Breathe out

You know that feeling when your shoulders finally drop? This is a week of that.

High above the Costa Blanca, far from the sunbeds, the Sierra de Aitana rises to 1558 metres, the highest point in the province of Alicante. Up here it's pine scented trails, almond terraces, warm September sun and views that stretch all the way to the Mediterranean. Below sits Guadalest, a tiny castle village balanced on a rock above a turquoise lake, which looks too pretty to be real.

No inbox. No school run. No one asking what's for tea. Just you, the mountains and a group of brilliant women who'll feel like old friends by day two.

Your week

Seven nights and six days of walking at a steady, sociable pace. You'll be out on the trail for a good few hours each day, with hills enough to feel like you've earned your dinner, but never so much that you can't enjoy the view.

Our experienced local guides lead the way, and Shadi treks alongside you the whole time, from the first climb to the last cool drink at the end of the day. One evening, we head into Guadalest for a tasting dinner as the sun sets over the valley.

It's a challenge, but a gentle one. If you can walk for a few hours with a smile on your face, you can do this.

Come home different

This isn't a holiday where you need another holiday to recover. You'll come home stronger, calmer and lighter, with a head full of mountain air and a phone full of photos you'll actually want to look at.

Come solo or bring your best friend. Either way, you won't walk alone.

Ready to escape?

Places are small by design, so every woman is looked after.
