Valencia walking holidays

For those who prefer to walk in the company of other walkers in groups of between six and twelve, we can cater for larger groups of up to twenty. You can choose between two different departure dates. Groups of eight or more can choose their own departure date.

The walks are graded easy to moderate but we can include longer or shorter routes, some examples are given on the right. These are not treks so we adjust our pace to the terrain and your fitness level.

Our Valencia walking holidays include five day's guiding but individuals can always combine with one or two day's self-guided walking if they wish.

We have a variety of walks each with distinct character, so you may be walking through fruit orchards, olive groves, river gorges or along ridges with panoramic views.

You can explore ancient Iberian settlements and Moorish ruins while wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy spotting local plants, insects and animals. If requested we can also arrange five day's based around one or two subjects

Your guide is an expert on the natural environment of the area and will bring the countryside to life for you, click on a topic on the left for more. The walks last from four to six hours covering on average seven miles and some 1500 feet of ascents on footpaths, tracks and quiet "B" roads. This is roughly equivalent to 12 miles on flat going. Car transfers, where necessary, are short. Holiday Cottages
We have a number of holiday cottages available. All of them are approved and registered with the Valencian Government and meet all their requirements for Casas Rurals. Our favourite is As Tunel (The Tunnel) which is accessed through a tunnel like entrance to reveal a lovely patio with flower garden, great views of the mountains and access to nearly an acre of grounds with an almond orchard. All of this just fifty paces from the village centre. This cottage is ideal for a couple, it is fully equipped and furnished to a very high standard. We recommend it very highly as do all our guests.

Hotel de Tàrbena **
This two-star family run hotel is located in the village centre. The owner, Paco Molines-Ripoll, has restored the former farm workers house into a comfortable hotel. Paco lived in Canada for many years and speaks good English, you are assured of a warm welcome for your stay here. Prices are based on two sharing a double or twin bedroom, the singles prices assume at least two other walkers. We can accept singles on their own, price on application. Rooftop suites with terraces are also available.

Hotel Casa Lehmi ****
This luxury four star hotel is located just a mile from the village in quiet countryside. Set in beautiful grounds with swimming pool, tennis court, sauna and spa bath the owners set high standards in facilities and services. With only a handful of rooms you are assured of a personal service and attention that you would expect from a high quality hotel. We recommend Casa Lehmi to walkers who want to relax in high quality and spacious accommodation.
