“Give him an offering, my lady, for there is no greater tragedy than that of the blind man in Granada.”

So goes the famous quote, allegedly said to a woman as she passed a beggar in the street in Granada. The beauty and truth of the phrase encapsulate everything about this majestic city. The city offers the visitor a dazzling variety of attractions from its fun-filled and historically rich streets to its reputation as a Flamenco hotspot. A university city brimming with the mix of ancient cultures, Granada offers both history and modernity. Opposite the Alhambra, an impressively beautiful Morrish palace and fortress, one finds herself in the Albaycín, the old Muslim quarter of the city with its steep banks, winding streets and sharp turns where an air of the past still lingers.

Our retreat center is located near the capital of the province of the same name, and the wider region holds a number of attractions. From the mystical Alpujarras mountains, to the Sierra Nevada and down to the Costa Tropical centered on Salobreña, a visitor to this province can go to the mountains in the morning, enjoy sightseeing and lunch in the city, and then sit on the beach in the evening.

Practice yoga in the spectacular octagonal yoga shala with abundant natural light from the large windows and enjoy the spacious clean white accommodations and common areas that offer a clear meditative feel. Take pleasure in indoor and patio dining, a lush meditation garden, and a large pool behind the retreat center. Rooms have ensuite bathrooms, air conditioners and heaters and there is wifi throughout the retreat center.
