In Spain we have been blessed with one of the greatest things that money cannot

buy: the warmth of the sun and the brightness of wide open blue skies, day in and

day out.

We take for granted the splendid fresh produce that our sun nurtures and the

healthy Mediterranean diet that we enjoy. Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, lived

amongst us and we were enriched by their cultures and traditions, but it was the

greatness of an empire that conquered half the world, in the name of religion,

which made it possible for our ancestors to build some of the greatest religious

buildings ever constructed and which, still today, dominate our towns and cities.

Spain is a large and varied country of pristine beaches, vast plains, impressive

mountain ranges; it is a stepping stone between Northern Europe and Africa, a

land of bears, wolves, lynx, vultures, eagles, storks, flamingos…

We aim to show the world our most valued heritage, but not exploit it; share it

but not damage it or devalue it in the process.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH HOLIDAYS

We strive to offer quality travel experiences that benefit the local rural economy

in a sustainable way, making every effort to minimize any impact on the local

enviroment.

We are committed to offsetting the carbon

footprint on all of our tours and offer the

travellers the opportunity to do the same

with their flights.
