Cultural Walking Tours

"The Cities of Andalucia" are a popular destination for a host of package tour and promotional companies.
In our travels we see large groups being herded into buses or following unintelligible guides with their umbrellas, daffodils or other forms of identification held high. The more independent traveller can hire a car and, with guide book in hand, visit the sights and search out hotels. With both types of holiday, much can be missed and valuable time wasted. With our local knowledge, contacts and ten years of experience in Andalucia, Spanish Steps is able to offer informative, interesting and enjoyabl 'special interest' and tailor-made holidays to the discerning traveller. The ingredients for the holidays are:-
  • Good accommodation in hotels that reflect the character and charm of Andalucia.
  • Excellent food and wine with all meals taken at carefully chosen local restaurants.
  • Dedicated transport to and from airports and throughout the holiday.
  • Imaginative and fully reserched routes and activities.
  • Well-informed Spanish speaking British guide dedicated to the group.
  • Small groups of up to fourteen guests to ensure holidays are personalised and enjoyable.

Cultural Walking Tours
Our tours are based on The Routes of al-Andalus, a series of recognised cultural itineraries that follow the rise and fall of Islamic Spain. They offer historical and cultural explorations of Andalucia, together with gentle walks in delightful and interesting rural locations.
The first of these tours follows the "
Route the Caliphate " with 2 nights in Cordoba, 3 nights in the Subbetica Parque Natural and 2 nights in Granada. The holidays are run on scheduled dates throughout the year.
