    What our travellers are saying...

    A very enjoyable holiday: excellent tuition, comfortable en suite accommodation and glorious scenery with abundance of wild flowers. There was no need to travel further than the terrace to paint. Delicious home cooked food too. I highly recommend it.

    M Gimson, UK

    We had an excellent weeks drawing and painting. Noelle tailors her tuition to those on the course. The finca is set in a beautiful area of Spain, its very peaceful. The food, drink and conversation were also perfect.

    K Wakefield, UK

    A beautiful setting. Friendly service. Horse-riding for all levels - beginner to expert. Group and private lessons. Day outings riding on the beach or the in the mountains. Very good horses, especially the Spanish stallions. Good family cuisine in the restaurant. Pool and bar for relaxing at the end of the day. Comfortable, functional rooms. Highly recommended.

    Best Time to Visit Spain

    Spring Summer Autumn Winter

    Expect temperatures between 18 degrees in March and 22 degrees in May.

    Springtime in Spain is beautiful – and for those living in colder European countries, it is a great choice for a quick sunny getaway before the crowds arrive with the summer. In fact, it could be the ideal season to visit – especially for activity holidays in Spain. Slightly cooler temperatures, fewer people and less crowding from tourists in the cities mean that there are often great deals to be found on accommodation.

    Expect temperatures between 28 degrees in June and 31 degrees in August.

    Summer is the most popular time to visit Spain. Its hot weather is irresistible to travellers coming from all over the world. Dry and sunny, tourists are almost guaranteed good weather – although prices will generally be higher and there is likely to be larger crowds all over the country.

    Expect temperatures between 28 degrees in September and 14 degrees in November.

    October is a popular time to visit Spain, as the warm temperatures make it the perfect time to get a final dose of sunshine before winter sets in. Dry weather is less guaranteed, but this could be the perfect time to explore cities like Barcelona, Madrid and Seville that otherwise might have unbearable heat in the summertime.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures between 11 degrees in December and 17 degrees in February.

    Although Spain is wetter and cold in some places in the south, the weather remains mild and pleasant even in winter. For a break in the winter sun, visit places like Marbella, Tenerife and Seville to experience some sunshine. What’s more – you’ll be able to successfully avoid the crowds and make the most of cheaper prices.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.
