Where can I go on an activity holiday in Spain?

THE CANARY ISLANDS

Whether you're exploring on two wheels or by foot, the Canary Islands offer adventurers sights of unique natural beauty and biological importance. Take your pick from birdwatching on Lanzarote, awe-inspiring walking routes around La Gomera or visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites in Tenerife, the 'Island of Eternal Spring'. For an activity trip to Spain that is off the beaten path, El Hierro is waiting for you with its mixture of volcanic scenery and Canarian pine woodlands. We also offer Spain adventure tours to the volcanic isles of La Palma and Gran Canaria, full of black sand beaches and lush greenery.

GALICIA

For an adventure holiday to Spain that you'll never forget, travel the famous Camino Frances or visit the historic towns and cities of Burgos, Fromista and Leon when you journey to Galicia. The Camino Frances and Camino de Santiago are some of the most famous pilgrimage routes in Europe. Refresh your soul and reflect on life from Sarria to Santiago de Compestela as you take in the stunning views alongside fellow walkers from all over the world.

CATALONIA

Packed with contrast and variety, Catalonia (or Catalunya) offers some of the best unspoilt natural landscapes in Spain. Ideal as a family activity holiday or single adventure, you'll take in sweeping green valleys, ancient wine villages, hidden white hamlets and colourful fishing harbours. Highlights on this tour include artists' favourite Cadaques and the spectacular bay at Roses, with a 16th-century castle and ruined citadel. Whether you choose a self-guided walking or cycling route, the undiscovered Catalan countryside is yours to explore.

Frequently asked questions

Where in Spain is best for an active holiday?

Each adventure tour destination in Spain has been carefully handpicked to ensure that you get the most out of your hiking or cycling trip. Andalucia stands out as one of the best cycling spots in Spain with its smooth roads and stunning scenery. The northern region of Catalonia offers a variety of walking trails for all capabilities, stretching across the Andorra and the Pyrenees.

What is the prettiest part of Spain?

Every activity holiday available offers only the most spectacular views that Spain has to offer but some destinations really take the cake. The Canary Islands are known for breathtaking natural beauty and paradisical landscapes, which can be explored on two wheels or by foot. You can walk across volcanic black beaches or lush green valleys and up snow-capped mountains.

Andalucia is another gem set in Spain's southernmost region that provides unparalleled sights and activities which set it apart. With our adventure trips, you can visit vibrant cities like Seville and Cadiz before you wander out into the idyllic Mediterranean countryside and woodland.

What time of year is the cheapest to go to Spain?

Many of our Spain adventure trips are available all year round and we work to make sure that you get the best value for money with each package. The cheapest time to visit Spain is usually between December to March as this coincides with the country's cooler temperatures and its thinnest tourist season. There is still plenty to see and enjoy during this period.

What to expect from your activity holiday in Spain?

If you're an avid adventurer who wants to bask in the cultural and historical delights with which Spain is brimming, then our multi-activity holidays are for you. Active exploration is at the centre of our adventure tours to Spain, and you don't even need to worry about carrying your luggage around with you - our team will arrange to have it transported between destinations. We offer a variety of ability grades and options for guided tours but we recommend browsing our routes to find the holiday that best suits you.

Whether you choose to go by bike or on foot, our self-guided activity trips to Spain give you the freedom to explore your selected region as it suits you. You'll receive a briefing to ensure that you're set up with the appropriate equipment and information. Our audio navigation app will give you tailored instructions for the different routes available for your journey. GPS functions and conventional maps can be found here, too.

What to pack for an activity holiday in Spain?

The activity and destination that you've chosen will affect what you need to pack for your holiday to Spain, along with the season in which you're travelling. If you're selecting a tour in the spring and summer months, you can expect typically sunny skies and dry climates. In this case, we would recommend bringing:

  • Sunglasses and hats
  • Water bottles
  • SPF and other sun protection products
  • Comfortable shoes and clothing
  • Waterproof jacket and lightweight trousers (if required)

If you're choosing to embark on a cycling tour around Spain, we'll make sure that you have the necessary kit for your adventure. Headwater bikes will be supplied to you but pedals, cycling computers, saddles, water bottle cages and child seats can be brought along with you and fitted.

What to wear on an activity holiday in Spain?

This will depend on whether you're going cycling or hiking; however, there are some essential staples that you should bring with you regardless. Sturdy shoes and thick socks are musts when being active all day, while lightweight, breathable clothing will keep you comfortable on your journey. You'll also need to keep an eye on the weather forecast to see if you need to bring along any waterproofs.

What time of year is best for an activity holiday in Spain?

Depending on the activity package that you choose, you can holiday to Spain throughout the entire year. The summer months can bring temperatures of over 35 degrees, so we recommend springtime and autumn as the ideal seasons for walking and cycling trips. Temperatures are significantly cooler and can keep you comfortable when staying active outside all day.
