa. There is a short

transfer to Livorno, Tuscany’s second city, which

has a Medici Fortress and mercantile ‘Little

Venice’ area, for one nights bed and breakfast

accommodation.

DAY TWO: After breakfast, depart Livorno

and head inland to Volterra, 45 miles away, an

ancient walled town on a hilltop dominating

the rolling Tuscan countryside, with medieval

and Renaissance buildings, Roman theatre,

forum and baths. D.H. Lawrence called Volterra

‘an inland island’, and the popular vampire

novel ‘New Moon’ (part of the Twilight Saga)

was set there – you can see why!

In the afternoon, you leave Volterra and drive to

Piombino, 55 miles away, to board the roll-on,

roll-off ferry to Elba, less than 10 miles offshore –

the crossing takes just under an hour.

You continue the short distance to your

hotel in Procchio for three nights half board

accommodation. Your hotel is in a quiet

location on the beautiful bay of Procchio on the

north coast of the island, seven miles west of

Portoferraio.

DAYS THREE AND FOUR: From Procchio you

Andrea beach (about 30 minutes). After a

break, you walk down to the resort of Marciana

Marina with superb views as you go: the path

winds along the base of the Monte Capanne

through the Mediterranean scrub with

stunning sights on the coast (about 4 hours, 6

miles, 300 m ascent/400m descent). After free

time in Marciana Marina, you return to your

hotel.

Walk 2: Elba’s South: Short coach transfer

to the narrow Stella peninsula, on the south

coast. Your first path starts from the village of

Lacona and winds up 100m through wonderful

Mediterranean vegetation (45 minutes), with

umbrella pines and eucalyptus prominent.

After taking in the stunning views, you retrace

your steps and follow a different path around

the peninsula – a further 3 hours walk. There is

free time in the village of Lacona, after which

there is a coach transfer to the island’s harbour

town of Portoferraio (time to climb to the

fortress if you wish) and thence to Procchio.

Distance walked approx. 5 miles, ascent/

descent 250m.

DAY FIVE: Today you leave Elba and return to

mainland Tuscany. You stop in Siena before

continuing to the walled city of Prato (total

today 150 miles). Siena is best known as the city

of the spectacular bareback Palio Horse race.

The race takes place on the spectacular, shellshaped

Piazza del Campo. St Catherine of Siena

is, with St Francis, one of Italy’s two patron

saints – her head was supposedly smuggled

out of Rome and is stored in the church of St

Dominic: and don’t miss the cathedral, one of

Italy’s most stunning Gothic churches.

You continue to Prato, just 10 miles from

Florence (frequent train services take 25

minutes), historic in its own right, and well

worth taking time to visit, but fortunately

without the great Florentine tourist flows!

Although Prato is an important modern centre

for textiles, the old town within the walls is a

world apart – a lovely place to stroll and enjoy

the real Italy. Your hotel is just a few steps from

the town walls, so it’s easy to explore. Three

nights in Prato on a bed and breakfast basis.

DAYS SIX AND SEVEN: Free in Prato, with an

included half-day walking tour of the old city

and an included walking excursion. Otherwise

you are free in Prato – why not catch the local

train to Florence, or to Pistoia, another attractive

nearby town. Both are just 20 minutes train

ride, or 5 euros away!

Walk 3: You meet your guide at the hotel and

catch the local bus just out of town, to S.Lucia di

Prato and walk through a rocky landscape with

springs and caves. There are views of the river

valley, old villages and woodlands. After your

walk, you catch the bus back to town, for lunch

and a free afternoon. The walk is about 5 miles

with ascents/descents of 350m.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your transfer to

airport and your flight home. Depending on

flight times, there may be time for some last

minute shopping/sightseeing en route.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until you depart for

the airport for your flight home.

This holiday includes a week on Lago Maggiore, Italy’s second largest lake,

which stretches north from Lombardy and up into Switzerland. It lies,

sheltered, on the south side of the Alps, making for a mild climate and

consequent lush vegetation, with Mediterranean and exotic flora, including

azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias. Maggiore is, in our view, much

more scenic than, for example, the much larger Lake Garda to the East.

• 7 nights hb in Stresa • 3 guided walks in the wonderful lakeland

scenery • Train and boat trips to access walks

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Milan, transfer to your

hotel on Lake Maggiore for seven nights

half board accommodation. Transfer

Maggiore with 3 included walking

excursions. Your base is Stresa, half way

up the lake, which was put on the 19thcentury

‘Grand Tour’ map by Napoleon’s

widening of the access road to the

Simplon Pass – illustrious visitors came

to enjoy the lakeside villas and healthgiving

waters. The lakeside promenade

near the hotel allows for a pleasant stroll

to the pretty town centre - around the

main Piazza there is a good range of

shops, bars, and restaurants, and from

the art nouveau ‘imbarcadero’ boats and

steamers traverse the lake on a regular

basis (various types of tourist ticket are

available).

Walk 1: Suna, the ‘Portofino of the Lake’,

and Cavandone. Across the bay lies Suna,

the most evocative part of Verbania. You

travel there by local bus and begin your

walk through the clustered medieval

village houses, linked by seemingly

random arched passageways. You then

follow a mule track past orchards, fine old

villas, a 14th-century tower and a chapel,

from where there are lovely views out

over the lake towards the Borromean

islands and the Alps beyond. Passing

through a chestnut grove, you reach

the hamlet of Cavandone, the ‘Village of

Stone Carvings’, returning to Suna by a

different route. 5 miles, 265m of ascent/

descent.

Walk 2: The Chestnut Route: Belgirate to

Stresa. You catch the train to Belgirate, 10

minutes away, and follow a route through

the woods above the lake, climbing

towards the villages of Falchetto and

Passera before descending into Stresa. 5

miles, 260m of ascent/descent.

Walk 3: Colloro. You take the train to the

village of Premosello Chiovenda where

an old mule-track leads to the Alpine

village of Colloro. Set half-way up the

hill like a balcony over the Ossola Valley,

Colloro is situated in the National Park of

Val Grande, Italy’s largest wilderness. It

is a pretty village with the typical stone

houses where you’ll to see rural life today.

The villagers still have sheep and goats,

the second largest Minoan Palace in Crete,

on a hill and overlooking the olive trees and

greenhouses of the Messara Plain. Your lunchtime

break is at the seaside village of Matala. It still

retains the charm and character of a quiet fishing

village, and the laid-back, hippy lifestyle of the

60’s and 70’s lives on. Here, you can have a dip in

the Libyan Sea and still have time for a leisurely

Cretan lunch at a beach tavern. On the way back

to your hotel you stop in the mountain village of

Spili to see the Kefalovrisi, a series of 25 Venetian

lions heads spraying water from their mouths.

exemplified in Ceausescu’s monster House of the

Republic, now known as the Palace of Parliament. A

guided tour will show you some of 1,100 rooms of the

world’s largest civilian administrative building.

DAY THREE: Travel north through the Southern

Carpathians to Brasov, stopping en route at Bran

Castle. On a rocky outcrop guarding the entrance

to a mountain pass, the castle was built by the

Saxons in the late 14th century to defend Brasov

from invasion by the Turks. Inside you’ll find displays

of rich Western European furniture, which Queen

Marie, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, purchased

in the 1920s when the castle was used as a royal

residence. Continue to Brasov for four nights bed

and breakfast with dinner in a local restaurant this

evening. (126 miles today). Arrival in Brasov will be

late afternoon. Your Tour Director will conduct a

short orientation walk of Brasov before dinner.

DAYS FOUR TO SIX: In Brasov with two included

walks. Brasov is a medieval town with ornate Saxon

churches and townhouses. Local legend has it

that when the Pied Piper lured away the children

from Hamelin they re-emerged near Brasov’s main

square, Pia'a Sfatului, in the heart of the medieval

quarter. It is one of the finest Baroque squares in

Romania. Here you can visit the 15th century Town

Hall, with its quaint Trumpeter’s Tower on top, and

the Lutheran Black Church - the largest Gothic

church between Vienna and Istanbul with a 6-tonne

bell and a huge organ with 4000 pipes. A great

view of the old town is afforded from Mt Tampa

which can be reached by cable car or by a couple of

marked trails.

Walk 1: Viscri. Coach transfer to Mesendorf (57

miles) for the start of the walk. This 8-mile walk

(270m ascent/descent) takes you over the hills and

through the meadows to Viscri. A combination

of bulldozing by the Ceausescu regime and the

exodus of the German-speaking population after

the fall of Communism threatened to wipe out the

centuries-old Saxon rural heritage in Transylvania.

With the help of benefactors, including Prince

Charles, restoration and preservation schemes have

helped save many villages and Viscri is the most

famous example. Barns, cottages, cattle troughs etc.

have been repaired and rustic skills re-introduced.

After the walk you have an included lunch in a local

house, time to explore the village and have a tour

of Viscri’s UNESCO-listed fortified church. Under

continuous threat of marauding Mongols and Turks,

the Saxons not only fortified their towns, but the


villages as well with defensive works centred around

the church.

Walk 2: Transfer by coach to the Balea waterfall.

The transfer takes 2 ¼ hours which is much

longer than we would normally undertake. But

not only is the drive worth it, it’s part of the day’s

experience as it takes you on the northern part of

the Transfagarasan - voted Top Gear’s ‘best road

in the world’. The really serious bends are after the

waterfall, but you see them in all their glory from the

cable car which takes you to Lake Balea at 6,780ft

and the start of the walk to climb up to the main

ridge of the Fagaras Mountain. The narrow path is

mostly uneven, on rocky terrain, with steep sides. On

the ridge, there are panoramic views over the glacial

valleys and lakes wherever you look. You continue

along the ridge and then descend back to the Lake

from the opposite side on similar terrain. (2 ½ miles

with ascent/descent of 480m).

During your stay in Brasov there will also be an

optional half day excursion to the nearby fortified

churches of Harman and Prejmer.

DAY SEVEN: Return to Bucharest. Twenty four miles

south of Brasov is the small mountain resort of

Busteni where you start your third walk.

Walk 3: The Bucegi Mountains (5 miles with

ascent of 150m and descent of 300m). This part of

the Prahova Valley gained popularity as a tourist

destination at the end of the 19th century when

King Carol I established royal residences in the area.

You take the cable car from Busteni to the Babele

station (7,350ft) passing the giant WWI memorial

cross on Mt Caraiman. Babele is famous for its

curiously shaped rock formations. With spectacular

views across the valley, your walk takes you south

to the Cota 2000 station where you take the cable

car down to Sinaia and re-join your coach for the

onward journey to Bucharest (90 miles) for your last

night on a bed and breakfast basis.

DAY EIGHT: Free time until your departure for the

airport and your flight home.

Lower Bavaria - Passau, the Danube & Prague

8 days from £929 September

houses close to the old river port. Return

to Passau by train. This walk is 10 miles,

along the river, almost level. If you want to

do a shorter distance today, take the train

to Wernstein – it’s about half-way - and

join the walk there.

Walk 3: The Danube Gorge. Just across

the Austrian border, 30 miles south of

Passau, the Danube makes two sharp

turns. Through the ages the river has

hollowed out a spectacular 250m-deep

gorge. Your walk takes in spectacular

views and passes through pretty villages.

7 miles, 477m climb.

The rivers of central Europe are the focus of this holiday. The main base,

Passau, stands at the confluence of three rivers. They say you can tell

which river you are beside from the colour of the water – the little River Ilz

is black, the River Inn is green, and the Danube is, of course, blue! Apart

from the impressive river scenery, you will also explore historic towns,

baroque villages, and the wonderful city of Prague.

DAY SEVEN: Today you leave Passau

Hundred Spires’, built (like Rome) on

seven hills, and praised by poets and

philosophers throughout its long history.

From the statue-lined ’Charles Bridge’,

gifted to the city by the Holy Roman

Emperor of the same name, you will have

wonderful views, unspoilt by the progress

of the centuries.

DAY THREE: Today you travel to Passau,

stopping en route in the historic university

city of Regensburg. A remarkably wellpreserved

medieval city whose timeless

Altstadt is a joy to explore. The centre

straddles the Danube and is a UNESCO

World Heritage Site which is dominated

by the twin spires of St Peter’s Cathedral.

You will have time to explore and have

lunch here. You continue to Passau, just

over an hour further on, for four nights

accommodation – the first night halfboard,

and the following three on a bed

and breakfast basis. Total today 240 miles,

mainly motorway.

Passau: at the crossroads of German

Bavaria, Czech Bohemia and the Upper

Austrian region, Passau’s old town offers

picturesque streets, a fine baroque

cathedral, pleasant riverside walks – large

craft navigate the Danube – and a pretty,

mainly pedestrianized central shopping

area, all set below the 13th century

fortress.

DAYS FOUR TO SIX: In Passau, with three

included walking excursions.

Walk 1: The River Ilz. The first walk shows

you the smallest of Passau’s three rivers,

the River Ilz. You will take the local bus

to Hals and walk from there to the

Oberilzmuhle Dam. On the way back

you can choose whether to catch the

bus back (5 ½ miles walk, 120m climb) or

continue back to Passau on foot (a further

2 ½ miles km).

Walk 2: The River Inn, to Scharding. You

follow the river Inn (the green one!) out

of town to the south. The river marks the

German-Austrian border. You pass the

museum displaying his paintings. Malaga

is easily accessible on public transport. Or

you could spend a day at the seaside in

nearby Fuengirola. There may also be an

optional excursion to Rock of Gibraltar.


Malaga airport.

We always try to combine great walking with interesting holiday

destinations which are well worth a visit in their own right and Mijas ticks

all the boxes. Roman, Visigothic and later Moorish, the white painted

centre of Mijas Pueblo still has the look of an old Andalucian village, set

amid the impressive landscapes of the Sierra, which are rich in vegetation:

only a quarter of an hour’s drive from the commercial excesses of the

coast, but light years away in atmosphere. The marble and limestone

Sierra de Mijas is crossed with mountain valleys and has a variety of wellmaintained

paths and routes of varying difficulty.

• 7 nights hb in white-painted Mijas • Cable car ride • 3 included

walking excursions

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Malaga, transfer to

Mijas (30 minutes) and your hotel for


DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in Mijas,

with three included walking excursions.

Walk 1: Mijas and the Sierra. 5 miles,

400m of ascent/descent. Your first walk

starts and finishes at the hotel: the first

section will introduce you to Mijas itself,

with its narrow alleys, broad squares, and

‘Camino del Calvario’, a pilgrims’ path of

the Way of the Cross up to the Hermitage

(built in 1710 as a refuge for Carmelite

monks), on the side of the Sierra from

where there are superb views over the

coast. Your route goes to the Mission

Cross and through an abandoned marble

quarry. The landscape varies as you go,

offering firstly herbs and lavender, and

then eucalyptus and pines. You reenter

Mijas, and head through the town

towards the hotel: perhaps stopping for

refreshment first!

Walk 2: The North side of the Sierra, near

Alhaurin el Grande. Short (20 minutes)

transfer around the edge of the Sierra.

This walk involves beautiful glens and

stunning vistas. The full walk is 7 miles,

675m of ascent/descent, with some

steep sections, but an easier version

encompassing part of the route will also

be available.

Walk 3: Calamorro and the old path to

Mijas. 5 miles, 500m ascent (descent by

cable car). 20-minute transfer to start

your walk near Benalmadena Pueblo, a

pretty town in the hills as opposed to the

sprawling resort of Benalmadena Costa

below. The trail follows a ridge – on a clear

day you can see Gibraltar and Africa! Your

destination is Calamorro, from where the

cable car whisks you 3km back down the

mountain to ‘civilisation’! At the bottom

there will be a further short, level walk

(approx 30 minutes).

There is plenty to do in your free time.

As well as a very pretty old centre where

it is a pleasure to stroll and relax, Mijas

has a folk museum and a newly-opened

Contemporary Arts Centre. The prime

focus of the museum is Picasso’s ceramic

works of which 41 are on display, as well

as some of his paintings and others by

Dali and Miro. Picasso was born just down

the road in Malaga which also has a fine

Greece – The Island of Evia - no single supplement

8 days from £1049 March & November 2020, March 2021

Although only an hour’s drive from Athens, much of the island of Evia is

largely untouched by mass development. On three guided walks, you’ll

discover the varied landscapes with which Evia is blessed. Near your

holiday hotel is the resort of Eretria which has a fine Archaeological

Museum and a ferry service to the mainland. Inland from Eretria is Dirfys,

Evia’s highest mountain and site of the beautiful Xerovouni plateau. In the

green, pastoral north of the island, the village of Prokopi is a popular place

of pilgrimage. Your holiday base is the Hotel Miramare, three miles from

Eretria.

• 7 nights hb in double rooms for sole use near Eretria • Three guided

walks in different parts of Evia • Optional excursion to Delphi

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Athens and transfer

to your hotel near Eretria on Evia for

seven nights’ half-board accommodation.

Transfer time is around 75 minutes.

Although Evia is an island, it is only 45

yards away from the mainland at its

closest point at Chalkida. However, roads

on Evia are few and far between and the

island has largely retained its distinct rural

and remote character, escaping major

tourist development, despite its proximity

to Athens. Your hotel is three miles from

the centre of Eretria, a small port twelve

miles down the coast from Chalkida.

Eretria was a strong military power and

had colonies in Italy and Corfu. Evidence

of its rich past has been revealed by

excavations starting in the 1890’s

including a theatre, temple of Dionysus,

and mosaics. Eretria’s Archaeological

Museum has a fine collection of ancient

pottery and sculpture.

DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: At leisure in resort

with three guided walks.

Walk 1: In and around Eretria. This is an

easy 3-hour walk which takes you to the

top of Kastelli hill, the ancient acropolis of

Eretria, where you can see the remains of

the 4th-century BC city walls. There are

wonderful views down to the harbour,

over the Island of Dreams, and across the

bay to Attica. At the end of the walk you

can walk across the causeway to explore

the Island of Dreams, or take an afternoon

ferry to the mainland.

Walk 2: Scenic drive to the wooded

north of the island (44 miles) through

the Derveni pass towards the village of

Prokopi. Your 6-mile walk (ascent 120m

and descent 350m) leads through the

shady, plane tree-filled Kireas valley and

then through oak and pine forests. After

the walk there is free time to explore

Prokopi. The area is rich in history with

a combination of Greek and British

heritage. Prokopi is home to the church

of St. John the Russian whose relics were

brought here from Turkey during the

1924 population exchange, and the land

around was part of the Noel-Baker estate.

Walk 3: Mount Dirfys and the Xerovouni

Plateau. This semi-circular walk starts and

ends in Steni, a pretty mountain village,

twenty miles from the hotel. Some steep

walking through chestnut woods, fir-tree

forests and up to alpine rock formations is

rewarded by amazing views at every turn.

At the end of the walk, there will be free

time to relax in Steni which has become

a popular year-round activity centre

with plenty of local tavernas. (6 ½ miles,

ascents/descents of 600m).

In your free time, you can relax and enjoy

your surroundings at the hotel. As well

as having pleasant gardens, the hotel

has an underground walkway to the

sea. You can hop on the local bus from

outside the hotel for the short trip to

Eretria. Or maybe go to the port and take

the 20-minute ferry ride for a couple of

euros to Oropos on the mainland. Staying

on the bus for another twenty minutes

brings you to Chalkida, the island’s lively

capital where there are good shops in

the pedestrian area, a Roman aqueduct,

a former mosque dating back to the 15th

century, and an impressive castle. Going

in the other direction on the bus from

the hotel three miles down the coast, you

can admire the Byzantine churches in the

town of Amarynthos.

There will also be optional excursions on

offer (subject to minimum numbers as

always) including a full-day to Delphi, and

another to the capital, Chalkida, with its

unique tidal phenomenon.

DAY 8: Departure transfer to the airport

for your flight home.

YOUR HOTEL

HOTEL MIRAMARE HHHH, (seven

nights)

A family-owned hotel on the coast

three miles from Eretria surrounded

by groves and orchards. The hotel has

extensive, lush gardens, two outdoor

pools (not heated), restaurant with

panoramic view over the sea, tennis

court, basketball court, and a wellequipped

fitness room. Standard

bedrooms are in one of three annexes

and have balcony or terrace, satellite

tv, free wifi, safe, fridge, bath/shower,

and hairdryer. Deluxe bedrooms in

the main building or in the new Green

annexe are available at a supplement.

The picturesque bay in front is only

130 metres away and has easy access

via an underground passage. The local

bus service stops in front of the hotel

entrance and goes to Eretria (3miles)

and then on to Chalkida (12 miles).

There is also an inexpensive taxi service

available from the hotel. The frequent

ferry service from Eretria to Oropos on

the mainland operates several times

daily. (www.miramare-eretria.gr)






Cyprus - Akamas Peninsula & the Troodos Mountains

8 days from £819 February, March & November 2020, February & March 2021

NO SINGLE

SUPPLEMENT

FEB & NOV ’20

& FEB ‘21

Cyprus is an ancient land of mystery, legend, beauty and love. Aphrodite

rose from the sea foam near your resort of Paphos, and took pity on

Pygmalion by bringing to life his statue of the beautiful Galatea - their son

was Paphos. At the crossroads of three continents, the area has a long

history of invasions, and but for its mountain ranges, whose winter snows

irrigate the island, Cyprus would be desert instead of the lush, green

landscapes you now find. Paphos was the capital for 600 years and its

visible archaeological legacy has led to the whole town being placed on

UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

• 7 nights hb in an excellent hotel in Paphos • Three included walking

excursions • No single supplement on some dates

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Fly direct to Paphos. Transfer to

your hotel in Kato Paphos (20 minutes) for


DAYS TWO TO SEVEN: Paphos

orientation walk and three included

walking excursions, private transportation

included. Two of the walks highlight the

Akamas peninsula – an area of rocky

coves, sandy bays on the coast and

picturesque villages inland.

Walk 1: the Akamas Peninsula. After a

45-minute northwards coach transfer into

the nature reserve area of the Akamas

peninsula, you follow the trail that Adonis

used on his way to meet Aphrodite (or

so the locals say!). The area is rich in

flora, including species found only here.

The walk takes 3.5 hours (5 miles), with

ascents/descents of 250m.

Walk 2: Panayia and the Vouni Trail.

Today’s walk starts at the village of

Panayia, one hour’s drive from Paphos.

The path goes through vineyards and

amid unusual limestone rock formations.

Your walk takes about 3 hours (4.5

miles), with ascents/descents of 300m.

Before returning to Paphos, you will visit

Chrysorogiatissa monastery, 3000ft up

(the trail’s name, ‘Vouni’ means a ‘peak’),

and founded in 1152.

Walk 3: the Troodos Mountains, 1 ½

hours drive away. These impressive,

often snow-capped, mountains are the

backbone of Cyprus - the highest peak,

Mount Olympus, rises to 6000ft. This is a

5-mile trail around the mountain starting

and finishing on the road to Chionistra,

crossing ski runs and with stunning views

on all sides. There are signs indicating

particular flora species on the slopes and

you will see black pines and junipers of

the region growing out of the barren

rocks. 3 hours, with little ascent or

descent. Apart from your three included

walking excursions, there is an optional

excursion to the capital and Green Line in

Nicosia.

Tenerife

8 days from £799 February, March & November 2020, February & March 2021

There are a host of reasons for visiting Tenerife - the largest of the Canaries,

which the classicists rightly called ‘the Fortunate Isles’. Fortunate, too, in

having such a wonderful winter and spring climate for visitors from the

freezing north! An island of contrasts - miles of sun-drenched coastline

surround Spain’s highest mountain, Mount Teide. Often snow-capped, the

desolate volcanic slopes of Teide are a world away from the tropical vegetation

of the banana plantations and the botanic gardens below. You stay in the north

part of the island where the traditional villages, the UNESCO-listed university

town of La Laguna and historic Puerto de la Cruz are totally different in feel to

the commercialised resorts of the south.

• 7 nights hb on Tenerife • 3 walking excursions in very different areas

of the island

PROGRAMME

DAY ONE: Flight to Tenerife Sur Reina

Sofia Airport. Transfer to your hotel (about

one hour away) for seven nights half



three included walking excursions in

different parts of the island. Transfer times

to the start of each walk is about one

hour. On Walk 1 there is normally a stop

at the Teide National Park Visitor's Centre

before the walk.

Walk 1: Mount Teide. A full day excursion

onto Mount Teide, with 3-4 hours walking

on the mountain slopes (breathtaking

views), and time to sightsee as well. A

reasonably level route will be chosen by

your walking guides, according to the

weather on the day. Total distance 5-6

miles, reasonably level but at an altitude

of around 8000ft.

Walk 2: Anaga. Your second excursion is

to the north-east of the island, for a walk

in the Rural Park of Anaga, an area of

volcanic cliffs and Laurisilva forests rich

in wildlife. Total distance 4.4 miles with

climbs of approx 300m.

Walk 3: Teno. The final included excursion

is a full day trip to the extreme north-west

of the island, where the Teno area lies,

by-passed by the traffic and seemingly

by time itself. You walk in the hills above

Garachico, whose harbour was filled in

by a lava flow in the 18th century. This is a

full day excursion, with 3-4 hours walking

and time for other exploring, too. Total

distance 5 miles with climbs of approx

350m.

Apart from your three included

excursions, you are free to relax and enjoy

the extensive facilities of your hotel, or to

explore Tenerife, either independently or

on an optional excursion, as you prefer.

GENERAL INFORMATION – WALKING HOLIDAYS

HOTELS: Accommodation has been reserved in the hotels mentioned, but we do reserve the right to

substitute similar hotels should circumstances dictate. Please note that at the discretion of the hotels

(and their view of the local climate), lido and pool areas, as well as air-conditioning, may not be operational,

and hotels’ charging policies for access to spas, safety deposits, wifi, etc are always subject

to change. Half-board normally includes evening dinner and breakfast. We make group bookings in

hotels. Unless a hotel insists on it, we do not reserve tables for Preferred Travel groups at dinner.

On the coast in Spain and Portugal, dinner is normally buffet-style with flexible seating and timing. In

some hotels there will be a set menu at a fixed time for the group at dinner with no or limited choice

and fixed seating. Where there is a limited choice, you may be asked to pre-order courses at breakfast

time for that evening. This format is quite common in Italy and in city hotels in Spain, so please make

sure we are aware of any special dietary requirements. Where house wine is included with dinner, this

will be limited in colour, type and quantity by the hotel! Hotel check-in times are usually between 2pm

and 3pm, check-out times between 10am and 12 noon on the day of departure. However, times do

vary. Therefore, if you check-in immediately after a night flight this would normally count as one night’s

accommodation. Similarly if your return flight is at night you will normally be required to vacate your

room in the morning prior to leaving for the airport later on. Day rooms are subject to availability/cost

and should be arranged locally with the hotel. Please refer to Clause 19 of our Booking Conditions for

further information regarding hotels.

ITINERARIES: The order of visits described may be subject to change. Where a train or boat journey

features in a programme the journey will be made by road if, for any reason, the train or boat is not

operating. Optional excursions operate at extra cost and are subject to minimum numbers. Changes

may be made to the particulars in this brochure at any time.

WALKS:WALKING GROUPS AND INSURANCE: The walks are designed for regular walkers of average

fitness. If you wish to walk further, our guides will assist you with information on other walking

possibilities in the area. If you wish to stick to shorter distances, some of our walks can be abridged to

suit – though in some instances you may have to pay for a taxi back to the hotel from a convenient point!

For your comfort and security, and in recognition of the fact that paths in places may be stony or wet,

it is essential that you should have appropriate footwear: either strong walking shoes or boots (new

boots should be broken in) which give ankle support and have soles with a good grip – walking poles

(collapsible to fit inside hold luggage), if you have them, take the strain off the joints, and are handy if not

essential. A light waterproof coat is advisable, as is sun cream and a hat; binoculars and camera are an

extremely good idea, and drinking water is essential.

The details of the walks are believed correct at the time of printing. However, they may be amended

due to local conditions or substituted with walks of similar content and quality. Similarly the order of

operation of the walks is subject to confirmation. Distances and elevations should be taken as indicative

only and may not agree with local signage nor with GPS systems’ readings, which, as we have found

out, do not always agree with each other! Please bear in mind that while walks are on marked paths,

farm tracks and tarmac roads, the different nature of terrain, vegetation and local standards in the resort

areas means that these are often very different to those you would find in the UK. Vive la difference!

We normally provide a walking guide/assistant guide for every 15-20 walkers. This ratio can change

slightly for operational reasons (e.g. terrain, local regulations, guide availability). When required, transport

to the start point is included. If we use a larger coach to get more than one walking group to a start

point, you may be asked to delay starting out so as to keep walking groups separate. All holidays need

minimum numbers to operate – see Clause 6 (a) of our Booking Conditions.

Please check with your insurer if in doubt. Travel insurance arranged with Travel & General (see the

Travel Insurance section of the Dates, Prices and Flight Information booklet) covers you for group walks

up to an altitude of 3000m (approx 9850ft). The highest altitude reached on any of our group walks is

2550m (8415ft). If you decide to walk separately from our group, or if you have not taken out Travel &

General insurance please ensure your cover is valid, particularly if you are going above 2000m/6560ft.

EXTENDED STAYS: Where it is possible to extend your holiday and have an extra week, all excursions

are planned to take place during the first week. Please note that in some cases during the second week

an emergency contact number will be given in lieu of the services of a local representative. Naturally,

your return airport transfer will be arranged for you.

PRICES: These are subject to change - please see Clause 3 of our Booking Conditions. However,

once we have confirmed your booking, your holiday price is guaranteed. Please note that optional

excursions, porterage, drinks with main meals and travel insurance are not normally included in

the holiday price. In some places tourist taxes are being introduced, which are paid in resort by hotel

guests. These are not included in the holiday price and will have to be paid by you directly to the hotel.

We shall let you know if such taxes apply when you book or as soon as we become aware if they are

introduced after you booked.

PAYMENTS BY COMMERCIAL CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD: Please note that all payments by commercial

credit or debit card are subject to a charge of 2% of the payment being made.

CUSTOMER CARE: Our customers can have complete confidence when booking an ATOL protected

holiday with a tour operator which cares about its customers. Our customers were full of praise for the

way our staff looked after them during the ash cloud crisis in 2010 and during various Air Traffic Control

strikes since. More recently, when Monarch Airlines and Thomas Cook collapsed, none of our customers

lost their holiday, and, those already abroad flew home without any delay. If your homeward flight

is disrupted, we will get you home as soon as possible. If the airline has not made arrangements for

accommodation and meals we shall do so. Please note that in order to offer this service we rely on your

cooperation in dealing with claims for reimbursement from the airline concerned. Please see clause 18

for our general policy on flight cancellations and delays.

FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENTS: Obviously the departure dates of our holidays are set and as advertised.

Occasionally extra dates will be added due to demand – please look at our website www.preferredts.com

or call us. If you wish to combine two holidays into a longer break, or e.g. stay behind in

your destination country to visit friends, we will try to assist and arrange special flight arrangements.

Please note that for bookings including special flight arrangements there will be an administration fee of

£15 per person, and the deposit payment (non-refundable) will be £250 per person.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND TRAVEL ADVICE: There are no compulsory health requirements for

the countries we visit. For up to date UK government health and travel advice please visit www.dh.gov.

uk/ travellers (020 7210 4850) or check with your GP, practice nurse or travel health clinic for advice. The

Foreign & Commonwealth Office provides up-to-date travel advice at www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo

EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD (EHIC):The EHIC replaced the old E111 in 2006. Your EHIC

lets you get state healthcare at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. It will cover you for treatment that

is needed to allow you to continue your stay until your planned return. The card is not an alternative to

travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs such as mountain rescue in

ski resorts, being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property. Therefore, it is important to have both

an EHIC and a valid private travel insurance policy. Most insurers now insist you hold an EHIC. The

EHIC is valid in all European Economic Area (EEA) countries. The EEA is a free trade zone between

countries of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. The regulations on access to

healthcare in the EEA also apply in Switzerland. Applying for an EHIC is free of charge. You can apply

online at www.ehic.org.uk or by phoning the automated service on 0300 3301350. This is information is

subject to change after Brexit.

PASSPORTS/VISAS: You must have a Full British passport for travel to/from the UK. Currently, for visits

to countries in the EU, passports must be valid on the day of return, but you should give yourself some

leeway. Furthermore, requirements for countries outside the EU vary so we strongly suggest you have 6

months validity from the date of your return to cover all eventualities – including any changes in passport

validity requirements for travel in the EU following a no-deal Brexit. There are no visa requirements

for UK citizens. Nationals of other countries should consult the appropriate authorities. In case your

passport is lost or stolen overseas, a photocopy of the photograph page will be of help in obtaining an

emergency passport from the Consulate for return travel. Make sure you are insured for the costs of obtaining

an emergency passport. These will be the application fees but may also include very expensive

transport costs getting to/from the Consulate.

YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION: All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially

protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate.

Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is

listed on it. Please see Clause 14 of our booking conditions for further information or for more information

about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLcertificate.

PRIVACY POLICY SUMMARY: Please be assured that we have measures in place to protect the

Personal Information we collect from you. Personal Information includes your name, address, email

address, telephone number, date of birth, passport details, and any other information you provide, for

example, a medical condition or dietary requirement. We collect this information in order to provide

the travel arrangements you have booked. Where necessary, this information will be passed on to the

relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements including, but not limited to, airlines, hotels, land and

sea transport companies, our Tour Directors and Resort Representatives. If you have taken out travel

insurance, we shall pass on your Personal Information to the relevant insurance company to assist with

any claim. We shall only transfer the data we collect from you outside the European Economic Area if

your travel arrangements include such a destination. Your Personal Information will also be provided

to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. We

shall retain your Personal Information in order to deal with post-travel queries for the minimum periods

required by law. We may also send you from time to time details of our products and services. If you do

not want to receive such details in future, tick the box on the booking form, or just let us know. We shall

ABOUT US:

Preferred Travel Services is an award winning,

independently owned, friendly company whose

two directors share more than 70 years of travel

industry experience and all this is put to use in

designing holidays which have just the right

balance of included visits and free time to

explore on your own. In 2020 we celebrate our

20th birthday. Whichever holiday you choose,

you’ll still have time to visit cities and places of

interest in some of Europe’s most picturesque

countryside and beauty spots in the company

of like-minded travellers from all over the UK.

EXTEND YOUR HOLIDAY: Holidays are of 7 nights duration,

but if you would like to spend longer in warmer climes there

is the option of an extra week’s relaxation in Menorca and

Mallorca, Crete, Cyprus, Andalucia, Catalonia, the Algarve

and Tenerife.

FLY DIRECT FROM LOCAL AIRPORTS: We offer holidays

flying from over 20 airports across the UK – the vast majority

are direct flights. More and more of our customers are using

our range of regional flights to meet up with friends and

relatives from other parts of the UK on our holidays – if you

would like us to send a brochure to a friend, just ask... or

they can download one at www.preferredts.com.

GROUPS: Group discounts are available from as few as

10 paying passengers. Larger groups can have exclusive

departures with bespoke programmes to any destination

in this Collection or elsewhere. Please contact us on

0116 279 3929 or e-mail groups@preferredts.com for

further details.

SIGN UP online for our occasional e-mailshots – just

select e-mail sign up at www.preferredts.com and add

your e-mail address!

READING LIST: Our website www.preferredts.com has a

reading list, mostly light reading, suggested by previous

travellers and related to the destinations we offer. Please

e-mail tony@preferredts.com if there is something you

think we should add to it.

PTS PHOTO COMPETITION: Our photo competition

introduced in 2017 continues to be a great success with

hundreds of high-quality entries, many of which have been

posted on our website. Our fifth winner of the competition

in July 2019 was Janice Adams for her spectacular shot of

Praia de Marinha on the Algarve. Thanks to everybody who

entered and special thanks to Carole Hyde for her image of

the dunes in the Donana Park which is shown above.

Walking Holidays Collection 2020 to March 2021

Dates, Prices and Flight Information

0116 279 3929

www.preferredts.com

Holiday Prices and Insurance

Prices shown are per person sharing a twin or double-bedded room. Supplements, including single room supplements, are shown for each holiday. The deposit

for each holiday is £125 per person (please refer to How to Book). Insurance premiums are £59.95 per person under the age of 80 at the date of departure for

holidays up to 8 days and £79.95 for two weeks.

Flights

We list all the airports available for each holiday. So if you have friends in other parts of the country who want to join you, you can check which is the best airport

for them. We are even able to arrange for a friend travelling from a different airport to share a twin/double room with you for the holiday! Just ask us. Please note

that while all airports are listed, by no means all of them will be used on the same date. Transfers to your hotel on arrival will be arranged by coach, minivan or

car as appropriate. In the tables which follow for each holiday, ‘Dep’ times are departure times from the UK airport and ‘Rtn’ times are when you land back.

Flight Details, In-flight meals, and Baggage Allowances

All flight details are provisional and subject to confirmation when known. Please refer to Clause 6 of the Booking Conditions. Our brochures are printed some

time in advance and, in some cases, before the airline has published its timetable. In these cases timings shown are based on experience of previous years.

While latest known flight timings will be given at the time of booking these can change. Sometimes an airline will add a new route: when possible, we may add

this to our programme. Sometimes routes are withdrawn, in which case we will adjust our programme and offer alternatives if possible. In-flight meals are not

included. One suitcase per person (usually 20kgs) to be checked-in and carried in the hold is included in the holiday price. Cabin bag allowances in terms of

size, weight and number vary from airline to airline. Ryanair’s size limit for a cabin bag (40x20x25cm) is smaller than other airlines. It is possible to take on a

larger cabin bag as well as the smaller one by purchasing priority boarding. Costs currently (December 2019) start at £12 per person return and are subject to

availability. You should tell us at the time of booking if you want to pay for this option. Precise information on baggage allowances will be sent with your travel

documents 10-14 days before departure along with your boarding passes for those airlines where we have checked you in on-line.

Seating Preferences on Flights (including seats together)

Specific seats, for example aisle or window seats, can be pre-booked at an extra cost. Otherwise, airlines will choose seats for you. While most airlines allocate

seats together on the same booking free of charge, this is not guaranteed, and you could be seated away from your travelling companion(s). Therefore, if you

have any seating preferences (including guaranteed seats together), it is important that you tell us when you book, and, in any event, at least four weeks before

your departure date. We shall tell you if your preferences can be accommodated and at what extra cost, if any. Please note that any requests received within four

weeks of your departure date may not be possible, even with payment of an extra cost.

is added or substituted at a later date). References to

‘brochure’ in these conditions shall also include references

to our website.

1.Your contract – when you make a booking you

guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do

accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking

conditions. A contract will exist as soon as we send our

confirmation invoice. This contract is made on the terms of

these booking conditions, which are governed by English

Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may

however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or

Northern Ireland if you wish to do so.

2. Payment – in order to confirm your holiday, the

appropriate deposit must be paid at the time of booking.

The balance of the holiday cost must be received by the

Balance Due Date which will be shown on our confirmation

invoice. The Balance Due Date is 8 weeks before departure

for Group A Holidays (holidays by air), 6 weeks before

departure for Group B Holidays (holidays with no flight of

more than 4 days duration) and 4 weeks before departure

for Group C Holidays (holidays with no flight of 4 days or

less). If you are booking after that date full payment must

accompany your booking form. Reminders are not sent. If

we do not receive payments due in full, on time, we shall

cancel your travel arrangements and retain your deposit.

3. Your holiday price – we reserve the right to change

the prices of any of our holidays at any time. You will be

advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish

to book before your contract is confirmed. The price we

charge for your travel arrangements is fully guaranteed and

will not be subject to any surcharges after your contract is

confirmed. Please note that items such as local city taxes

at your holiday destination are not included in our prices

and will be payable by you in situ.

4. Changes by you – if, after our confirmation invoice has

been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements

in any way, for example your chosen departure date or

accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these

changes but it may not always be possible. Any request

for changes to be made must be in writing from the

person who made the booking. You will be asked to pay an

administration charge of £15 per person, and any further

cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware

that these costs could increase the closer to the departure

date that changes are made and you should contact us as

soon as possible. You can transfer your booking to another

person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this

booking, by giving us notice in writing as soon as possible

and no later than 7 days before departure. Both you and the

new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur

in making the transfer.

Note: Certain travel arrangements (eg. Air Tickets) may not

be changeable after a reservation has been made and any

alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to

100% of that part of the arrangements.

5. Cancellation by you – should you or a member of

your party need to cancel the holiday once it has been

confirmed, you must immediately advise us in writing.

Notice of cancellation is only effective when it is received

in writing at our offices (see Date Received in the table

below). Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel

arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges in

the table (shown as loss of deposit up to the Balance Due

Date and percentages of the total holiday cost thereafter).

Insurance premiums are non refundable.

More than 56 days loss of deposit loss of deposit loss of deposit

Please see clause 2 for definitions of Group A, B and C. The

Date Received is the number of days before the departure

date of the holiday we receive your cancellation in writing.

Should one of the members of your party cancel who is

sharing a double/twin room, the relevant single room

supplement will become payable and added to your holiday

cost.

6(a) If we cancel your holiday – we reserve the right to

cancel your booking. We will not cancel after the Balance

Due Date has passed (see clause 2) except for unavoidable

and extraordinary circumstances, or failure by you to pay

the final balance, or because the minimum number (usually

twenty) required for the package to go ahead hasn’t been

reached. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances

means a situation beyond our control, the consequences

of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable

measures had been taken. If your holiday is cancelled

you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept

an alternative holiday of comparable standard from us if

we offer one (we will refund any price difference if the

alternative is of a lower value). In the event a refund is

paid to you, we will provide a full refund of your travel

insurance premiums if you paid them to us and can show

that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy and pay

compensation as shown in the table below except where

the cancellation is due to unavoidable and extraordinary

circumstances (see definition above).

6(b) If we make changes to your holiday – it is a term

of your booking that we are able to make changes to any

aspect of your booking. If the change is insignificant, we

will ensure that you are notified about it. Examples of

insignificant changes include alteration of your outward/

return flights which reduces your holiday duration by

less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of

accommodation to another of the same or higher star

rating, changes of airline, a change of overseas airport. If

we alter significantly any of the main characteristics of the

travel services that make up your package we will give you

the choice of accepting the change, receiving a refund, or,

if one is offered, switching to an alternative holiday. If you

choose to accept a refund we shall pay compensation as

shown in the table below except where the cancellation is

due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see

definition above).

The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from

claiming more if you are entitled to do so.

Costs incurred by you. If we make a significant change to or

cancel your travel arrangements for any reason, we will not

reimburse any expenses, costs or losses you incur relating

to payments to third parties, including, but not limited to,

insurance premiums, car parking, hotel accommodation,

currency, connecting flights, or other travel arrangements

such as kennelling fees etc.

7. Our Liability to you – you must inform us without undue

delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of

the travel services included in this package. If any of the

travel services included in your package are not performed

in accordance with the contract, or are improperly

performed, by us or the travel service suppliers, and this

has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements,

you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or

compensation or both. We will not be liable where any

failure to perform or improper performance of the travel

services is due to: you or another member of your party;

or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel

services in the package; or unavoidable and extraordinary

circumstances, which means a situation beyond our

control, the consequences of which could not have been

avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

Our liability in cases involving, luggage, personal property,

and money is limited to the excess for such items on your

travel insurance policy.

Our liability, except in cases involving, luggage, personal

property, money, death, injury or illness, shall be limited

to a maximum of twice the basic cost of your travel

arrangements excluding, supplements, extras, extensions

and insurance. Our liability will also be limited in accordance

with and/or in an identical manner to a) the contractual

terms of the companies that provide the travel services

that make up your package. These terms are incorporated

into this booking; and b) any relevant international convention,

for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air,

the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne

Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention

in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the

amount of and conditions under which compensation can be

claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage

and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit

of any limitation of the extent of or the conditions under which

compensation is to be paid under these or any conventions. You

can ask us for copies of the travel service contractual terms, or

the international conventions.

Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some

circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your

airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to

flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available

from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not

automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from

us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out

in these booking conditions. If any payments to you are due from

us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service

provider will be deducted.

It is a condition of our acceptance of liability that you notify us

and our supplier(s) in strict accordance with the terms of clause

9 of any claim made by you or any member of your party. Any

person(s) to whom any price reduction or compensation is

made (and their parent or guardian if that person is under 18

years of age) must assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights

they may have to pursue any third party in connection with the

claim. In all circumstances you must provide us and our insurers

with all assistance we may reasonably require.

Clause 7 continued

This clause 7 is intended to set out our obligations to you

as an ‘organiser’ in the Package Travel and Linked Travel

Arrangements Regulations 2018. Please note, we regret we

cannot make any payment to you or any member of your party if

the person concerned is not entitled to one from us under these

Regulations.

8. Additional assistance – if you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday

and ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in

particular by providing information on health services, local

authorities and consular assistance; and helping you to find

alternative arrangements and any necessary phone calls/emails.

You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.

9. Complaints and problems – if you have a complaint about

any of the services included in your holiday, you must inform us,

our resort representative, and the relevant supplier (e.g. hotelier)

without undue delay who will endeavour to put things right.

(Please note we deal with all eventual complaints by post after

your return and will not engage in email conservations while you

are away unless the matter is urgent and capable of immediate

remedy on the spot.)

If it is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28

days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services

Department giving your booking reference and all other relevant

information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point.

If you fail to follow the requirement to report your complaint

in resort we will have been deprived of the opportunity to

investigate and rectify it and this may affect your rights under

this booking.

We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W3692. We

are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by

ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme

for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered

Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint,

go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further

information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving

disputes can be found on www.abta.com. You can also access

the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution

platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR

platform is a means of notifying us of your complaint; it will not

determine how your complaint should be resolved.

10. Behaviour – when you book with us, you accept

responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any

member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or

loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation

owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will

be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs)

subsequently made against us as a result of your actions. We

expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in

our opinion or in the opinion of any other person in authority,

you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to

cause or be likely to cause danger, annoyance or distress to any

third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior

notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In

this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave

the accommodation or other service. We will have no further

responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel

arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any

expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.

11. Special requests – if you have a request, you must advise

us at time of booking and clearly note it on your booking form.

Although we will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the

relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will

be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach

of contract. We cannot accept any booking which is specified to

be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such

bookings will be treated as standard bookings subject to these

provisions.

12. Mobility and medical problems – if you or a member of

your party has a medical problem/disability which may affect

your holiday, please tell us before you book so that we can

advise accordingly. You must give us full details in writing at

the time of booking. Please note that to get the best out of your

visit to certain places may involve walking on inclines, through

cobbled streets etc. If we feel unable to accommodate the needs

of the person concerned, or reasonably feel that the enjoyment

of other travellers may be prejudiced, we reserve the right to

decline/cancel their reservation. We regret we cannot accept

any bookings from wheelchair users unless travelling with a

companion able and willing to take responsibility when boarding

coaches, trains etc. and on excursions. If this proves not to be

the case at the start of or during your holiday, we shall assist

in making arrangements for your immediate return to the UK at

your own cost and we shall not pay compensation or make any

refund in respect holiday curtailment. NB Our representatives,

guides, coach drivers etc. are not permitted to offer physical

assistance.

13. Passports, visas and health requirements. Your specific

passport and visa requirements, and other immigration

requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm

these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We

do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because

you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration

requirements (including any procedures required by airlines at

check-in). Information on health is contained in a leaflet (Health

Advice for Travellers) available from local Department of Health

offices and most Post Offices. The Foreign & Commonwealth

Travel Advice Unit may have issued information about your

holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on

the internet. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

14. Your Financial Protection – we provide full financial

protection for our package holidays, by way of our Air Travel

Organiser’s Licence number 5537, issued by the Civil Aviation

Authority, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK,

telephone 0333 103 6350, email claims@caa.co.uk. When you

buy an ATOL protected flight inclusive package from us you

will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially

protected, where you can get information on what this means

for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide

you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable

alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for

reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide

you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative

(at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those

circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those

obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to

be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL

holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not

be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case

you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or

your credit card issuer where applicable). If we are unable to

provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an

alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency,

the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or

confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that

in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely

to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have

arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services,

including any claim against us (or your credit card issuer where

applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be reassigned

to another body, if that other body has paid sums you

have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays that

do not include a flight by way of a bond held by ABTA – The

Travel Association 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ www.abta.

co.uk.

15. Brochure Accuracy – the information and prices shown

in this brochure may have changed by the time you come to

book. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the

brochure and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors

do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all

details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the

time of booking. This brochure is our sole responsibility. It is not

issued on behalf of and does not commit any other organisation/

carriers whose services are featured.

16. Safety standards – please note, it is the requirements and

standards of the country in which any services which make up

your holiday are provided which apply to those services and

not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and

standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes

be lower.

17. Brochure Information & Timings – all timings given are for

general guidance only and are subject to change. Please note

that changes to flight departure times which reduce your holiday

duration by less than 12 hours are not significant changes for

the purposes of clause 6. Precise timings, intended order of

excursions/visits and joining instructions will be sent with your

joining instructions approximately ten days before departure. You

are asked to remember that hotel, resort or other facilities may

not be available during your stay due to seasonality or may be

withdrawn for maintenance or other reasons beyond our control.

In these circumstances we shall bear no resulting liability.

Please note: the duration/number of days shown in the brochure

includes the days of departure and return. Any photographs/

illustrations contained in this brochure are purely representative

of the type of places visited, and do not necessarily depict your

exact accommodation/destination.

18. Flight Delays and Flights – while we shall try to assist

in every way to minimise the effects of any delays we do not

accept liability for any delays which occur. Where a delay does

occur we shall consult with the airline concerned regarding

the provision of appropriate refreshments. Some protection

is afforded by travel insurance, and you should ensure your

insurance policy provides adequate cover for flight delays and

cancellation. Under EU Regulation 261 you have rights in some

circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline

in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. If

your airline does not comply with these rules you should

complain to the CAA online at www.caa.co.uk. For assistance

by phone call 020 7453 6888. However reimbursement in such

cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically

entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right

to a refund and/ or compensation from us is set out in clause 6.

If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to

you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. Please note

that any claim for payments from an airline under EU Regulation

261 should be made by the passenger. However, if you ask us

to make such a claim on your behalf, we shall deduct from any

payment we obtain our reasonable costs incurred in connection

with a delay or in re-arranging flights for you. Please note that

very occasionally an airline may add a touchdown en route.

In this case a flight with an intermediate stop not involving a

change of aircraft is still considered a direct flight.

19. Hotel Ratings, Bedrooms and Meals. We are required by

law to state the star rating of hotels. All star ratings stated are

those given by the authorities of the country concerned and are

an indication only of relative standards. Actual standards can

vary between hotels of the same category. Similarly, as the basis

for star ratings varies from country to country, hotels with the

same rating but in different countries may not be of the same

standard. Facilities in single rooms may differ from double

rooms. Hotels charge a supplement for single rooms even

where there is only one single bed as the costs of the upkeep of

the room is the same, regardless of how many people occupy

it. Triple rooms may consist of a double bed and bed-settee or

folding bed. Our aim of providing holidays with interesting and

unusual itineraries takes us to places away from mass-market

tourism. In some cases, where dinner is included, it may be on

a fixed menu basis with no choice as opposed to buffet style.

Please notify us of any dietary requirements. Depending on flight

timings, dinner may consist of a cold plate on arrival at the hotel

if the kitchens are closed.

20. Third Party Websites – We are not responsible for the

contents of websites of hotels or other suppliers and tourist

boards etc. included in this brochure or on our website. Their

contents do not form part of our contract with you nor can they

be construed as representations by us.
