The most important equipment for any of our tours is a pair of sturdy walking shoes (not hiking boots, but comfortable footwear that provides support and grip). All of our tours, not just the walking holidays, include a fair amount of walking, as most of the exploration of villages, towns, and cities is undertaken on foot – we believe this is the most authentic and enjoyable way to experience Andalucian life and culture.
Depending on the time of year, adequate clothing is also essential. In the summer temperatures are extremely high, so you will need light, breathable clothes and a hat; however the cooler months in the mountainous regions of Granada, and the spring and autumn rains, also require adequate clothing – fleeces and coats during those seasons are a must.
Spanish people like to dress up, especially in the evenings, so we ask that guests bring smarter outfits for evening meals in order to feel comfortable with their surroundings.
Don’t forget to bring your phone charger and any power adapters for other electronic devices, as well as any prescription or other medication you might need.
NOTE: Please try not to over-pack. Spanish elevators, hotel rooms, vehicles and lobbies are much smaller than in some other countries. Many clients wish they had travelled lighter, so bear this in mind when packing. Travelling light is a joy!
