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 really liked the combinaton of time in Seville and walking in the hills of the Aracena Sierra. The walks were very easy and staying at La Poseda de Sam Marcos de was a joy. Their efforts on sustainable tourism to reduce water and electricy use are to be applauded, along with provising a homely feel and much piece and quiet. We took the bus from Seville which was very easy and had no need for a car even though we extended our stay to 5 nights.
We added extra nights to make this a full week, with 3 full days in Alajar for walking. Overall this was an excellent holiday - Seville was a magic place to visit and the suggested walks here worked very well despite queues for the major attractions, all of which were worth the effort (although sadly a good percentage of the gardens in the Pilatos House were closed). We used taxis to/from the airport - relatively cheap and very efficient and convenient. The bus transfer to Aracena worked well - it really is worth booking tickets in advance either from UK or via your hotel. In Seville we stayed at Las Casas de la Juderia, the alternative hotel - obviously we don't know what the other one is like, but ours was really excellent - great location, very helpful staff and a lovely room. The Posada de San Marcos in Alajar is also a real find - the owners are very informative and helpful, and enthusiastic about the local area and traditions; they also have recommendations for extra walks if you have the time. We ate in on one evening and the food was really good, as were the breakfasts. One real must here is combining one of the walks with lunch at Mesón Arrieros in Linares - one of the best meals I've had on a walking trip and in a lovely restaurant (which seems very used to people in walking gear!). Overall this was a great break, combining a lively and fascinating city with some great walking in a less well known area.
We loved this holiday. The contrast between the buzz of the City and the serenity of the country made for a brilliant experience.
Seville is a wonderful city with so much to see. Our 2 nights there, at the lovely La Casas del Rey de Baeza, were split over the beginning and end of the holiday. I would strongly recommend you book in advance for the Alcázar and jump the queues which were quite horrendous when we were there. The ticketing website is in Spanish only so if, like me, your Spanish isn't that good, I would enlist the help of the hotel at some point. We were extremely lucky on our final night in Seville where we had booked dinner at the hotel which turned out to be a flamenco night. As we also received a surprise room upgrade this was the icing on the cake as far as we were concerned.
Alájar was also lovely and we were glad that we added a 3rd night and we did all 3 walks that were included in our notes. Lucy and Angel are lovely hosts. Lucy is an excellent cook and her dinners are first class. There are quite a few restaurants in the village but most tend to be open at the end of the week; we were there at the beginning. We ate on 1 of the nights at Casa Cruz which was nice but the portions served are huge - sharing is good. Angel is very knowledgeable about the area as is Lucy.
As always the organisation by Inntravel was first class and their walking notes detailed and easy to follow. We've lost count of the number of Inntravel holidays we've been on (over 15 I think) but this is another one we'd recommend.

Our second walk, up the hills overlooking Alajar, was one of the best we've done. We heard woodpeckers, saw Griffon vultures, beautiful wildflowers, ancient oaks and chestnut trees and breathtaking view. We felt like we had the whole of Andalusia to ourselves. The weather was perfect and we returned to a fantastic home-cooked meal made with seasonal, local produce, then sat on our sunny terrace with a glass of sherry. Heaven!
