I’m seeing a trend to hiking festivals where you can learn about local culture. This new event in Spain includes: Olive Harvest & Virgin Oil Production, Andalucian Cookery Classes, Pottery, Bodega Wine Tasting Tour, Oil Painting and several more.
February 26 – March 4, 2012
Malaga Airport, Spain
The White Mountain Village of El Burgo plays hosts to the first Andalucian International Walking & Cultural Festival.
Guided walks will explore the surrounding olive groves and beyond to the stunning Nature Park of Sierra de las Nieves. Take part in a wide variety of activities as well as colourful local fiestas including Andalucia Day and the celebration of Carnaval.
The whole thing is an invention of a company, Frontier Holidays. Looks like fun to me.
While you’re in Andalucia, be sure to stop by the blue Smurf village of Júzcar.
