Looking Back on a Wonderful Summer of Walking
As summer draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at the incredible journeys our walking groups enjoyed over the past few months. It has been a season filled with sunshine, new friendships, and some unforgettable landscapes.
Our travellers explored the golden coastline of the Western Algarve, discovered hidden gems on our brand-new Rails and Trails in Catalonia, took in the dramatic peaks of the Costa Blanca, wandered through the timeless scenery of Tuscany, and soaked up the Mediterranean charm of Mallorca.
We’ve pulled together a selection of photos that capture the spirit of the season – from coastal paths and vineyard walks to leisurely evenings spent in the company of fellow walkers. Take a look and see what our groups got up to this summer.

Walking In Western Algarve
Experience the Algarve’s natural beauty on escorted walks through unspoiled countryside and coastline. Discover Armação de Pêra’s stunning beach, vibrant fishing scene, and local cuisine. Recharge between walks or explore nearby.

Catalonia Trails & Rails
Discover Catalonia on a solo walking holiday from the Estival Maramar Hotel. Explore coastal walks, medieval towns, Roman history, vineyard tours, and Tarragona’s UNESCO heritage. Relax by the Mediterranean and see photos from recent groups and our own visit earlier this summer to this popular new destination.

Walking in Costa Blanca
Walking in the Costa Blanca is a delightful blend of coastal beauty and rugged mountain terrain. Trails wind through fragrant orange groves, charming white-washed villages, and along dramatic cliffs with stunning Mediterranean views. The warm, sunny climate and the vibrant colours of flora add to the enchantment of this Spanish gem.

Walking in Mallorca
Mallorca, the largest Balearic Island, offers more than sun and sand. Stay at Bella Playa Spa Hotel in Cala Ratjada for walking adventures amidst stunning coastlines, pine forests, and mountain trails.

Walking in Tuscany
Experience the heart of Italy on our walking holiday through Tuscany and Liguria. Wander scenic trails through rolling vineyards, olive groves, and along the stunning Ligurian coast, with plenty of time to soak up the views and local culture. From the charming hilltop towns of Tuscany to the colourful seaside villages of the Cinque Terre, every day offers something new to discover. With expert guides and a relaxed pace, it’s the perfect blend of exploration and la dolce vita.

Walking in Menorca
Traditionally quieter than Mallorca and Ibiza, Menorca is just 30 by 10 miles yet full of contrasts. Explore lush northern bays, rocky southern caves, historic Mahon and Ciutadella, and unspoilt beaches like Son Bou. Take a look at the latest group image highlights from this UNESCO biosphere island.
