We thought the way in Caminito del Ray would be harder, it was very beautiful, great infrastructure on place and very thoughtful organisation from the guides. Delicious lunch, you don’t need to bring any food with you. They also give you a bottle of water and other stuff before the hike. Thank you Daphne!!!”

“This trip to the White Villages was wonderful! Our guide, Cipriano was very knowledgeable, humerous, very professional and...a great driver! The group, 8 in total was great company for the day - 2 German, 2 Swedish, 2 Canadian and ourselves, 2 Irish. The 3 course lunch, included in the price, was delicious and, for me, as coeliac, included many gluten free options. Olétrips were lovely to deal with, personal, very organized and friendly. I look forward to further trips with Olétrips. Emer and Eoin”

It was a pleasure to meet Ramon; his obvious love and passion for his home town, its traditions, history and food/wine made for a very interesting and educational trip around a truly fascinating area.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

Hike from Maro through tropical farms to a quiet natural park beach, then snorkel in clear water on this small-group Malaga day trip.

“What a wonderful trip. Best day of our vacations in Spain. We started the hike crossing some tropical plantations: bananas, mangos, avocados, custard apple...after that we got into the natural park and what a stunning views from the cliffs. Be ready to descend steep areas until the beach, some areas are challenging...not for every body....once in the beach we could relax and enjoy in this unique place. We were alone in the beach and we started with the snorkelling. We saw a lot of fish in the turquoise water. It really felt like vacations!”

7.Cycling – Via Verde de la Sierra – Easy Difficulty – Ronda

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $132

Cycle a gentle 36km rail trail from Olvera near Ronda, with tunnels, viaducts, olive groves, a vulture center, and guide support.

“Top Notch! This was an absolutely amazing trip! Lee was fantastic from the beginning to the end. He Communicated with us in a timely amount and ran the tour exactly as described. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and helpful. The bike ride itself along the Via Verde is beautiful. The photos cannot do the scenery justice. The bike ride did involve a fair amount of riding on gravel, but the wide tires of his bikes made that a breeze even for this less/than-expert rider. One magical moment- about 10 school aged children were riding through one of the tunnels ahead of us, their happy laughing voices echoing like a bird song…”
