Where to go on a multi activity vacation in Spain

Spain is huge, with landscapes that vary from the sandy beaches of Andalucia to the snow-striped mountains of the Picos de Europa and Pyrenees. Our multi activity vacations visit local activity providers in lesser-visited areas of Spain – which often means going rural. You’ll usually stay in one place, perhaps in an independent hotel or guest house, and be whisked off to various river gorges, via ferrata routes or snowshoeing trails within an hour or two’s drive, hike or train ride away. Or in the case of many, the adventure starts from your accommodation’s front door. Scenery changes fast here, so although you’re typically based in one place you’ll have the chance to try a variety of different activities in a variety of natural environments.

“The stargazing session was so memorable, book it if you can! Take bug spray, we did get a lot of bites – so we were better for the bug spray. Use the app provided by the hotel, it’s very helpful for choosing the most accessible activities and Ilaria is so helpful with booking things.” – Charlotte Broughton on our Altiplano de Granada activity vacation

“We’ve had 87-year-old who are into everything and parents with babies who are still keen to get involved. Some guests arrive and they seem to be stuck in an inactive rut. We encourage them to get going again by joining a few yoga classes or tackling easy walking or cycling routes.” – Fiona Smart, who co-owns our activity and sports hotel Mas Pelegri near Girona

“We highly recommend all the activities we did: kayaking, rafting, riding, canyoning, Segway, cooking, flamenco and archaeology. The location is wonderfully remote. Be prepared for a bit of rough driving and make good use of the app.” – Helen Bowman on our Altiplano de Granada activity vacation

“It’s usually a mix of family time and social time that works best for most. We always talk with families and find out what they’d like to do. It often depends on the age of the kids. We'll do our best to accommodate everyone but really you need to make sure your family knows what they’re signing up for before they book.” – Ilaria Grieco, co-owner of our Spanish multi activity vacation specialists El Geco Verde

“Definitely hire a car with a big ground clearance, preferably a 4x4. The roads are often not covered in tarmac and the hills are quite steep.” – Helen Ainsworth on our Altiplano de Granada activity vacation
