Sierra De Aitana Trek

Transport

A private minibus is usually used for airport arrival and departure transfers. Depending on the group size, the short daily transfers and organised excursions will be either by nine-seater van or private vehicles. On occasions, your leader will need to make two journeys at the end of the walks so some members of the group may have to wait 20 minutes (or have another beer) to join the second transfer.

Accommodation

This is a centre-based trip, spending all seven nights in the village of Guadalest, Alicante. We usually stay at Hostal Rincón de Pepe, a small family-run hotel with eight simple but clean en suite rooms. The main draw here is the warm welcome and stunning mountain views from every room and the large terrace, plus its proximity to the walks. The hotel restaurant is also popular for its traditional fare and friendly service. Should you require additional accommodation before or after the tour, it is possible to book extra nights in Alicante through Exodus and join the group transfers to/from Guadalest – please enquire for details. Pre/post-tour accommodation is not available at the accommodation in Guadalest. The accommodation only has eight rooms, single supplements (on request) are limited and are allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Meals

All breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners (plus local wine with dinner, one bottle per three people) are included. Breakfast: Local seasonal fruit, fresh orange juice, breads, cakes, cheese, ham or bacon, tea and coffee. Lunch: Picnics will usually consist of bread rolls with cheese and salad/meat, fruit, and muesli bars, biscuits or nuts with a carton of juice. Our local guide usually also provides snacks such as pickled olives, chocolates and dried figs. Evening meal: A large variety of local cuisine including espencat (roasted vegetable salad), minxos (small pancakes), legume soups, roasted lamb and local paella. Most of the food is freshly prepared from locally grown, seasonal produce, and the pension produces its own olive oil. A reasonable amount of local wine is provided with the evening meal, but additional beverages are not included. Mealtimes in Spain are later than in many other countries; dinner is usually between 8pm and 9.30pm. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets are well catered for given prior notice, and most other dietary requirements can also be accommodated if you let us know in advance (at the time of booking). Please note, should flights change to arrive earlier, or depart later, additional meals are not included. Please also note that no refund will be given for meals not taken or taken other than where designated.
