Originally from rural England, Iberian expert Richard Cash first came to the Pyrenees for a weeks’ vacation in 1988 and has been exploring and guiding in these mountains ever since. He has walked the Pyrenean High Route from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean no less than four times and delights in showing visitors the amazing landscapes, virgin nature and mountain villages, culture and history that captivated him .
“There’s always something wonderful to show people whenever I go out guiding, whether it’s a golden eagle diving on a flock of izard (Pyrenean chamois), a rare and beautiful flower, or an old shepherd with stories to tell.”
Richard is a dedicated naturalist and historian and leads nature and ornithology tours as well as walking and trekking trips. He is a qualified in first aid, as a cross country ski instructor, and as a mountain leader.
He is immersed in the life of a traditional Pyrenean village which means, when he is not guiding, he is busy with various hobbies such as his vegetable garden and playing the fiddle and mandolin in an Aragonese music group.
