Based on 40 years knowledge of the region, these walks are a unique anthology and take advantage of the recent development of marked paths as well as locally sourced traditional rights of way.  Walks range from 3 to 6 hours in length and have wikiloc tracks and raster maps to accompany detailed directions.

Ronda Romantica Wednesday 23rd to Sunday 27th

The annual May Feria in Ronda is actually the second oldest fair in Andalucia. It celebrates the historical and cultural significance of the whole of the Serranía and so all the surrounding villages take part in some way. There are food and artisanal markets as well as planned activities throughout the 5 days. On Friday our town hall is offering a free coach to the Feria which departs from Socorro at 430 returning at 11pm. Anyone interested should put their name down by Thursday but please note that only those dressed in clothes of the era can get on the town hall bus! Please see the website http://ronda-romantica.es/  for more info and also the town hall poster below. 


The Hunky Doris live on Friday 25th at 10pmOur very own David Bowie tribute band will be playing at the gasolinera so if you don’t fancy the Ronda trip here is another very different option! Please see poster below.
