Prior to the pandemic, the UK had not been a major area of focus for Inntravel, with most of its walking holidays in destinations such as Spain, Italy and France. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!We meander around Spain and Portugal on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast.
