- CORTIJO, 18816 Corralón, Granada
- "I have attended 2 yoga retreats at this stunning location in the heart of the Castríl Natural Park. With views stretching over the Badlands of The amazing Altiplano de Granada to the east, and westerly towards the Sierra Nevada, Cortijo El Corralón is backed by enormous dramatic rocky outcrops, populated by an impressive Griffon Vulture colony. The surrounding forests are filled with the scent of wild rosemary and thyme, and are home to ibex, wild boar, fallow deer, rabbits and countless other species. This truly is a nature lovers paradise, the only sound, the occasional screech of an eagle soaring overhead. It's a perfect base from which to explore this region, with its white-washed mountain top villages, bustling local markets, beautiful hiking trails, wild swimming, waterfalls and fiestas, all set beneath the enormous Andalucían sky. From dense pine forests to breathtaking desert moon-scapes, this really is a fantastic place to spend a few days (or weeks!). The huge yoga studio is fabulous........large, light, airy and exudes a perfect sense of calm and tranquility. Great accommodation, great food and very lovely hosts, Alison & Julian. Can't wait to return."
