| About Us |
Dan and Amy fell in love with this stunning region; the amazing scenery, the rugged walking and the diverse plant and wildlife and so, after visiting las Alpujarras, settled here in 2005. Ibex Trex Walking Holidays was then set up, in order for them to share this beautiful and mainly untouched area with like-minded walkers, and wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts alike. We want you to enjoy an excellent holiday in this beautiful region of Spain, so we have worked very hard in building relationships with local hotels, that we have hand picked for our holidays, local food producers to give us the best locally sourced food for our excellent lunches and have intergrated into the local community, employing local Spanish guides when needed. Come and let us show you this fantastic area!! |


Ibex Trex walking and wildlife holidays is a small company based in the largely unspoilt region of Las Alpujarras in Granada, Andalucia in Southern Spain.
