The week can be tailored to suit the interests of the group.

Trips can be extended on your own to visit the surrounding towns of Ronda, Cordoba, Seville or Granada. Or if enough people want to stay on their own, they can arrange a group trip to these areas...

The hosts are your guides.  They live in the area and can take the group to places they would not otherwise get to on their own.  They also know where to find all the 'hidden' flowers, including native wild orchids
