Cortijo Romero is situated at 1300 feet, with breath-taking views across the Alpujarra Mountains, in the foothills of Andalucía’s Sierra Nevada. The centre itself is a beautiful sensory experience, the swimming pool is cocooned in a picturesque walled enclosure, surrounded by palm trees and wafted by the scent of jasmine, and the gardens are planted with sub-topical flowers and fruit.
The area has been designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and has been described by National Geographic magazine as "one of the most inspiring and uplifting areas in the world". It’s a centre for a different kind of holiday, based around the idea that, given the right conditions, everyone can aspire to their potential and live a more fulfilling life.
A wide variety of courses provides opportunities for people to get what they really need from their holiday - whether it’s to grow, develop, learn, expand, create, be challenged, rest, rejuvenate, heal, or be inspired...... Guests can also visit the nearby market town of Órgiva, as well as the ancient city of Granada (home to the Alhambra, one of the wonders of the world), or take a swim under the natural waterfalls.
Each week our local guide takes guests to visit the charming ‘white villages’ which are dotted picturesquely amidst the surrounding mountains. Stroll through the mountain paths, enjoy a picnic with the backdrop of stunning scenery in every direction, and taste some of the locally renowned produce. The combination of all elements is a recipe for a truly great holiday – many say it’s the best they’ve ever had, and the majority return – some frequently - since there are so many courses on offer, different seasons to experience and always new people to meet.
