You will need to bring the following:
* Walking boots
* Day Rucksack (25-30 litres)
* Walking poles (if you have them and use them, but they are not essential) Can be tried out and purchased from Carrascal
* Sun hat (optional, but desirable from May – November)
* Sun Block * Flask (if you have one, otherwise we will supply water bottles)
* Reserve of warm clothing * Light waterproof jacket (just in case)
* Light windproof anorak and trousers
Often it will be warm enough to walk in shorts, however, some of the local vegetation is short and spiky so you should be aware that shorts will provide little protection against this.
Our principal guide is a retired G.P. and our secondary guide a retired nurse, so both are eminently qualified to deal with any medical care required. First aid kits and communication links to the emergency services will be carried on all walks.
It is advisable that you take out insurance that will be adequate to cover all anticipated activities during your stay with us. Copies of your insurance policy information and cover details will be required prior to taking part in any guided activities with us. We also strongly recommend that you obtain an E111 medical form which should be carried at all times. Personal Injury We accept no liability for the death of, or personal injury, to any persons on their holidays, nor for any loss or damage resulting therefrom unless caused by the proven negligence of Casa Carrascal or its associates . We accept no responsibility for strikes, war, sickness, acts of God etc. over which we have no control.
British Citizens require a full UK passport to enter Spain, but no visa is required. Other nationalities should consult the Spanish Consulate.
