Overview

Take spectacular ridge walks amid the limestone towers and rural landscapes of the Aitana Massif in Spain

Although close to the Costa Blanca, the dramatic Aitana Massif in Spain has remained a secret to all but a few discerning visitors. We follow traditional footpaths and mule tracks, mostly along ridge lines, for spectacular panoramas, and then descend to beautiful valleys with natural springs and limestone amphitheatres. The rocky peaks and steep valleys that sweep down to the Mediterranean coast benefit from a warm climate for more than 300 days a year, making this an ideal location for out-of-season walking. The itinerary shown is a guide. Your tour leader may re-order the days based on local conditions and their expert knowledge to ensure the best possible experience.

The trip destination
    Food
    All breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners (plus local wine with dinner, one bottle per three people) are included. Breakfast: Continental style – local seasonal fruit, orange juice, different types of bread, cakes, cheese, ham, or bacon and eggs on request every day. Tea and coffee. Lunch: Picnic lunches will usually consist of bread rolls (our famous wholewheat triple deckers) with cheese and salad/meat, fruit, muesli bars, biscuits or nuts, and a juice carton. Our local guide usually also provides some snacks such as pickled olives, chocolates and dried figs. Evening meal: As the main meal of the day, we enjoy a large variety of local cuisine including espencat, minxos (small pancakes), legume soups, roasted lamb, and, of course, local paella. Most of the food is freshly prepared from locally grown seasonal produce, and the pension produce its own olive oil. A reasonable amount of red wine is provided with the evening meal, but additional beverages are not included. Mealtimes in Spain are later than in many other countries; dinner is usually between 7pm and 7.30pm. For the group meal in Guadalest on Day 5, allow approximately €30. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets are well catered for given prior notice, and most other dietary requirements can also be accommodated if you let us know in advance (at the time of booking). Please note, we can’t guarantee any dietary requests made on arrival. Please note, should flights change to arrive earlier, or depart later, additional meals are not included. Please also note that no refund will be given for meals not taken or taken other than where designated.
    Weather

    This area is known to have the most benign climate in the whole of Europe. Winter is mild and sunny, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year. At night, temperatures can be chilly, especially in the mountains. The little rainfall is usually concentrated in very few days at the beginning of autumn, but rain cannot be discounted on any departure.

    The daytime temperatures in winter usually vary between 14C and 20C (57F and 68F) depending on altitude and orientation. These winter temperatures are ideal for walking although, except for July and August, you can walk here year round. In spring and autumn, temperatures should be between 25C and 30C (77F and 86F) but May, June and September departures may experience some warmer days, up to 35C (95F).

    Is this trip for you?

    This trip has been rated Activity Level 4 (Moderate & Challenging). For more information on our trip gradings, visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

    Suitability: This adventure is among our tougher Activity Level 4 trips. You should be confident in your physical condition and ability to deal with heights, rocky and difficult underfoot terrain. It is for anyone confident in their health and fitness. It is not recommended as a beginner’s trek. It is suited for those who regularly hill walk and have put in some physical preparation beforehand. However, it is also possible to stay at the hotel and do your own walks or other activities from there.

    Hikes: The walking routes are all fairly long (around 9mi-12mi/15km-20km a day) and vary in duration from seven hours to 8hr 30min per day (including stops). In five days of walking, we climb three summits: Serrella (4,465ft/1,361m), Puig Campana (4,626ft/1,410m) and Aitana (5,112ft/1,558m) with approximately 3,280ft (1,000m) of ascent and descent on each of these days. The order of walks may vary depending on weather conditions and group ability.

    Terrain: Most of the paths we follow are footpaths and mule tracks. Some sections are with a gentle gradient, while others follow quite steep rocky paths (sometimes with scree slopes) and there are some sustained ascents/descents. We also trek some cross-country terrain.
