-
ALL YEAR ROUND - The Camino de Santiago
Thousands of people do it and almost all of them agree: it's an original and different experience that you have to live at least once in your life. Pack your rucksack, find comfortable shoes and get ready to walk a section of Spain's most famous pilgrimage route. The goal is Santiago de Compostela, the track crosses the north of the country and coexistence is the best way to delve into its nature, discover its rich heritage and savour its gastronomy.
-
ALL YEAR ROUTE - Motorbike Routes
This idea is one of those that leaves a lasting memory. A group of friends, hundreds of kilometres ahead of them and the adventure of riding through beautiful landscapes together. There are many options depending on your interests. Travelling along the Spanish Mediterranean coast? Following the footsteps of the Silver Route? Crossing the popular Andalusia? Crossing the valleys of green Asturias? Attending a World Motorcycling Grand Prix on your own bike, burning rubber from your home country?
-
ALL YEAR ROUND - Short weekend breaks
Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia, Seville or even Ibiza in summer are top destinations for a quick trip with friends. The reasons? Excellent communications with the whole of Europe, an enviable range of leisure, culture and entertainment and points of interest very close to each other, making it possible to visit different places in just a few hours. Which one do you choose?
-
ALL YEAR - The most dangerous track in the world
Or the one that was until recently. We are talking about the Caminito del Rey (in Málaga, Andalusia). It is now open to visitors and retains all its spectacular and vertiginous nature, but without any risk. Its location, very close to the Costa del Sol, will allow you to combine it with days on the beach in the Mediterranean or even days of golf in the European capital of this sport: Marbella.
-
SPRING - Rafting & white water
There is excitement, speed and plenty of action. The thaw fills the rivers with water and descending them as a team is a fun-filled experience. Although the rivers carry more water in the spring, it can be a great option for early summer. You have many areas to do it but the Pyrenees area of Lleida stands out with some of the best known European rivers for rafting, such as Noguera Pallaresa and Noguera Ribagorzana. See more destinations here.
-
SPRING AND SUMMER - Between zip lines
This is pure adrenaline... or magic. We explain: we offer two very special and original zip lines. The first is in Fiscal (Huesca, Aragon), at the gates of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park: it will keep you in the air for a minute and a half to cover its two-kilometre length, making it one of the longest in Europe and among the fastest in the world. The second is unique in the world because you could say that it takes you back in time. It is located in Sanlúcar de Guadiana (Huelva, Andalusia); when you hurtle down it at a speed of 70 kilometres per hour the clock will go back. The trick? You will cross the border as you fly and when you set foot on the ground you will step on Portugal, where it is one hour earlier.
-
SPRING & AUTUMN - 4x4 or quad routes through unusual landscapes
Advantages of an off-road vehicle? Several of you can go with a guide and venture into difficult-to-access terrain. Why choose a quad bike? You will all drive and that is a freedom that makes it even more fun. In any case, the important thing is to decide where to do it with your friends. You will like our proposals. A lunar-like landscape? Note down the routes through the Natural Park of Bardenas Reales (Navarre) Film deserts? Tabernas (in Almería, Andalusia) or Monegros (between Huesca and Zaragoza, in Aragon). Protected nature with landscapes that change a lot depending on the time of year? Your destination is the Doñana National Park (in Huelva and Seville, Andalusia). Volcanic territories and always good weather? Choose the Canary Islands.
-
SUMMER - Time to hoist sails and set sail
Whether you are a sailing enthusiast or not, a few summer days on the coast of Spain are a fantastic opportunity to enjoy water sports. From participating in sailing courses (no matter your level), to obtaining a diving licence. From surfing and windsurfing to renting jet skis at the beach. The options are almost endless and can be enjoyed all along the coastline.
-
SUMMER - Festival life
Between June and September, the music sounds in Spain to the rhythm of thousands of young people who can't stop dancing at its festivals. You can find them at beach destinations, such as the famous FIB or the Arenal Sound. You'll find them in big cities like Sónar or Primavera Sound in Barcelona, or Mad Cool in Madrid. You have more alternative options such as Ortigueira's International Festival of the Celtic World, or the Rototom Reggae Festival. Check the dates at this link and get ready to dance.
-
WINTER - Enjoying the snow and après ski
If you think Spain is just a country of sun and sea, you are wrong. It is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe and in winter it offers great snow at its ski resorts. Among the most prestigious are La Molina (Girona, Catalonia) and Sierra Nevada (Andalusia, Granada), regulars on the international snow sports calendar; or Baqueira Beret (Lleida, Catalonia) and Formigal-Panticosa (Huesca, Aragon), which offer the most skiable kilometres in the Spanish Pyrenees. Snowshoeing, heliskiing, hiking, dog sledding, thermal tourism and a wide range of après-ski activities in all seasons ensure a great winter holiday in Spain.
