Route notes, GPX and a van that moves your bag. No leader on the hill, which suits some people and not others.
Andalusia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Would send friends their way.
Andalusia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Recommended.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Two to three months for a good Nasrid Palaces slot in spring and autumn, and it sells out completely. The ticket is named and checked against ID at the gate. This is the single reason to book this trip early.
