Holidays in the Hidden Corners of Spain 2010

Parador de Baiona

These holidays are designed to include some of Spain’s most beautiful and lesser known landscapes. This is "Real Spain" at its best. There will be no pressure, no early morning starts, and no compulsory sight seeing. Most Paradores are less than one hundred miles apart, but on the occasional day when a longer journey is necessary we will follow the advice of the AA which is to have a break every 2 hours or every hundred miles, so there will be no exhausting long journeys.

We aim to make the travelling a pleasure and organise lunch breaks in interesting places. The coach will be there to transport you from Parador to Parador, and will be on hand for optional excursions to places of interest. For the energetic there are spectacular walking routes, for the culturally inclined there will be visits to archeological sites and museums, and for nature lovers we include Nature Reserves and National Parks.

These are value-for-money holidays which include accommodation, breakfast and dinner (most nights) including wine, coffee etc., in Spain’s luxurious Parador hotels, or hotels of similar quality where there is no Parador. By following a route via Paradores the most remote and scenic regions of Spain are discovered. 
 
 


*Golfing Holidays with a difference*
Lorna Roberts is organising more holidays combining the luxury of the Spanish Paradors with interesting visits in the 'real Spain' and friendly golf competions on some of Spain's finest courses.

* NEW TOUR * AIGUABLAVA IN APRIL

SHORT BREAK AT THE PARADOR AT AIGUABLAVA IN APRIL - JUST RELEASED!!

This is a chance to experience our "Escorted Holidays in the Hidden Corners of Real Spain" on a 4-day holiday at the beautiful Parador at AIGUABLAVA on the Catalonian coast at a very special price which has been offered to us by the Parador. It is designed to be a relaxing break in one of the most spectacular Paradores siuated on a headland overlooking a small cove in one of the most unspoilt corners of the Costa Brava. As it is 5 Km from Begur, the nearest village, it is not a suitable Parador for anyone not wishing to drive, so this will give an opportunity for these people to experience this idyllic setting as all transport, excursions etc are included in the price.
 

 

Friday 23rd April: Evening flight from Dublin to Girona where you will be met and taken to the Parador at AIGUABLAVA. As it is a late arrival instead of dinner there will be a welcome drink and tapas buffetr at the Parador.

Saturday 24th April Breakfast is served until 11a.m. and Paradores are famous for their sumptious buffet breakfasts, so this will be a lazy morning with nothing organised. In the afternoon there will be a short excursion, for those who wish, to the neighbouring villages of Pals and Begur. Dinner in the Parador.

Sunday 25th April: Late morning departure to the village of Peratallada for a lunch break followed by a visit to the Greek and Roman settlement at Empurias. Dinner in the Parador.

Monday 26th April: Late morning excursion to the neighbouring coastal villages and a chance to walk on the coast paths. Dinner in the Parador.


 

Tuesday 27th April: Morning in the Parador. Farewell drink and snack in the bar before leaving. There will be a stop at the pottery town of la Bisbal en-route to Girona. Time in Girona to visit the Cathedral, old town and tapas bars befiore going to the airport for the evening flight to Dublin.

Flights must be booked individually as prices change frequently, but are very reasonable at the moment. MAP Travel can book flights if you wish.
Cost per person sharing: 575 Euro (+ flights) to include 4 nights Bed & Breakfast, 3 dinners and a tapas reception on arrival (drinks included with dinner), transfers to and from Girona airport, and excursions. We do not include entrance fees to museums etc as not everyone chooses to go on excursions, and some people qualify for reduced rates.
Single supplement: 40 Euro per night.
