Emyr Owen, Wales.
September 2008.
"Incredibly quiet roads to explore, varied scenery, friendly Spanish people, excellent accommodation coupled with lovely food made this a memorable holiday for me. What surprised me was the contrast in scenery, from dry flat plains to green forested mountains and of course the lushness of the spectacular Duraton canyon, definitely Spain's secret gem. A well organized holiday where all I had to do was enjoy myself, thank you."
