Trans-Iberian: Cycling Spain´s Ancient via de la plata.
..." our view from those saddles was always arresting, the route expertly chosen to provide us with a snapshot of the area's eclectic terrain, with cars noticeable only by their absence. We rode from mountains embraced by the experienced outdoorsman to pastoral villages, flatter farmland and finally a long, open stretch into Salamanca, dotted with the yellow markers of the Via de la Plata."

There’s no better way to explore southern Spain’s scorching scenery and shimmering tarmac than letting your Vespa do the work
..."With warm air in your face, the sun on your bare arms, it really was a lovely way to travel. You’re closer to the environment in every way, you can smell the soil, hear the birds, watch the road zip past beneath you."
..."El Cortijo Alto de Cariatiz was an old farmhouse surrounded by seven cute cortija, or bungalows, plonked up a hill in the middle of a vast expanse of very little. Once again, the peace was engulfing. After our Italian Job-style journey, we rewarded ourselves with a Spanish beer by the pool, listening to the occasional bleating of goats echoing around the valley."

Segovia: Tour of Beauty
Riding Vespas is exhilarating, and Top Gear types might be tempted to burn up the empty, winding tarmac ribbons. But that would be missing the point, which is to meander and be effortless.

Mum, this is our best holiday in donkey's years
Forget those truculent mules on Blackpool Beach, Clover Stroud finds a donkey makes the perfect companion on a family walking holiday through Spain - amusing the locals, charming the children, and always happy to carry the picnic.

Family time off the beaten trek.
What better way to bond with the kids while getting back to nature than by trekking with donkeys through the Spanish province of Segovia.

On a donkey.
Following in the footsteps of shepherds.
“Go for a walk with a donkey?” Telling a few people about this journey was met with smiles and laughter; then interest. When you explain that the idea is to experience what travelling used to be like and have an adventure, you spark people’s interest.
