Tavira, Pearl of the Algarve
The Algarve has many charms and is ideal for easy walking holidays in Portugal. We stay in a relaxing four-star hotel idyllically located in Tavira one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve dating back to about 2000 BC.

Cruise & Walk around the Canaries
It is our cruises to the Canaries that really show best what Cruise & Walk is all about - a new island each day, real mountain walking, at a time of year when the weather in northern Europe makes a cruise to the warm south seem even more appealing.

Palaces, Castles & Gardens of Sintra
Cooled by the Atlantic breeze and partly shaded by forest, the hot sunny climate of Sintra was the summer residence of Portuguese monarchs for six hundred years. The quiet fascination of Sintra deserves a slower pace, time to sip the wine of European culture touched by the earlier hand of Islamic influence.

Quinta Bonita
Sea breezes and the smell of wild herbs; fishing villages and sandy coves; local food washed down with local wine… who can resist the call of the warm south? Our holiday in this wildly scenic area has been designed by the English owners of the hotel in which we stay. They know the area intimately, and delight in sharing it with their guests.

The Charm of the Azores
Beyond the Pillars of Hercules an island world awaits, on this leisurely walking holiday in the Azores, exploring villages, visiting churches and rambling through the attractive land and seascapes. You’ll become part of the community rather than just a visitor.

The “Floating Garden” of Madeira
Madeira's volcanic origins are evident by the rocky shore line and rugged mountainous interior. Its highest point, Pico Ruivo, at nearly 1800m, looks out over a mass of peaks and a violently formed landscape. Over the years Madeira has been described as the "pearl of the Atlantic" and "the floating garden"
