Reluctant walkers

Having a friendly donkey along for the ride is the perfect way to distract children from the toil of walking, and Inntravel are now offering a family walking holiday in the Spanish countryside, covering ancient drovers’ trails in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama. Each day, you move from one rural hotel to the next, passing forests, fairytale castles, canyons, caves and waterfalls. From £956 per adult and £720 per child, including seven nights’ B&B, six dinners, three picnics, four days with the donkey and two days car hire.
