Walking Holidays in Europe

About Us

Catalan Adventures is a  fully licensed and insured Spanish Tour Operator. Their team are all native English speakers, who live locally and speak Spanish. All guests booked with Catalan Adventures are fully protected for the initial deposit and subsequent balance of all payments made to them prior to your holiday.

Catalan Adventures was established in 2006 by Steve and Maria, a British couple living in the village of Castelló d`Empuriés in north east Catalonia.

With regards to their backgrounds, during Steve’s military service (1990 to 1998) he gained a considerable amount of hill and fell walking experience after completing several military expeditions, as well as many days walking the hills and fells of the Brecon Beacons and the Lake District in his spare time.

Maria gained a similar amount of experience during that period through the TA and in her spare time with friends.

They met in 1998 and for many years they spent as much of their spare time as possible  walking the hills and fells of England, Scotland and Wales.

For the last 6 years they have lived, walked and cycled extensively all over the region. During this period they have developed an excellent knowledge of the animal and plant life as well as the wonderful history and rich culture of this region.

They love meeting the people who come on their holidays. For them it’s all about giving you a fantastic  holiday you’ll always remember, a chance to meet new friends and hopefully you’ll come back time and time again.

They also have Brian and Sheridan
Brian has walked and cycled extensively all over the region and loves to work as a guide on our walking and cycling holidays. He’s got a great working knowledge of the region and its wonderful history. If he’s not out walking he can be found at our local parachute centre jumping out of planes for fun.

Sheridan loves the outdoors too. As well as working as a guide she likes to swim, run, mountain bike, skydive and ride her cross country motorbike. She loves working as a guide with us and meeting our guests. She too has a good working knowledge of this region.

And of course Jack …. he accompanies them on all their guided walks and is a great companion to have.

    • A fantastic holiday, great break for us both as the time spend on the bikes meant the blackbery had to be packed away. The area is great for cycling, not too challenging for the more leisurely cyclist, but with enough lumps & bumps to get the heart rate going at times for those wanting a [...]

    • Thanks again for making our first venture into self guided walking holidays a true success. Your attention to detail was very reassuring and we very much enjoyed the variety of both the walking & the accommodation, a surprise each day! This will be the first of many such holidays but a hard act to follow.

    • Thank you for a really great “adventure” in Catalonia last week. Your conscientious planning and care made our holiday a challenge that was so rewarding. We have travelled throughout North West, Mid and Southern Spain but the areas of Catalonia we experienced last week were breathtaking and unforgettable. Thank you so much!

    • This was a holiday to remember. A self guided walk offering better support and more value than the competition. The notes and directions left no room for argument and for a long standing couple in their sixties this was some achievement. The cliff top walks were stunningly beautiful to a degree that conquered vertigo but [...]

    • Really wonderful! It exceeded my expectations. Steve could not have been more helpful in coordinating and supporting us in this holiday. We loved the places we stayed, enjoyed the people and small towns. The food was excellent. The hikes we great. I felt like we really got to see the country and small communities.

    • Thanks again for a truly great holiday. We think its a wonderful format that you have created. It’s hard to believe that we did so much and saw so many places in just one week. It just wouldn’t be feasible, to try and do it yourselves.

    • Your efforts in planning every aspect of our cycling tour really made it a perfect week. Our accommodations were great with wonderful rooms and delicious breakfasts. The full-suspension mountain bikes (equipped with a Garmin GPS) were perfect for the terrain that we covered and your attention to detail on the directions, along with pictures at [...]

    • We had the most enjoyable walking holiday from start to finish – our first abroad. We were a little apprehensive before we started but this soon disappeared. Your attention to detail was excellent, the accommodation and food wonderful, and the walks each day very interesting and varied.

    • Thanks for a brilliant week! The 6 day coast walk is an excellent choice for anyone who likes a mix of great walks (the coast to Cadaques & the last one over the ridge via castle & monastery were my favourites) in stunning scenery, with loads of interest en route- archaeology, charming medieval & seaside [...]

    • Most memorable? The unexpected; walks, scenery, accommodation & food. Different & varied every day… Steve has thought of everything & is willing to help out in any way possible. He met us personally on arrival and his welcome meeting was really useful. The walking route instructions made it impossible to get lost.
