Holiday activities and wellbeing therapies on offer in Ronda

How better to make the most of your holiday in the Serranía de Ronda by enjoying extra activities? 

If you need to unwind and use your holiday to fully relax, there is nothing better than enjoying massage, reflexology or shiatsu sessions in the comfort and privacy of your hotel room after a day's walk in beautiful surroundings or a day's sight-seeing in Ronda.

Well-being treatments do complement very well walking holidays or any holidays as they help you relieve pains and stiffness as well as leaving you relaxed and revitalised. They also help you eliminate any stress accumulated through a hectic lifestyle.

If you are looking for a more active holiday, why not go cycling or mountain biking in the Serranía de Ronda? Another fun and energetic way to discover this beautiful part of Andalucía. 

If you feel adventurous and enjoy strong sensations, why not try paragliding or hang gliding tandem flights? Soaring with the majestic Griffon Vultures or gliding at exhilarating speed above stunning countryside a few kilometers outside of Ronda....

Or if you love bird watching, why not let yourself be driven by a specialist who knows where rare and interesting birds are so you can enjoy great sightings of incredible diverse species. 

Ronda is very fortunate as there are many holiday activities and wellbeing therapies on offer. For a detailed list of qualified and experienced therapists and activity professionals we have found in the Serranía de Ronda, click on Ronda wellbeing therapies and holiday activities.

May women only walking holiday

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you've all had a relaxing Christmas break and a good start to 2010. If however, you've got winter blues and feel you could do with a break to unwind fully, why not come and join us on our May Spanish women only walking holiday?

Whether you are widowed, single, divorced or married but travelling on your own, come and enjoy stunning walks, at your own pace, in a safe, comfortable environment, and take the time to get to know the Alto Genal, a beautiful and unspoilt part of Andalucia just 20 minutes from Ronda, and enjoy its delicious gastronomy.

• Enjoy delicious Spanish tapas/meals at lunch time in typical Andalucian restaurants in the "Pueblos blancos" we walk to. And in the evening, savour Ivan's gourmet cuisine, the Hotel Bandolero's Cordon Bleu Chef.

Walking holiday in Andalucía, October 2009

Here are a few photos taken during our walking holiday in Andalucia with Hilary, Stuart, Janet and Michael, beginning of October 2009, who were so much fun to walk with. I don't think I have laughed so much while walking!

Thank you ever so much for being so enthusiast, appreciative and so interested in the area, its fauna and flora, its history, its culture, its people and its cuisine. It was a real delight walking with you.

We were also blessed with the weather! Beautiful deep blue skies and delightful temperatures, so much so that you all enjoyed the hotel swimming pool and some of you even managed to have a swim in the morning before the walks and in the afternoon after walking!

The following photos were taken in the Sierra de las Nieves national park, in the Sierra Bermeja and on some of the paths linking the 7 Andalucian white villages of the Alto Genal:

Christmas walking holiday in Andalucia, Spain

Since it is too hot to be doing any walking at present over here in Andalucia, we are planning our next special walking holiday: a Christmas walking holiday in andalucia for those who fancy doing something very different for Xmas this year. We are mainly aiming this Christmas walking holiday to singles or divorced, widowed or recently separated people who enjoy walking in small friendly groups. Christmas can be so stressful but also very sad if you are going to spend it on your own. So, we would like to make it a fun and relaxing time!

We have chosen this time the Altamira apartments for the accommodation of this Christmas walking holiday. The flats are very nicely decorated and cosy with wood burning stoves and central heating. They will make a perfect setting for a fun and friendly holiday. These lovely flats are self-catering, but if you fancy having a fully relaxing holiday, there are 2 bar/restaurants in the village where you can have delicious tapas or meals at very reasonnable prices.

As per usual, the walking will be tailored to the group's need. December is normally nice and dry, so we should be able to enjoy lovely walks in nice weather, in the Genal valley and in the Sierra de las Nieves national park.

An added bonus, for those who are fed up with the Xmas count down and all the commercialism associated to it, Christmas is not a big thing here in Andalucia. They celebrate instead the 3 Wise Men (6 January). So, you can easily get away from it all over here!
