What to expect on a walking tour in Spain
Can I go walking in Spain as a solo traveler?
Our small group walking tours in Spain are ideal for traveling solo, and you’ll be in good company – around half of travelers on our trips do so alone. Our Spanish walking tours are designed with solo travelers in mind, meaning you’ll meet and socialize with other like-minded hikers, sharing your experiences along the way.
When is the best time to go on a walking trip in Spain?
The best season to go on a walking vacation in Spain is in the ‘shoulder seasons’ - spring or fall. Outside of the hottest months, you can still have warm and sunny days, while the temperatures are more temperate and suited to walking and hiking. The exception is the Canary Islands, where it is still possible to travel between November and February. Usually the months of July and August are too hot for a walking trip and are best avoided.
How challenging are walking vacations in Spain?
Our walking and trekking vacations in Spain are graded from Easy through to Moderate, with walking times between two and seven hours a day. When grading walking trips, we take into account the terrain, ascents and descents as well as daily distances covered - check the grading on the trip pages to help choose the right walking tour for you.
