Guardian.co.uk - Not too hot to trot

Still sunny but not scorching, autumn is the perfect time for walking. Gemma Bowes finds short-haul holidays for all interests. If you don't fancy K2 this year and would prefer your walking as a complementary therapy alongside relaxation and massages at a Spanish spa, then a five-day "fit and relax" break from north Majorca's Monnaber Nou Hotel could be your pampered thing.

The island's varied terrain offers different daily yomps, from coastal walks and rolling plains, to the Tramuntana mountains and - as the hotel occupies a 13th-century manor near Alcudia and Pollensa - lovely beaches. After the leg work (maps and picnics are provided for three day-long walks), guests swap hiking boots for towelling slippers and hit the saunas, steam baths, Jacuzzis and spa with four therapies included. Tennis and watersports, bikes and horses are available too. • €882pp until 30 September, €850pp throughout October. 0034 689 073 451, spa-in-spain.com.
