Away from Home March 2018| 103 By Jaime Bartolome Some people say I have the best job in the world! I get to explore hidden parts of my beautiful country of Spain while designing new cycling routes for my clients in a family venture that involves the expert opinion of my British wife and two kids. When you book a holiday with Away from the Crowds, it’s a personal experience from beginning to end: Sylvia answers your initial questions and, with her wealth of local knowledge, helps you to decide on which holiday is best suited to you. Jorge is our logistics man. He takes care of all the details from luggage transfers and bike selection to local travel arrangements and meals. Cristina will send you last minute tips and information before you travel and keep you informed throughout on our Facebook page. Vanesa will take care of all the bills and behind the scenes admin. As a company we are committ ed to sustainable tourism. Many of our tours take you through protected areas and Natural Parks of breath-taking beauty where you can experience fi rst-hand the rich diversity of Spain’s natural heritage. We also calculate the CO 2 emissions of each holiday and compensate them through reforestation projects in tropical regions. Locally, your economic input makes a big diff erence to fragile rural communities.
