Juan: It depends on the time of year and the difficulty but anywhere on average between 5-20km a day
Q: Do you use any specialist equipment?
Juan: Only a good pair of walking boots, lightweight clothing and a first aid kit.
Q: How fit do you need to be to go on our walking holiday?
Juan: Enough to be able to walk 10k comfortably
A: Do you walk in all weathers?
Juan: We walk in all weather here as it gets very hot and we are used to the high temperatures. I would recommend to walk in the morning or late afternoon/evening to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Juan: Always wear footwear that is comfortable. Light layers that can been added and taken off to adjust to the climate as this can change very quickly depending on where you are walking.

Juan: I would always recommend taking a mobile phone. Not only is it essential in an emergency but you can capture pictures and videos of your walks.
Q: Where was the last place you went on holiday?
Tom: The last place I visited was Cordoba, I would recommend visiting it one day.
Juan will be escorting our groups this Autumn & Spring across all dates on “Walking-the-Sierra-De-Mijas”.
