Have just broken my wrist- in 4 weeks we are due to go on a hiking holiday in southern Spain.


I am waiting to hear from the tour group but it may not be the most sensible thing to do.


We will still have the flights though, so I wondered if anyone could make a recommendation for a holiday in that vicinity that would depend on driving (partner doesn't) and would cater somewhat for the restless people we are...

Yeah, it's just hiking, all our bags transported, so that's a plus.

It's not just that I might not be comfortable - I agree, I think ill be fine-


But it involves some sierras hiking, and I don't know whether scrambling about uphill and down in the middle of rural Spain is very sensible when you're already vulnerable.


I have a 13mo son and more than anything need to make sure I don't break my arm or leg!

One option would be to find a smaller town along the Costa del Sol and rent an apartment for a week to stay in - there should be buses going across to various towns. I would say go east from Malaga rather than west, but that's because I really like Nerja (very English in some ways, but you can still have a great Spanish experience if you speak Spanish and stay away from the obvious places) - large enough town to do things and easy enough to walk around without needing a car. Alternately rent an apartment in one of the villages in the hills if you prefer that to the beach, though they'll generally have less to do. Hopefully someone on the forum has suggestions about really special places as we'd like to go there next year - no more holidays this year, alas!


Or you could take the train or bus to Granada (you have to make a connection for the train) or Sevilla and make it into a touristy holiday. Both cities don't require a car and are a lot of fun. With the Alhambra in Granada you will need to book very soon as the tickets tend to get sold out for the summer months.


Hope you heal soon!

It's not quite what either of you are after (transport probably necessary/essential, not nerja!) but padre de aviles is awesome for a relaxed break. In the mountins about 20m from Malaga, 15 mins to the beach, Malaga center is lovely, access to some of the costa del sol fun (we def went to a zoo somewhere?). We went with our then 14m old son and had a lovely 2 weeks a couple of years ago...

Don't do costa del sol do costa de la luz. Stay in Vejer de la frontera. Fabulous place. Beaches 10 mins away. Cadiz 20. Seville an hour. If u do decide nerja, frigiliana much nicer place to stay. There's a great 2 bedroom house in the old part of the village on owners direct.

    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated. 
    • Hi, I’m looking for a small garden table and 2 chairs used but in good condition, ideally one you’d like to get rid of 😊 Chairs need to be sturdy so that she can sit on these safely!  Thanks in advance for her!
    • Is what true? That the student units part of this development that hasn't yet been built is going to fall vacant because there's such a collapse in the number of students in London that they can't rent the units out, and then the Labour government is going to appropriate them to house them asylum seekers? Is that what you're asking is true?
