mountainWALKS, based in Quatretondeta, Spain. Mountain walks just an hours transfer time from Alicante airport - we did the "Les Valls de la Marina guided walking holiday" in November 2007. This included 6 days guided walking, with a choice of moderate and strenuous walks. Airport transfers and all transportation to and from walks were provided. We had a wonderful time, likewise a group of friends from the Liverpool Ramblers who stayed in April 2007.
