Nordic Walking in Seville

There are so many benefits to our group Nordic Walking holidays, from engaging your core and supporting your joints to reconnecting with yourself and becoming immersed in beautiful landscapes. Because of this, we knew we had to find the perfect place to launch our new Nordic Walking weeks – locations that would inspire, offer stunning scenery and have the right terrain for our daily sessions.

For us, there’s nowhere quite like Sierra de Huelva, a mountainous region in the western part of Andalusia, just an hour away from the vibrant city of Seville. Think undulating hills for as far as the eye can see, covered in lush forest, flora and fauna, interspersed with Mediterranean pastures. Three main rivers are running through this section of Andalusia, Ribera del Chanza, Múrtigas and Ribera de Huelva, which provide idyllic scenes to walk beside.

A uniquely charming feature of this region is the smattering of traditional, white-washed villages that cling to the hillsides. Their terracotta roofs stand out against the surrounding greenery, and during our walks we’ll explore those closest to our accommodation, treading centuries-old cobbled streets and marvelling at the ornate churches in the town centres. It’s a rare chance to see a completely different type of life, with historic traditions that have been preserved since before the Romans. Culture, history, art – it’s all here for you to experience.

Your home for the week will be Villa Rio Tinto, a traditional, family-owned farmhouse surrounded by 1000 acres of land. Stand-out features include those views, looking out over the stretching Jabugo region, an outdoor pool and lovely décor, like carved, four-poster beds. Experienced Pilates and Nordic Walking instructor will be leading daily sessions across the week, helping you to feel happy and healthy with a mix of low-impact exercise, plenty of toning and stretching.

It wouldn’t be a Flavours holiday without fantastic food and drinks, so while we’ll be looking after our bodies, we won’t be neglecting our tastebuds, either! After all, it’s all about balance. Your local, private chef will be whipping up authentic Spanish cuisine for you every day. We particularly love evenings spent enjoying a glass of sparkling wine as the sun sets over the hills.
