We can arrange activity holidays in the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada of Andalucia, southern Spain. The area provides great opportunities for all, from the high and wild mountains, in winter, to the more gentle hills of the Alpujarras. There is something to interest everybody.

Trips can be of any duration and any start date. Singles and groups are welcomed. Tailor made, family friendly activity courses available and also support for self guided climbers, walkers and trekkers. The links here provides lots of weather,mountain and local information for those travelling independently or those who just want to learn more about these wonderful mountains!

Sierra Nevada ”self-guided” - self guided groups of adventurers. We help with planning, airport transfers, transport to and from trailheads, accommodation, route planning and snow advice. We also have a large gear rental facility so you are not penailised by the airlines.
