About this trip
Stimulating the senses
Whether this is your first visit to us or you plan to return, this weekend of walking promises to reveal some of the most distinctive and captivating inland areas.
We will introduce you to the beautiful sights, sounds, and tastes as we make our way along three distinct walks.
This weekend, you'll delve into the historic town of Teba, which gained prominence thanks to the Scottish knight-errant Sir James Douglas. We'll also experience the changing views as we circumnavigate the Tajos de Gomer and step into history as we climb the Roman Path into the Moorish hillfort of Comares.
And each day, we'll discover a new taste: the unique tapas and local cuisine served in the bars and restaurants on the narrow village streets
