Travel with us on this fantastic sun holiday to Spain, where we will enjoy the southern region's breathtaking scenery, great weather and the unbeatable culture of Andalucía. We’ll stay in the delightful seaside town of Nerja, approximately 50km east of Malaga, and the perfect jumping off point to explore this region! From our base in Nerja, we will explore the olive groves of Lecrín or the ‘Valley of Joy’, and the Andalucian towns of Malaga and Frigiliana. A full-day excursion to the historic city of Granada, the last stronghold of the Moors in Western Europe and home to the spectacular Alhambra Palace complex, will be a sure highlight. You’ll also have plenty of free time in Nerja for relaxing on the panoramic ‘Balcón de Europa’ or exploring the atmospheric whitewashed streets of the town.
Please Note: Some excursions on this holiday will involve walking on hilly terrain and uneven surfaces.

Lecrín - The Valley of Joy
Visit to Lecrín
Full Day
Today you will visit a delightful hidden valley, El Valle de Lecrín, which is well off the beaten track and feels like it's been frozen in time. This peaceful area is practically untouched by tourism and retains much of its local charm. After a short drive from Lanjarón, you will reach the town of Veluz de Benaudalla, which is located in the heart of the Andalucian countryside. Here you will visit a museum dedicated to the production of olive oil for which this area is famed. You will have the opportunity to taste some of the olive oil before visiting the town of Salobreña. Its beaches and pleasant temperatures make it an ideal all-year-round destination.

Afterwards, continue to Frigiliana which is a beautiful white village, often voted as one of the prettiest in Spain. Here, in a quaint family-run bodega you can taste the special dessert wine which is produced only in Frigiliana, along with other local specialities such as fig bread and sugar-cane honey. After this, we will take a quiet stroll down its narrow, flower-lined streets and spend a while at leisure in the village until it is time to return to the hotel.
