Discover this passionate and seductive art. Take the centre stage on one of the most important traditions in Andalucía. The Flamenco experience takes guests to an authentic tablao flamenco where feelings and emotions are expressed through the rhythm of dance and music.

Ronda is one of Andalusia’s most iconic towns, set in and around a deep gorge, with a bridge spanning the River Guadalevín one of the most photographed sights in Spain. Wander the old town, take in incredible views from Casa Don Bosco, and stop for lunch at a local tapas restaurant. The journey back takes you through vineyards, whitewashed houses built into the cliffside, and the olive estate designed by Philippe Starck. 

An unforgettable gastronomic experience. An adventure for the taste buds: taste, smell and savour a selection of local olive oils paired with artisan bread. Guided by a local Guru, you will discover every secret of the different olive oil types, as well as how to identify unique characteristic flavours and aromas.

 

Explore the charm of Estepona, where fishermen have lived and worked for centuries. Take to the waters in a sailing boat, sampling fresh catches of scallop and tuna accompanied by Manilva wine. Returning to shore, visit the daily fish market, before strolling the town’s cobbled alleys full of bodegas and tapas bars. 

Spain is a nation of verdant vineyards, and the third largest producer of wines in the world. On the Costa del Sol, the warm climate is perfect for the Moscatel grape, used to make sherry and dessert wines. Tour a local vineyard with the owner himself, tasting your way through Denominación de Origen wines. Sponsor a grapevine and name it, something to look forward to returning to.
