explore beyond the retreat
Excursion 1:
Jabalcon & the Hot Springs
€20 per person (min. 5 people)
Take a drive up to the top of Jabalcon mountain to enjoy the panoramic views all the way to the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Travel back down the mountain to the natural hot springs for a dip in the healing waters bubbling out of the earth at approximately 38 degrees celsius. Then up to the bar for cocktails and a spectacular sunset.
Excursion 2:
The Enchanted Fig Forest
€20 per person (min. 5 people)
This spectacular place has to be seen to be believed. Ancient fig trees growing out of the rock face forming a canopy of shaded spaces to explore. Many mini waterfalls and rock pools offer the perfect opportunity for an ice-cold refreshing dip before settling down for a packed lunch and drinks.
Excursion 3:
Castril Village & River Walk
€30 per person (min. 5 people)
A scenic drive to the beautiful, white washed village of Castril perched high up in the Sierra de Castril. We will start with the short but jaw-dropping walk along the river gorge, followed by a typical Spanish lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch we will have time to wander the cobbled streets and even take a walk up to the Peña de Castril - a natural rock formation, over 100m high with a statue of Christ at the top.
