A land rich in the stories and history of many peoples, Spain's adventurers once embarked on naval expeditions that crossed great seas, opened new continents, and gave birth to an empire. Now, many thousands of people flock to the country every year to experience its own delights. Taking a guided walking holiday provides a up-close and personal experience of a country that offers so much for the traveller. Of all that is on offer, here are five main reasons you should let your feet indulge in this wonderful country. The colour of the Latin culture With its heritage stretching back to Roman times and with influences from Africa, Europe and the Middle East, the Latin culture from this region has spread around the world. Walking in Spain provides you with an opportunity to indulge in the heart of this culture. Walk through Seville, Malaga and Priego de Cordoba in Andalucia and experience the heartland of bullfighting and flamenco dancing, or witness the Moorish heritage from Marrakesh in a walk to Madrid. The freshness of the climate Walking in Spain offers the joys of a seemingly endless summer. Take a guided tour through Fuerteventura and enjoy the temperate weather and year-round sunshine. Transform your experience of winter and taste the warmth of the Canary Islands, where the winter temperature rarely falls below twenty degrees. It is one of the great privileges of this country that whether you walk past volcanic terrain, green hills, dusty streets or yellow sandy beaches, the sun is your constant companion. The temptation of Latin cuisine The richness of the heritage is reflected in the richness of the cuisine – hence, walking in Spain is a true pleasure for your tastebuds. As you take any of the many guided walks on offer, you have the opportunity to taste Catalonian spicy sausage or fish and shellfish casserole; the fresh Mediterranean seafood diet and paella in Valencia; or the tantalising tapas and churros in the culinary capital of Madrid. The ‘home away from home’ hospitality One of the great benefits of walking in Spain is that you need not prepare for rough accommodation. Whether you are in Catalonia or Andalucia, the foothills of the Pyrenees, or the beaches of the Canary Islands, you will find four and five star accommodation and friendly staff. Moreover, any trip past major cities like Seville and Madrid will give you the chance to go from natural wonderlands to a thriving modern nightlife in one day. The diversity of exciting destinations Finally, the discerning traveller must put this warm and welcoming country on their list simply for the sheer diversity of landscapes available to explore. You can walk past the Costa de la Luz and see wild boar, deer and mongoose, or gaze upon green forests and pristine lakes near San Telmo and Puerte de Soller in Majorca. Desert, snow, beaches, and forests – this destination has it all! Tony Maniscalco is the Marketing Manager for Ramblers Worldwide Holidays.
