ULTRA TRAIL SPAIN - Running Holidays

18/04/2026

We've been up to something new.... and we're excited to finally share it. 🎥

We've created a YouTube channel, CaminoRun, where we're fastpacking and hiking the great routes of Andalusia and filming everything along the way. Our first series, the Camino Mozárabe with good friend Ineke (and seasoned running guest) is complete, and the final episode in the current series just dropped.

We'd love you to have a watch, and if you enjoy it, a subscribe really does make a huge difference to a small channel just starting out. 🙏

A long run for Gayle today... down to Puerto Lope, spotting the first olive pickers of the year, alongside Sierra Pelada, and onto the Sierra Parapanda for a handy 30km and 1,250m ascent.

Helping the legs recover with a flat 18km run on the Vega de Granada for Gayle today 🍂
Autumn leaves, egrets and even a heron spotted as we passed poet Lorca's birthplace.

Great day out on the trails for Sarah and Gayle! 🌄
Starting from Moclín, they dropped down towards Olivares, climbed through the olive groves, and pushed up into the stunning Sierra de la Hoz. The route finished with the rocky descent to the famous Ruta de Gollizno gorge, and of course, the final climb back up to the village! 💪🏽

Blue skies, perfect temps, and another day exploring our backyard trails in Andalusia. 🇪🇸

🌄 Welcome back, Gayle!

It’s great to have Gayle back with us in Moclín this week! She first joined us a few years ago on one of our Christmas running holidays and now she's back getting some sunny and hilly miles in for her next big event.

Today, Sarah took her out for a run over Sierra Puerto Lope. Stunning trails, massive blue Andalusian skies and perfect conditions, followed up for a picnic lunch at one of our favourite spots, looking out across to the majestic Sierra Nevada.

Fantastic to see you back on the trails, Gayle! 👟☀️

Working a long hill for Luidmila today. We dropped down to Olivares and then ran / fast hiked a 700m climb before adding 30sec surges onto the descent. Ideal training for those trail races which incorporate a heavy climb followed by a fast descent.

Good work! Final easy run tomorrow 💪👏⛰️

Into the gorge and onto Sierra Hoz for Luidmila today. Cooler weather meant working the ascents and getting in some solid practice with poles for her forthcoming race. Good work! 💪 🐐 ⛰️

The poplar trees beckoned today for Luidmila and a recovery run on the Vega de Granada.

Low heart rate, easy pace and relaxed run 👏 🌳 🌺

Into the olive groves for Luidmila and a long run on what turned out to be a very humid day! Well done!

Not many folks around but we spotted a Bonelli’s eagle, a few bee eaters, elderberries and heard plenty of golden orioles hiding in the foliage near the river.

A day of ups and downs today for Luidmila!

Up and down Sierra Parapanda this morning practicing descending technique. And then muscular endurance training up and down Sierra Enmedio this afternoon.

A useful day’s training ticked off with Ultra Trail Spain ⛰️ 🆙 🏃🏼‍♀️
