Secret Sierras of the Costa Blan

Secret Sierras of the Costa Blan Overview

A week of outstanding guided walking in the hidden Sierras of Spain's Costa Blanca

This excellent, one week, guided Spanish walking holiday explores the ‘Secret Sierras' of the Sierra de Aitana, la Serrella,  Aixorta and Bernia, which form the famous backdrop to the Costa Blanca. Just a short journey inland from the package holiday crowds of Benidorm, there is a very different side to the Costa Blanca amongst the rugged limestone peaks of these sierras and the traditional, white-painted villages of the Marina Baixa and Marina Alta regions. From three different hotel bases in Benimantell, Castell de Castell and Albir on the bay of Altea, we will set out to walk the best routes in the region, including airy ridges and summits such as Aitana (1558m) and Puig Campana (1408m). Each of our carefully selected bases provides a comfortable place to stay in stunning locations including 3 nights in our seafront hotel in Albir on the bay of Altea. Altea is an attractive traditional coastal town with an historic centre and the perfect Mediterranean ambience. This is a great walking holiday, offering a variety of moderate walks, options for more challenging days, virtually guaranteed sunshine, easy access through Alicante, and even a chance to try one of our guide's delicious home cooked Spanish Paellas and share a beer with the locals after a great day's walking! This isn't just a taste of the region, this is living the Mediterranean life!
