Picos Walking Holiday » Quotes

"We had a great holiday in the Picos de Europa. Thank you very much."

"The program of walks was varied and interesting and gave an excellent introduction to rural Cantabria & Asturias. Alex was delightful and of a cheerful and pleasant disposition, providing some useful help, advice and encouragement."

"We had a great time. As usual Pura's organisation was excellent as were the hotels and walks and Alex really was an exceptionally good guide. We fell in love with the Picos and plan to return."

"Great holiday enjoyed the walking Alex was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable."

"Having just returned from the Picos, I wanted to let you know that we had a great time and that all your arrangements were excellent. Both the hotels were charming and in Alex, we couldn't have had a better guide and companion to show us around and to provide plenty of insights on so many different things. We did walks and saw places off the beaten track that we certainly wouldn't have got to on our own. Thank you for making this possible - it has certainly whetted our appetite for more!"

"Pura are an excellent company with the needs of the client as the number one priority. The staff are excellent from start to finish and the standards of the information packs are the best I have ever experienced. Nothing is ever too much trouble. This was a wonderful holiday that went smoothly from start to finish. Alex was an excellent guide, he took us to some of the most beautiful areas I have ever visited it certainly opened my eyes to a part of Spain everyone should experience. The picnic lunches have to be seen to be believed, he always chose locally produced food and I didnt think one rucksack could provide so much food! In the evenings he took us to restaurants you wouldnt necessarily find if you were by yourself and he was on hand to advise on good dishes (and wines). The accomodation was 1st class and ran by wonderful people who knew how to provide comfort and maintain that family run feel. We have now been on two pura holidays and are looking forward to our third and continue to recommend the company to our friends."

"The food, particularly the picnics, was first class and we much enjoyed sampling the local food. Our posada near Potes was especially good with wonderful views. Lovely to have a bath to soak in after a hard day's walk."
