Spain offers a huge variety of terrain and varying scenery, from the
rugged coastlines of Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia in the North to
the mountainous regions of the Costa del Sol, and Canary Islands.
Spain has one of the most diverse landscapes in Europe and walking
and trekking holidays are becoming increasingly popular. When
choosing a walking holiday consider the weather conditions at
different times of year. The northern regions like Galicia and
Cantabria have some spectacular scenery but the weather can be
extremely unpredictable. Most companies offering walking holidays in
Spain tend to stick to locations where the weather is normally fine
during the summer months.
Best Regions For
Walking
The
most popular walking holidays take place in regions which are easily
accessible but have fantastic scenery just off the beaten track away
from the tourist destinations. Here, you'll find the real
Spain not the Spain from the package holiday brochures, areas
like the Aragon Pyrenees, the Sierra Nevada's in Andalucia,
and the beautiful Sierra de Tramontana in Majorca,
away from the coastal resorts Majorca has some breathtaking
scenery and ideal terrain for guided walking holidays.
The Canary Islands also offer some wonderful opportunities for
walking in places like Tenerife and La Gomera.
