  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  For me it'd be coasting down an almost traffic-free mountain road on a bicycle after a hard slog uphill or an early morning walk leading to a beautiful view across a flower covered meadow down into the valley. Climbing and canoeing were exciting and satisfying activities and the kids adored the caving. Our only regret was that we didn't have enough time to try out the canyoning.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Victor, our leader, was very experienced and friendly and made the trip very enjoyable. He made sure that all abilities were catered for and had loads of knowledge of the area and about the activities. We shouldn't forget Pilar and Jim, the hotel's owners, who were very flexible with how the activites were arranged the week we were there because of some changeable weather. The other hotel staff were also friendly and accommodating, especially when it came to catering for the kids.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Have a go at a few things you wouldn't normally try. If you don't want your week absolutely crammed full of activities you can relax at the hotel, go into the village or take a walk in the nearby hills. The coast and dinosaur museum are both worth visiting and the sea good for swimming.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  This is the second Exodus holiday we've taken and have been highly satisfied with both, and are confident that the third we have already booked will also be enjoyable.

  The 4 Cs

  

  Written September 2007

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Our children really enjoyed the 4 Cs (climbing, canyoning, caving & canoeing). Canyoning was probably the biggest thrill.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Excellent. Very knowledgeable, both about the area and about the activities offered.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  The Cares Gorge walk is not for the faint hearted – 12.5k in each direction. Take lots of water!!  The minimum suggested age of 5 years is too young unless you want to carry them!!The day at the beach is billed as “for the younger kids” but our children 18,16 and 9 had a great time; the surf at the beach was excellent – take a body board! (The dinosaur museum and the fossil footprints at the beach were worth seeing too.)

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  The hotel / group leaders kept the itinerary very flexible, changing activities around according to the weather. You need to be adaptable if you are not planning to join in activities every day as the activity of the day may change.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Jim and Pilar are great hosts who made sure our family had a great time.

  
  

  We caved with Jim - an amazing experience and we had total confidence in crawling into a hole that was about the size of a gallon bucket! Pilar led us along the Cares Gorge through wonderful scenery and we canyoned, climbed, kayaked and mountain biked through a fantastic week. The first of the summer holiday and probably one of the most memorable.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Great hosts, very knowledgeable and Jim thought nothing of jumping in his car and circum-navigating the cycle route to find our daughter and a friend who did a "little detour!!"  

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Try everything! Including Yoga with Neil - a real expert. You'll have a fab time.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Food at Jim and Pilar's was delicious and we varied the week by eating in the village too. Recommendations from Jim and Pilar resulted in food to get excited about!
