Benamonarda, the specialists in walking and cultural holidays in Spain, have a temporary offer (until 30 June) on selected walking programmes in August, September and October. These include:
31 July-7 August: 'Moorish Kingdom of Granada' - special offer price 745 euros per person (brochure/internet price 795 euros) - single supplement 155 euros
Sierra Nevada: an idyll for walkers and a natural paradise! We take some of its finest routes on foot, approaching from both the south (Alpujarras) and north (Granada-Marquesado) sides. Plus... Granada's bewitching Moorish architecture, the unique ambiance of its tapas bars, the caress of its summer nights and the palpitating rhythms of Flamenco.
7-14 August: 'Genal Valley' - special offer price 539 euros per person (brochure/internet price 589 euros) - single supplement 50 euros
We follow the picturesque pathways of the Genal, its tributaries and the surrounding sierras, through the fragrant Mediterranean forest and the strangely lunar Riscos, by mountain streams and the silvery crests of the limestone summits. There are wonderful panoramas to photo and delicious local dishes to taste in the white villages, spectacularly set cascading down a hillside or nestling under a ruined castle.
18-25 September: 'Caliphs & Knights: Cordoba & Segura' - special offer price 705 euros per person (brochure/internet price 755 euros) - single supplement 135 euros
Discover with us the landscapes and nature of two superb Natural Parks, the Subbética Cordobesa and the Sierras of Cazorla and Segura — the biggest in Spain (2140 km2) and one of Europe's largest. Little known outside Spain, this is an idyllic area for both walkers and naturalists: impressive gorges, high plateaux with vast sheep flocks, forested crags and the crystalline waters of the upper Guadalquivir... with a great variety of flora and fauna including the very dark 'red' squirrel, symbol of the Sierra de Segura.
2-9 October: 'Sierras of Extremadura' - special offer price 725 euros per person (brochure/internet price 775 euros) - single supplement 135 euros
Extremadura... poor, proud and beautiful: superb scenery and noble, golden stone cities. An intricate mixture of a little of each of Andalusia, Castile and inland Portugal, but with a character all its own: castles, 'plazas mayores', picturesque villages and mountain traditions... ham, cheese and wine... the wonderful landscapes of the Ambroz and Tajo valleys, Las Hurdes, Las Batuecas and the Sierras of Béjar and Francia.
9-15 October (6 nights): 'Sierra de Guadalupe' - special offer price 645 euros per person (brochure/internet price 695 euros) - single supplement 115 euros
Rising out of the fertile Guadiana plain in Extremadura, one of the most spectacular mountain ranges of the heart of Spain, for which the word sierra [saw] might have been invented! Abundant game and birdlife, particularly the azure-winged magpie, vineyards and an imposing Mudéjar monastery.
And... there are further reductions for booking two following programmes, 31 July-14 August or 2-15 October. Please ask for details.
