Testimonial
"I’ve just returned from a truly wonderful experience at the Escolta Alta Mountain Retreat in Spain. The setting was idyllic, and the movement practices were the perfect blend of fun, challenging, and relaxing. There was a great balance of different movement styles, all led by a hardworking and passionate team who inspired us throughout. There was also plenty of downtime to relax by the pool or enjoy a good book. The food was absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait to return!"
Join me, Sharon of Move Well Yoga, and my chef husband, Richard (Bongo), in the stunning foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at our home, Casa del Bienestar. Together, we offer a Holistic Hiking Holiday that blends movement, hiking, and healthy living.
Our guided hikes will be led by our friends at Spanish Highs, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada Mountains.

EXTRAS
To top off your adventure holiday, we can now also offer both mountain and road biking to add to your package through Cycle Sierra Nevada. They offer bike hire and guided routes to suit all levels and abilities. Although, from personal experience, the mountains are big and climbs steep, so a certain level of fitness is required.
If horse riding is your thing you can head up into the mountains above Lanjaron and enjoy a hack or lesson with Sarah from Caballo Blanco. She has a mixture of Spanish horses suitable for all experience levels. A great way to see the local scenery.
These activities will be at an extra cost and are entirely optional. If you would like this added to the retreat package, please let us know.
