We recently visited Malta to explore this new walking holiday, and it’s a gem for all seasons. From the dramatic Dingli Cliffs to Popeye Village and the Majjistral Nature Park, the walks reveal stunning landscapes. You’ll also explore Valletta, Malta’s historic capital, and Gozo’s serene countryside, including the Wied il-Mielaħ natural arch.
Our recent visit to Menorca showcased the island’s stunning contrasts, from lush northern bays to rocky southern caves. Exploring Mahon’s historic harbour and Ciutadella’s quiet charm was a treat, but the unspoilt beaches, especially at Son Bou, stole the show. Menorca’s natural beauty and rich history make it an unforgettable destination.
Our private group recently visited the beautiful Mijas Pueblo, a traditional Andalucian village perched 1,475 feet above the Mediterranean. Split into smaller walking groups based on ability, we offered both an easier and a more challenging walk through the stunning Sierra de Mijas. The marble and limestone landscape, rich with vegetation, revealed hidden valleys, breathtaking views, and tranquil beauty.
Along the way, our group explored the village’s charming whitewashed streets and visited its fascinating folk museum, featuring 41 of Picasso’s ceramic works, along with pieces by Dali and Miro. Located just a short distance from bustling coastal resorts, Mijas felt like a peaceful world apart.
For those looking to explore further, Malaga—with its impressive Picasso Museum—or a relaxing seaside day in Fuengirola were just a quick public transport trip away.
Stunning images from the trip highlight the natural beauty and cultural richness of this unforgettable destination.
