About Us
Moving to Spain was as much of an escape as it was an adventure, after 35 years of living and working in Central London!
A lifelong health & fitness fanatic I spent most of my life as a Group Exercise Instructor and as a Pilates Teacher. When the door to escape the rat race opened, I was first out, and the very idea of living and working in sunny Spain worked like a magnet for me.
The endless sunshine, the spectacular mountain walks, the stunning scenery, the amazing wildlife was calling me. As soon as I arrived I jumped straight into learning the language, found a new home complete with huge wildlife garden.
The mountain walks have touched my soul, I started learning about the history of the mountains and valleys of the Costa Blanca, the people, the culture and of course the Tapas and the Wine.
This is a big wine growing region and there is nothing better than wine and tapas after a fascinating meander along the mountain trails, through the valleys and the quaint mountain villages that seem to transport you back in time to a simpler, more relaxed period, as if described on a page in ancient history book.
Over the last 7 years I have researched, walked and created more than 50 unique walking experiences in and around The Jalon Valley where I live, many of which have been adopted by overseas walking companies for whom I have created specialist walking itineraries for their clients.
I also conduct guided tours for people from the local community, many of which, despite having lived here for many years have never explored the mountain villages or seen the wildlife in the more remote areas, or even tried the extensive, and delicious varieties of Taps and Wine that are available at very modest prices in the mountain villages.
To be honest I can’t imagine doing anything in the world that would fulfil my passion and love of nature more than walking in the sunshine, with people experiencing the real Spain, its stunning scenery, its amazing history and its incredible cuisine for the very first time. Except that is, when I’m out walking with the people who are on their third, fourth or even fifth visit and are still spellbound by the experience!
My aim and that of my team here is to take care of everything for you, and I do mean everything, and to have you relaxed, rejuvenated and fully revived by your walking adventure, and to return home with great memories, new friends, and a truly delightful experience of The Jalon Valley and real Spain.
