Guests will meet at the designated meeting point at Córdoba train station, where the retreat journey begins. From there, we’ll travel together into the heart of La Subbética and settle into the cortijo. After time to arrive, unwind, and take in the landscape, we’ll gather for a relaxed welcome aperitivo and our first shared dinner together.

After breakfast at the cortijo, we’ll head into Priego de Córdoba, one of the most beautiful towns in the Subbética, known for its whitewashed streets, flower-filled corners, and rich Andalusian character. The day will include time to explore some of the town’s most emblematic spaces, from its historic quarter and castle to its terraces, local atmosphere, and village rhythm.

We’ll pause to enjoy aperitivos and red wine on a terrace before returning to the cortijo in the afternoon. Back at the house, the day continues around the kitchen and the table, with dinner preparation inspired by local ingredients and seasonal products. Before dinner, guests will enjoy a special olive oil tasting led by a local expert, offering a deeper introduction to one of the great culinary treasures of this region.

Today we’ll explore the layered beauty of Córdoba, one of the most historic and captivating cities in Andalucía. The day will include time in the Jewish Quarter, a visit to the extraordinary Mezquita, and a walk through some of the city’s most iconic surroundings, including the Roman Bridge and the historic center. We’ll also visit Medina Azahara, the remarkable caliphal city recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Along the way, we’ll experience Córdoba through its food as well as its history, enjoying a relaxed lunch inspired by Andalusian tapas culture and ending the day with dinner at La Taberna de Almodóvar, a beloved Córdoba restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide.

Today we’ll journey to Granada, where history, architecture, and Andalusian beauty come together in unforgettable ways. The day will center around a guided visit in English to the Alhambra and the Generalife gardens, followed by time to soak in the atmosphere of the city through places such as the Albaicín and Calle Elvira.

Between monumental beauty, layered history, and the unmistakable spirit of Granada, the day will also include time to enjoy the city’s lively tapas culture and to experience a different side of Andalucía’s cultural soul.

After several days of discovery, this day is designed to offer a slower rhythm and a more intimate kind of pleasure. The morning will begin at a gentler pace, allowing time to rest and enjoy the cortijo before gathering for lunch. After lunch, guests will enjoy an Arab baths experience including thermal circuit and massage, creating space to truly unwind and take in the journey.

Later in the day, we’ll return to the cortijo for one of the retreat’s most personal and memorable culinary experiences: a paella cooking session using beautiful local products and ingredients from the region. The evening will unfold around the kitchen, the fire, and the table, with the possibility of a special flamenco moment woven into our final celebrations.

Our final morning begins with breakfast and time to enjoy the surroundings one last time before departure. From there, group transportation will return guests to Córdoba, marking the close of the retreat and the end of our shared journey through La Subbética.
