Yoga and Pilates holiday in Spain
This holiday is operated by a company based in the holiday destination and they will be able to provide expert local knowledge. They will be able to tailor make your holiday to suit your requirements not only concerning the dates of travel but also typically the standard of accommodation, and thus price. It is rare for local operators to be able to help with the booking of your flights.
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
Energy & Recycling: The hotel has implemented many initiatives to make best use of the natural resources available whilst at the same time, minimising wastage too. Such as, each loo is fitted with dual action flush to minimise the use of water. All taps have been fitted with a flow regulator to avoid wasting water. Low energy light bulbs are used throughout & electrical equipment is switched off when not in use. All paper, card, glass, cartons & tin are recycled. All guests are encouraged to act responsibly by minimising use of electricity, recycle waste packaging and in specifying when they need fresh towels.
Building Restoration: When this town house was converted into a hotel, all original fittings were sympathetically restored & preserved rather than “rip out & replace”
Food: We serve typical local dishes, with virtually all ingredients being sourced at the local market. This not only minimises packaging & reduces carbon emissions, but supports local growers too. This “from the ground to the table” also ensures our meals contain optimum nutrients.
Culture: We encourage guests to explore & immerse themselves into the Spanish way of life by dining at local restaurants, visiting markets and buying gifts from local artisans and producers. And, if there’s a local festival … everyone’s invited to immerse themselves and taste the Spanish’s love of fiestas!
Community
This holiday takes place at a small, luxury hotel managed and run by a local Spanish couple & their loyal, friendly team. Their pride is omnipresent in the way in which they work to keep the hotel super clean and also in the way they greet guests like friends.
We only employ locals as guides, drivers, housekeepers, cooks, therapists & teachers not just because they are local, but because they are the soul of the area and bring historical colour and wealth of information that a guidebook could not.
We are in-debited to these fantastic people but, in the cold light of day, we realise our holidays help to keep families together for without this work, many would leave the area to find work away from home.
Supporting Local Charities: We support two local charities with donations from our profit; a donkey sanctuary that cares for old or abandoned donkeys and a Home for children who are at risk.
