These are holidays created and run by Gill and Dave, a British couple living in the region. They are experienced walkers trained in hill safety and first aid, and with an infectious enthusiasm for the region! They have found the very best walking routes always through beautiful and varied countryside. They have developed a good knowledge of the area, and its plant and animal life, as well as local customs and traditions. The couple now live on a small farm above the village of Torrox Pueblo and are good Spanish speakers.
Dave Armstead is keen to share his enthusiasm for the area. He makes sure that everybody can enjoy their walking and no-one gets left behind... "We want people to have fun while they experience the outdoor life, and we are happy to make the walks accessible to all levels of walkers so that all may enjoy the panoramic views, even if they can't make it all the way on foot" Clients tell us he is very approachable, flexible, and has a wicked sense of humour!
