Have just broken my wrist- in 4 weeks we are due to go on a hiking holiday in southern Spain.


I am waiting to hear from the tour group but it may not be the most sensible thing to do.


We will still have the flights though, so I wondered if anyone could make a recommendation for a holiday in that vicinity that would depend on driving (partner doesn't) and would cater somewhat for the restless people we are...

Yeah, it's just hiking, all our bags transported, so that's a plus.

It's not just that I might not be comfortable - I agree, I think ill be fine-


But it involves some sierras hiking, and I don't know whether scrambling about uphill and down in the middle of rural Spain is very sensible when you're already vulnerable.


I have a 13mo son and more than anything need to make sure I don't break my arm or leg!

One option would be to find a smaller town along the Costa del Sol and rent an apartment for a week to stay in - there should be buses going across to various towns. I would say go east from Malaga rather than west, but that's because I really like Nerja (very English in some ways, but you can still have a great Spanish experience if you speak Spanish and stay away from the obvious places) - large enough town to do things and easy enough to walk around without needing a car. Alternately rent an apartment in one of the villages in the hills if you prefer that to the beach, though they'll generally have less to do. Hopefully someone on the forum has suggestions about really special places as we'd like to go there next year - no more holidays this year, alas!


Or you could take the train or bus to Granada (you have to make a connection for the train) or Sevilla and make it into a touristy holiday. Both cities don't require a car and are a lot of fun. With the Alhambra in Granada you will need to book very soon as the tickets tend to get sold out for the summer months.


Hope you heal soon!

It's not quite what either of you are after (transport probably necessary/essential, not nerja!) but padre de aviles is awesome for a relaxed break. In the mountins about 20m from Malaga, 15 mins to the beach, Malaga center is lovely, access to some of the costa del sol fun (we def went to a zoo somewhere?). We went with our then 14m old son and had a lovely 2 weeks a couple of years ago...

Don't do costa del sol do costa de la luz. Stay in Vejer de la frontera. Fabulous place. Beaches 10 mins away. Cadiz 20. Seville an hour. If u do decide nerja, frigiliana much nicer place to stay. There's a great 2 bedroom house in the old part of the village on owners direct.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
