Trecking, Hiking Routes
This little known mountainous area in the E of Spain is a beautiful location for walking and trekking. The inland from the Costa Blanca is a totally different world of quiet walking paths amongst the mountains. Spectacular limestone peaks dominate the landscape, a superb climate and lots of rare flora and fauna along with fascinating history make this a great place for a weeks walking holiday. We are based in one of the many small villages dotted amongst the hills with terraces of olive, almond and cherry groves. We'll be walking out from the village, or short drive to the start of the walks and returning back every dayel at home.
