Christmas hols walking

[Deepforest]

my friend and I have walked the camino France's and the Portuguese. But when we get the 25th dec out of the way we wonder if there's anywhere we can walk for a week before we go back to work. We are thinking anywhere with a little sun and warmth.

We are looking at flying into Seville or Malaga and getting a bus to some place in Andalusia . The idea is to hike between villages or around some walks in the sierras. Would anywhere be open there?

Any other ideas for walking in nice weather for a week 26th dec to early January ?

You might enjoy walking in the area of the Alpujara near Granada. A few years ago after I finished the CF my husband and I drove/explored/walked that area during Christmas week. All was splendid!! See more info here

When in Granada DO visit the Alhambra. Once seen you will remember forever the magic of those special spaces. Read more here http://www.alhambra-patronato.es/index.php/Home/1472+M5d637b1e38d/0/

Happy research!

Hi
I can recommend the Rota Vicentina in the Algarve, southern Portugal:

Can’t guarantee you what the weather will be like Dec/Jan, but I had a lovely week of sunshine in Feb, before the rain moved in.

is it possible to hike around Alpujara? We are not hotel people and I prefer the adventure of albergues or hostels. Feels like an adventure that way.

Would any of the caminos be suitable for walking dec 26th to jan 4th?

This really is not particularly helpful, but New Zealand typically has reasonable weather after rain on Christmas Day. Nice walking too.

Well thanks for replying , but I'm afraid a flight from the UK to NZ for 6 days might not be worth it.

Those are the exact dates we did the first stretch of the Camino de Levante last year. Three days of t-shirt weather and orange groves, then a nice, gentle slope with gradually colder weather. If you contact me directly I'm sure I can dig out last year's itinerary, including contact info for the places we slept. (Or search for it here, I think I posted quite alot about it.)
