Flights and Accommodation - Spain
The Magic of Andalusia
Andalucia is Spain’s southernmost region, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea in the east to the Portuguese border in the west. The main attraction of the landscape of Andalusia centres on its impressive contrasts: mountains and beaches, deserts and salt flats, plains and countryside where Mediterranean crops alternate with pastureland.
The Alpujarras
Between the highest mountains of Andalusia and the Mediterranean Sea, The Alpujarras is one of the most enchanting and beautiful regions of Spain and where our training will be. Our meeting point will be in the town centre of Orgiva, 25 kilometeres from the retreat center.
Flights
The easiest way to get to Orgiva is to fly first to Granada or Malaga Airports. Malaga has many more options for flights coming from most European cities. Our pick up point is in Orgiva, in the first day of the training.
We often recommend arriving the day before and either stay a night in Malaga or Granada. In the Granada don´t miss the chance to check out The Alhambra:
