Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
What kind of luggage should I take?
There's really no restiction, whatever feels comfortable for you. Whether that's a wheelie case or a rucksack, you won't be carrying it too far so don't worry!
Amanda Ceraolo - Product Manager
Exodus client Phillip Beck travelled to the Picos and you can read his article here to get a personal viewpoint of the holiday.
Is it possible to have a day off during the holiday?
Yes, this trip is centre based so if you would prefer to take off any of the days, you're free to do your own thing. Obviously we hope you'll take advantage of all that is on offer, but it's still a holiday, not a forced march!

What is the food like in the Picos?
Great! You will usually get a packed lunch - bagette, fruit and chocolate for example. For dinner, they rustle up some lovely, homemade local dishes each evening. You will also usually dine out at a local restuarant one night of the week for some local flavour!

What is the hotel Torrecerredo like?
The Torrecerredo is a small family run hotel, and the only hotel in Arenas with views of the highest peaks. It has a very pleasant garden terrace attached to the café bar and the panoramic restaurant gives views right up to the mountains. All rooms have ensuite facilities and the hotel is situated in a rural setting, a five minute walk from the centre of the village, which is well serviced with banks, cafes and shops.
Rachel George - Customer Operations
Do I need to take walking poles?
If you are used to walking with poles then you can take them with you. They are not essential though and the walk is manageable without them. It is personal preference but do remember to pack them as part of your main luggage to be stowed in the hold.
