Hiking

The most simple, convenient, affordable and comprehensive way to discover the nature. Enjoy the mountains, countryside and rural heritage walks, walking trails, roads, royals trails  etc ....

For an undetermined duration from a few hours to even one or more days.
With such diverse objectives as the enjoyment of the environment and the road or the knowledge of flora, fauna, historical and rural heritage (Camino de Santiago), enjoy the mid-mountain regions (GR 11, GR 7, Sendero Sulayr ... etc.)

It would be  ideal is to start on well waymarked trails and with travel information (M.I.D.E.), crosses and difficulties. If not, will be documented thoroughly before starting the activity (duration, difficulty, possible provisioning, sources) In both situations, we should always check the weather and report  our route and the estimated duration to someone.

In a very simple and graphic way provides all the necessary information about the tour, including: severity of the environment, orientation, difficulties in movement and effort to be spend to overcome the course.
