If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
We enjoyed milling around Seville immensely, especially the Real Alcazar and the Plaza de Espana. The walking routes from Inntravel provided a good guide for where best to spend our time in the city, without being overwhelming. We had not realised how important it was to book ahead to visit the Cathedral and the Alcazar and this I strongly recommend doing prior to the holiday, as the earlier entrance times get quickly booked up and this can be unhelpful when you only have a limited time to visit the city.
Our time in Alajar was by far the highlight, but probably especially so after the contrast with Seville. Angel and Lucy were such attentive hosts. Lucy is an amazing cook and the majority of the food is locally sourced, which gave added connection to our surroundings. The walks in the Sierra were beautiful and relaxing. We had an extra night in Alajar so that we could complete all three walks, but it still felt very short. Finishing our holiday with a late lunch in one of Alajar's restuarants (Meson El Molino) was a cosy and well deserved culinary delight that we will not forget.
We really enjoyed our second walking holiday in the Sierra de Aracena, in spite of very mixed weather: it was extremely hot in Seville and rainy in the mountains. The rain was very welcome, however, in view of the ongoing drought. Ángel and Lucy at Posada San Marcos were as welcoming as ever and a fount of useful information and local knowledge. The village was also wonderfully calm and relaxing after the bustle of the city and local restaurants in Alájar and Linares were exceptionally good, as was Lucy's cooking. On the self-guided walks, we found that some of the signage and waymarks were out of date and these really do need updating in the notes: there are new wooden signposts but some others (for example the sign to El Calabacino) were missing. We'd be happy to go back to review and update the notes for you! Another learning point for us and for Inntravel: the late afternoon/evening flights and local buses meant that three days of our holiday were spent, with bags packed, essentially waiting for travel. In future, we would opt for earlier flights and buses, paying extra if necessary, allowing us more time on arriving at our destination. We didn't have the best experience with British Airways either, both flights departing very late.
Seville was absolutely amazing and probably a 3 night stay is needed. The walks supplied were excellent. Highlights for us were the Cathedral and the Alcazar. The recommendations by the Las Casas del Rey de Baeza staff for tapas bars were superb and near the hotel. The hotel itself was excellent with a beautiful roof top pool which was much appreciated after a hot day sightseeing. We had dinner in the restarrant which was very good. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Alajar was a lovely contrast, accommodation is distinctly rustic. Angel and Lucy were excellent hosts. Angel was a fountain of knowledge which he shared enthusiastically at every opportunity. Lucy provided delicious food all in keeping with local tradition. The walking was easy. For the benefit of future travelers, it is useful to be aware that restaurants in Alajar are not open in the early part of the week and even at the weekend can be variable. We understood from Lucy that this was the after effects of the impact of the Covid pandemic. Similarly the supermarket doesn't open at a set time in the morning.

One of our highlights was a flamenco street performance at the Plaza Espana in Seville. Staying in Seville and then in Aracena Sierra was a really good mix: a bustling city and a rural idyll.
