Seville day trip to Caminito del Rey: guided cliff walk, new suspension bridge, Osuna stop, plus round-trip transport from Seville.

The hike itself was fascinating and the guide Pedro made it even better. He told us interesting facts in a humurous way. Would definitely recommend to include this daytrip when going to Sevilla.”

4.Montserrat Monastery & Scenic Mountain Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 978 reviews · 6 hours · from $74

Guided Montserrat monastery, funicular ride to panoramic views, and a short pilgrim hike from Barcelona in a small group.

“Awesome tour. Loved taking the funicular up the mountain and hiking down. Amazing views. Improvements: needed a way to reach tour guide. I got lost and was only 3 minutes away but no way to contact him or the company. Also the van was very small. I could not get comfortable or move one inch as we were so crammed in there. Glad there weren’t any really large people. Juan was an excellent driver though.”

7.Caminito del Rey: Guided Hiking Tour with Entrance Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 711 reviews · 3 hours · from $46Best value

Walk the restored Caminito del Rey with a guide, entrance ticket, and helmet. 3 hours, 7.7 km, El Chorro Gorge views in Andalusia.

“Absolutely beautiful scenery. Not for the sedentary, as it was a 3-4 mile walk and rugged terrain. Also if you are afraid of heights, you might by pass. We went on a tour of both English and Spanish. The guide was great and made his rounds to everyone in the group. He made everyone feel welcome and was very knowledgeable about the tour. We were a little confused about how to get back to the starting point (5 miles by road back). You take a bus which was 1-2 Euros per person, so take money. Take lots of water and a small snack. This tour was one of my favorites…”

We couldn’t have asked for better weather with a breathtaking view of not only the caldera, and Tenerife italef bit of the neighbouring islands and even El Hierro in the distance. Well worth the effort to get to the top. The walk to the viewing point of Pico Viejo was excellent to. A beautiful crater. Highly recommended”

Hike Los Cahorros in Granada’s Monachil canyon on a small English group walk with bridges, tunnels, and guided nature talk.

“Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing walk through the canyons is a trip worth making. Julio our guide was excellent and made sure we were all confident and safe throughout the hike. He explained how to traverse any difficult areas clearly and ensure we all followed instructions for our safety. We are both fit and active people and so didn't find it too difficult. There are some scary moments when you are gripping onto the side of the canyon but a bit of an adrenaline rush does you good! All in all we had a great time and would highly recommend to all who enjoy a bit of a hike and need…”

15.Early Morning Montserrat Trip with Abbey and Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 297 reviews · 7 hours · from $79

Early van to Montserrat, skip crowds at the Abbey and Black Madonna, then hike with locals and return to Barcelona by 13:30.

“Getting to Montserrat early morning is the best. Beat the crowds and almost beat the heat! The trails were beautiful. Our guide Alberto was so helpful. Very detailed and always on time. He gave great descriptions as to where to go and how to get there. Our small group of 7 decided to go separate directions and everyone had a great time. Montserrat is so quiet and peaceful early morning and stark contrast to our departure time. As we took the cable car down we were blessed again to be the only ones going down beside the operator!! Nothing like the sardines that were unpacked on their afternoon arrival. If…”
