Your place in a double room, if you are traveling with a partner or friend you can share a double or a twin room. All rooms have en-suite facilities and balconies with spectacular views. The hotel has a lovely outdoor bar overlooking the pool and Mountain View’s, a wonderful restaurant and large pool. Its lovely there.

You will be provided with a self serve breakfast and lunch every day at the hotel, with one packed lunch to take with you on the guided picnic walk. You will also be provided with two group evening meals.

The hotel prides itself on its organic garden where they grow vegetables and fruit that are used in the food they serve. There will also be complimentary refreshments – tea, coffee, fresh juice and homemade cake during the pottery workshops. All alcoholic and other drinks will be charged separately, you will need to pay for these yourself.

We find that if you have had a nice breakfast and lunch then if you wander into the village in the evening and enjoy a couple of drinks with the free tapas that come with wine, beer or grape juice (but often with whatever drink you order depending on time of day and bar) then you wont even need to buy a proper meal out. The tapas are only free in the Granada province so we are very lucky indeed to be able to enjoy this culture – the tapas generally get better the more you drink! They can vary from homemade meatballs, bread and cheese, fried quails eggs, jamon, potato dishes, etc. All delicious and completely free.

Morning sessions in yoga for the over 50’s in mind but suitable for everyone – nothing too strenuous – just some wonderful
mindful stretching to set you up for the day and evening guided meditations and very gentle stretching session – all optional but completely wonderful even if you have never done any yoga before.

Three shrine/wall alcove making sessions with Jane and one fun evening group (sacrificial) candelabra making session. All materials, firings and postage to get your work back to you included.

In the Poqueira gorge with a packed picnic lunch and local guide.

Flamenco show with live guitar, singing and dancing and talk about the history of Flamenco.
