Take the Family

Take the family on an activity packed week in the Sierra Aitana, a mountain region near Alicante. Parents and children can go mountain-biking, sea kyaking, abseiling and caving. No experience is required.

Stay at an attractive farmhouse overlooking olive groves and orchards near the village of Sella. You can do a new activity or excursion each day - a ferry trip to the small fortified island of Tabarca, a walk led by a local shepherd and his goats, chances to savour traditional village life, helping to pick fruit and press olives.

Stay in a Castle

Head for the hills, forests and Medieval towns of the Gerona area of catalonia.

One of the finest palaces to stay in is the four-star Castell d'Emporda, a beautifully restored 14th century castle, with towering views over the surrounding countryside.

Relax

Formentera is a laid-back island only a half hour boat ride from Ibiza. It has sugar-white sand beaches lapped by clear turquoise waters and a few flat roads where you can ride a rental bike to explore a salt lagoon, a nature reserve and a hippy market. The susets are not to be missed.

Learn to Skydive
You can skydive after only two days' training. Jumping out of a moving aircraft is a thrilling heart-in-the-mouth experience. Jumping 12000ft and free-falling solo for 90 seconds over the foothills of the Pyrenees , a glorous mountain scenery. The two days of skydiving - ground training, tandem jump then solo jump. There are also three days of ground-based activities including mountain biking, canoning and white water rafting.
