This is a group for people interested in discovering secret and lesser-known places in Spain and enjoying various activities. Even for those who, in passing, want to PRACTICE SPANISH (and other languages) as we will bring people from all over the World and Expats in Madrid and in Spain through our groups " Secrets of Spain & Secretos de España " so they can get to know and enjoy what they miss in Spain because it's not what the big tour operators sell.

We will have all kinds of activities, from hiking, food/wine tasting routes, castles, waterfalls, boat trips, rock climbing, kayaking, Spanish regional parties, cultural cities in Spain, etc. All skill levels are welcome. I am British but grew up in Spain and started this group to meet other outdoor activity/adventure enthusiasts who want to explore idyllic secret (or lesser-known) places and enjoy outdoor activities in our sunny Spain.

I am in communion with nature, was a Spanish Boy Scout from a very young age, and later joined the Spanish Marine Corps Special Forces (so you'll be safe and well taken care of wherever we go😉) I am leading this group with the help of friends who are members of our old group called "Avalanche," based in Spain, and also with the help of experts in the Spanish and UK travel industry.

Welcome to having a great time hiking and traveling with charm!
We will go to the most idyllic places to do outdoor activities: canoeing, rafting, skiing, horseback riding…

We will enjoy the best local gastronomy and wines and the best parties in Spain like: ARDE LUCUS!

You will be able to practice languages: on some trips, we will bring people from London, a very cosmopolitan city, where people from all over the world live!
We will travel abroad, from express trips, long weekends, weeks, fortnights... to foreign parties, Christmas markets…

You will get to know the most beautiful and lesser-known or well-kept secrets of Spain and abroad! We design Charming Trips, not what the major tour operators sell, and at the best prices. We don't sell hiking or trips: WE GIVE AWAY EXPERIENCES!
