Guided Walking Holidays  

Spanish Steps has been providing walking holidays and adventures in Andalucia since 1995. Our guided holidays are suitable for singles, couples and groups of friends. Guests are likely to be regular walkers or fit from other activities. Each holiday is of seven night duration but may be extended by adding other options. The holidays are the result of years of personal experience walking in the Parques Natural of Andalucia. All are high in content and value, with most guests coming by way of recommendation or repeat visits.
