The Retreat Experience
Retreat with lots of creativity and fun
With our broad background, we have put together a unique retreat week, packed with creative, cultural, and culinary days. How about painting and drawing in nature between the dolmens? Or making a story in sound. An afternoon of walking with storytelling. Immerse yourself in the stories and legends of the region.
And in between there is enough space to relax around the pool of the accommodation where you are staying and at one of the paradisiacal river beaches that this area is rich in. Or experience a sound bath. Every day we offer a different, unique creative experience. And we end the day with a delicious dinner with healthy and very tasty dishes. The retreat week ends with a Culinary workshop with Spanish and Portuguese tapas and dishes to serve them festively and enjoy together by the pool.
