Sierra De Gredos - Spain

Castles of the Gredos Mountains

4 star rating 24 August 2019

Diane (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) It was a slow ride but this had been flagged up before we booked the holiday, however, sometimes it was two hours + of walking before we changed pace and for me it did become a bit monotonous. However, we really enjoyed the long stops after lunch giving time to chill out or swim in the nearby rivers, absolutely gorgeous.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Accommodation was comfortable, always very clean, excellent evening meals, breakfast variable but I realise that it is not such an important meal in Spain.
Mamen's meals at lunchtime (and tapas half way through each morning) were absolutely fantastic, such delicious authentic food and she catered so well for me as a non-meat eater.
