SPAIN hiking weekend away. Sun, sea and exploring
Details
This is a small group event.
Dump the British Blues for the Spanish coast side where the weather is drier, double digits year-round and 300+ days of clear skies means you have a great chance of seeing the sun!
Flights can be super cheap of you book in advance, and you only need one day off work.
This trip includes accommodation in a nice house by the beach, local travel and guided hikes with plenty of free time to explore the city.
See pictures below to get a better idea of what you will see, but bear in mind that no picture can make justice of these sights in person.
ESTIMATED ITINERARY
This might change closer to the day to guarantee the best experience for you.
Every day you will have a chance to enjoy the beach which is a few metres from your accommodation
THURSDAY
Arrive in Malaga at night and we will pick you up from the airport. If you prefer to arrive earlier, let us know.
FRIDAY
After breakfast, we head to Malaga's most famous hiking trail. Although this is an easy hike on your legs, you must have a good head for heights.
CAMINITO DEL REY
Caminito del Rey, or The King's Little Path, is one of the most popular hiking trails in Malaga. Much of the hike stretches along narrow walkways that hug cliffsides and cross gorges. Unsurprisingly, this route had a dangerous reputation, but it has become much safer after restoration work in 2015.
At 7.7 km and with few climbs, Caminito del Rey is a relatively easy hike that takes around 2 hours to complete and is led by a local guide who will teach the history of this canyon.
If you prefer not to do this walk, you can join me on another walk in the region with beautiful views of the lakes. We return to Malaga by 4 pm with time to spare to visit the beach as the sun sets by 6 pm.
SATURDAY
Game of Thrones set and Granada visit
We hike in the Almeria desert to visit the left over set of Game of Thrones, followed by a visit to Granada by the foot of the highest mountain in mainland Spain, at the Sierra Nevada Range.

A morning tour of Malaga visiting the main sights, followed by your final car trip to the airport.
