There are so many reasons to travel in May but this year, as well as flowers and festivals, dancing or romancing, we would like to mark UNESCO’s Day of Living Together in Peace (16 May). As a responsible travel company, we believe fundamentally in tourism as a promoter of peace, and also as a way […]
“April, come she will, when streams are ripe and swelled with rain” sang Simon and Garfunkel and, indeed she will. So too does Easter, which falls early this year on 9 April, with many school holidays stretching into the middle of the month. So, whether you are choosing to join the Easter festivities or time […]
It’s been a long winter of wrapping ourselves in duvets and dreams. March is knocking at the door, however, with its longer days and snippets of spring. So, don’t go down a rabbit hole in March – go a bit mad instead and treat yourself to a spring break. If you think it’s time to […]
The reality is that life is not always just like riding a bike, even on a cycling holiday. Before you go, you do need to dust off your bike, get the wheels turning, your blood pumping and your heart yearning. A cycling holiday shouldn’t be a boot camp, more of a bliss out camp, and […]
February is one of those slightly strange in-betweeny months for some of us. Winter is still hovering, new year’s resolutions are waning and yet the wider world is calling. Schools have sussed it in fact, taking a week off in February because they know that we are all in need of a winter pick-me-up. So […]
The one thing we don’t want you to stress about is stuff. We pride ourselves on offering walking holidays that are good value but also sustainable. You don’t need to splash out on lots of new gear when preparing for your walking holiday but there are a few key things that you need to ensure […]
Be gone walking holiday worries! It’s a holiday after all, not a Bear Grylls test of your strength of character and the most important thing is that it brings you pleasure. And that includes the prep phase. Yes, we have regular hikers on our holidays who are Alpine aficionados, or Camino connoisseurs. They may be […]
We are all hoping for a year of optimism and outdoor adventure, peaceful escapes and, crucially, peace in Ukraine. We may not all be in a fireworks mood this year, but many are putting their best foot forward for a positive start to 2023. That may mean planning a healthy escape and having something adventurous […]
How it started It’s nearly a wrap on 2022, a year when so many of us relished that feeling of freedom again. For nearly two years, we had walked and cycled close to home and then, thankfully, the tracks and trails were suddenly open again. How many times, during lockdown, did you ask yourself, friends and […]
As the year draws to a close, a year of recovery and then rediscovery for many, it has been a joy for us all at The Natural Adventure to witness people embarking on adventures again. It has also been interesting to see which were the most popular places to travel this year, once the borders […]
We are over the moon that our team is growing rapidly and, as always, we are lucky to have adventurers from all over Europe to keep the wheels turning, and keep our customers yearning. As many of us head home for Christmas, we thought we’d share a few thoughts about our favourite places to walk […]
Felicidades to all our Spanish friends, from hoteliers to wine makers, Gomerans to Galicians, for making 2022 a very Spanish celebration for our natural adventurers. It proved to be the top place to go in a year where some people were just dipping toes back into the world of cycling or walking holidays in Spain, […]
