“Immerse in the peace of nature, comfort and yoga in the mountains of Southern Spain.”
Take the gift of relaxation on our hiking and yoga retreat in Spain. Set in the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Grazalema, in beautiful Andalusia, this is a place where the natural world takes over and invites you into wellbeing.
Great buttresses of rock rise above forested landscapes, quiet rural roads and traditional whitewashed villages. The Sierra de Grazalema, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is one of the best places for hiking in Southern Spain and offers a unique setting for a yoga retreat in Andalusia.
The Sierra de Grazalema and its whitewashed villages are the gateway to our yoga retreat center, surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in southern Spain. The retreat center sits within a diverse landscape of narrow passes, mountain ridges and traditional villages between the provinces of Cadiz and Malaga.
Located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, this area has a unique microclimate, rich plant life and abundant wildlife. Guests can practise yoga in the morning, explore peaceful hiking trails, discover historic whitewashed villages, cool off in one of the outdoor swimming pools with views of the Sierra, enjoy local food and sleep in the silence of the mountains.
Accommodation is in comfortable rooms within villas, with mountain views, air conditioning, heating and Wi-Fi inside the buildings.
If you're looking for a mountain escape combining nature, hiking and yoga in Spain, this is the place for you.

THE NATURE
The villas, gardens, walking paths, and swimming pools that make up the Nature Reserve yoga retreat center are nestled under an escarpment and have a panoramic view of the Sierra Grazalema mountains. Fresh clean mountain air fills a visitor's lungs with every breath. The Andalusian sunlight illuminates the natural landscape and olive trees that dot the mountain side. One can hear the soft chirping of birds and the occasional bleat of goats and sheep that roam the lands outside of retreat center. Just being in this place of stillness brings a sense of peace and wellbeing like no other.
The hiking tour takes yoga retreat participants on paths around the mountain, up to the breath-taking view of the whitewashed villages and/or to the Giant Dolmen. From the Neolithic period, the magic of the Giant Dolmen takes us back in time and reminds us of the everlasting health of a land where people have resided for thousands of years.
You will need to walk the mountain paths to get around between your villa, the yoga shala, the main house and the swimming pools.
WHITEWASHED VILLAGES
The Whitewashed villages of the Serranía de Cadiz sparkle under the sunlight of the lengthy days. Brimming with history and stories of when the Arabs built the villages and inhabited the area up until around the 8th century, each one has its own feel.
Explore the architecturally fascinating city of Ronda with its stunning cliffside location and deep canyons. Visit the Puente Nuevo, gazing over the precipice’s edge. Known to be the birthplace of bullfighting in Spain, visit Ronda's bullring museum and learn about the history. Explore the winding streets walking down through the impressive gorge to visit the ruins of the Arab baths from Moorish life during the 13th to the 16th century in Spain. Taste local products like the award-winning Payoyo goat cheese, wine, and jamón.
LOCATION & TRAVEL
The Nature Reserve Retreat Center is tucked away in the mountains, located in El Gastor (Cádiz), just 2 kilometers from the village, and easily accessible from Malaga and Sevilla Airports, and from the Ronda train station. Transportation options are included in Lucia Yoga Retreats and we're happy to help you organize if you prefer to arrange your own transport.
Please note that it is not possible to reach the retreat center by public transportation. A car, taxi, or our organized shuttle service is required.
For this retreat, we organize a group shuttle from Malaga for an additional fee, and pre-set transportation from Ronda is included in the retreat package. We recommend arriving in Malaga before 1:00 p.m. on the arrival day and departing after 4:00 p.m. on the departure day to allow enough time to take the shuttle we arrange.

As soon as the retreat is officially confirmed, we will notify all participants by email or Whatsapp that it is safe to book travel.

Recommended Travel Insurance
We highly recommend that each participant purchase individual travel insurance for their trip. It can be a minimal expense compared to the benefits it offers.
We especially suggest choosing a policy that includes “cancel for any reason” coverage and medical protection.
Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself from unexpected circumstances before or during your retreat.
The remaining payment
The remaining payment for the retreat will be due three months before the start date, or two weeks after the retreat is sold out, whichever comes first. Our team will contact by email or Whatsapp for the payments when the moment comes.
