What To Expect

1

Calles

Our journey starts with a relaxing coffee in the delightful village of Calles, a hidden gem nestled in the Spanish countryside. Stroll through its charming streets and take in the sights, including the impressive historic church and the quirky, much-loved “Frog Fountain”, a favorite among locals and visitors alike. It’s the perfect way to ease into the day and soak up the authentic charm of rural Spain.

Ruta del agua

We begin our walk along the Fluvial section, a stunning riverside trail where you’ll experience the beauty of fast-flowing rapids, the refreshing sounds of nature, and rich historical sights. Along the way, we’ll visit a 19th-century mill that hides a surprising and colorful mural inside, and explore ancient caves once used for food storage during the Arabic era—an atmospheric step back in time. Wander through a tranquil corridor of eucalyptus trees, soaking in the fresh forest air, before we pause beside the river to enjoy a peaceful picnic lunch surrounded by nature

    Howard was very kind and full of knowledge of this area. He looked after us all and paced the walk to suit our needs. The town Chelva was fun to walk around and Howard ensured we had a nice lunch. He is a great guide!

    A beautifully scenic hike with lots of variety. It was a bit scary to cross the aqueduct but also a bit of a thrill. It’s not really dangerous as it’s as it’s wider than a sidewalk, but still unnerving. Howard was a great guide, providing lots of information about the history of the area as well as being good fun to hangout with. The swimming hole along the Ruta de Agua was an idyllic little place to jump in and cool off for a bit.

  • Fantastic hike

    This hike was amazing. The scenery was great and walking through Chelva was like stepping back in time. Our guide, Howard, was a wealth of knowledge and so fun to talk to. You do need to really be prepared to hike - I think it was about 9 miles! Would absolutely book a tour with them again.

  • Fantastic day in the hills
