Adventures on horseback and yoga to revitalize body and mind, located in a natural park in southern Spain, very close to picturesque Andalusian towns such Vejer
Sandra Trujillo. Yoga teacher specialized in restorative yoga, therapeutic yoga, anti-stress, meditation and mindfulness. Her goal as a Yoga teacher is to improve the understanding of the mind-body connection, learn to find hidden patterns in the nervous, mental and physical systems, experience harmony between the different systems of being; body mind and soul in union. Know the meaning of inner peace from experience. The meaning of Yoga is the union of being, and in its sessions you will be able to learn its authenticity. Profesora de yoga especializada en yoga restaurativo y terapéutico.
Francisco is the horse guide and founder. He is Spanish and was born in this village and is a good guide as he knows every little corner of this park. He learned to ride in his childhood and has his authentic own style. If you have to describe him, he is a wise or whispered horseman, is a guide more than an instructor, and is happy to help and assist you if you come for beginners' rides or explain to you about the park. The horses live free in the park, so they are relaxed and calm. There are 18 horses for different levels; he will choose the best friend-partner for you on this holiday.
Victor is guiding the rides. Nice guide, who knows every little part of this Park, happy to help you and assist you during the rides, before and after too! Is a comprehensible person, he loves to explain to you the info or questions you have about the horses or the park. He is Spanish but he will try to understand and speak! If not, he has normally the help of the volunteer or the inter-change person who helps you with the horses and riders and speaks other languages, so do not worry about the language.

"The most amazing, magical and serene experience "
The warm hospitality and welcome from all the family into their beautiful, peaceful home was magical. The yoga and meditation sessions were incredible, excellently led and adapted to all, so calm and peaceful. The horses are nothing short of incredible. Responsive, fit, calm and forgiving. The trails were the best I've ever ridden- forest, beach, cliffs, views beyond my imagination. The meals are different every day, fresh, delicious and lovingly prepared. The whole experience was harmonious with nature and ethereal.

"Lovely family and great horses"
The family is really nice and welcoming, they will take great care of you during your stay. The facilities are nice and clean. Victoria is a great cook and will serve you good spanish food every day. Sandra is a lovely host and will make you feel welcome and will listen to you if you have any questions. The horse guides don't speak a lot of english, but we made it work.
The horses are very experienced and make you feel safe on the most challenging terrain.
I love that all animals (horses, cows, donkey, dogs, chickens) are just roaming freely on the property around the house. All animals seemed well taken care of and in good condition and happy.
Could have stayed longer than just the five days

"Riding in the sun and yoga "
New to yoga, and thoroughly enjoyed learning with Sandra.
The riding was fantastic with really helpful guides. Victor and Luca led us on fantastic trails and galloping on the beach always finished too soon.
The horses -what can I say? I wanted to bring Lutero home with me.
Victoria's cooking ensured that I lost no weight despite all the exercise!
All in all, one of the best weeks of my life ❤️

"Amazing horse riding holiday"
The horses are all well taken care off by Paco and are responsive to you during the rides. We’ve explored different areas of the park each day with some galloping on the beach. My highlight was the swimming on the last day - so special! The horseriding is in the morning and then the afternoon is for yourself to explore the area which I really liked. I rented a car giving a bit more flexibility, would highly recommend others to do the same. The accommodation was very pleasant as well, good rooms and amazing meals provided by Victoria. Also the cutest dogs that greet you each morning :) I will definitely return
Liesbeth Vander Hoeven

"A true gem to be discovered"
Paco has the upmost respect for his horses and this is apparent in their friendly behaviour. Paco is a man of few words but passionately showed us his region and the horses were all too willing to carry us through the ever changing terrain from sandy beaches to rugged mountain trails.
After our daily trip, we were welcomed back home with the most delicious homemade traditional spanish meals.
Furthermore I can very much recommend taking the offered yoga classes. Sandra was skilfully guided us through various types of yoga and respected the varying levels of the different people.
Finally some tips that I can share. The house is quite remote and each day you have to take care of one meal yourself (lunch/dinner) so it is recommended to come by/rent a car. That way you can also visit the nearby city Tarifa and Bolonia beach. I would also try to learn some basic Spanish. Paco and Victoria are lovely people, but are not very fluent in English, so to improve communication with them some basic Spanish knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

"Amazing holiday - but need some basic Spanish knowledge "
The horses and the location are amazing and the family is very kind and inviting. We were in a group of 8 woman, 6 in the advanced group, 2 in the beginner group. All but one booked yoga and horse riding, one booked just the horse riding. We all had an incredible time, enjoyed the great meals Victoria prepared for us, and learned a lot about Yoga from Sandra. I still don't know how the horses could walk the selected paths with us, but they were incredibly soft and confident, regardless of how steep or stony the paths were. The views and the sea are amazing and the highlight was swimming with the horses. We had the chance to take swimming cloths, got rid of the saddle and went in the sea on top of the horses until they were swimming with us. I have never experienced anything like this and I will forever cherish this experience.

I had a wonderful week: Paco organized the horse riding very professional. He I a horse man with all his heart. The horse was just great and enjoyed the time with me. The landscape is amazing. We did beautiful rides in the mountains and on the beach. The yoga with Sandra was perfekt and supported the whole body in a very good way. Last but not least the food. Victoria did it with all her energies and enthusiasm. It tastes wonderful and we experienced a lot about the spanish cuisine. Thank you all for the great week. 💚❤️

"Entspannter Reit- und Yogaretreat"
Die Kombination Yoga und Reiten finde ich genial! Es hat sehr gut gepasst und das Yoga war auch auf das Reiten abgestimmt. Es wurde nach Wunsch auch viel restauratives Yoga angeboten. Und ausserdem kurze Massagen für den unteren Rücken. Diese waren sehr angenehm und wohltuend.
Die täglichen Ausritte (2-4h) waren unglaublich toll! Wir konnten jeden Tag am Meer, an der Küste entlang reiten, was wunderschön war. Die Landschaft war generell superschön, jetzt im Frühling alles sehr grün und auch sehr abwechslungsreich.
Alles in allem ein supertolles Angebot/Retreat bei einer liebevollen Familie, die sich rundum sehr bemüht, auf individuelle Bedürfnisse einzugehen. Die Unterkunft war in einem schönen Steinhaus gelegen in wunderschöner Natur. Die Pferde und auch die 3 tollen Hunde haben dort ein sehr schönes Leben. Werde wiederkommen :)

"Exceeded all expectations"
I really didn't know what to expect but the whole stay was fantastic - the room was comfortable and just what I needed, the meditation and yoga was great - I do both several times a week back home and the standard was high from Sandra, the food Victoria prepares fresh each day was wonderful, the horse hacks were brilliant routes with gallops along the beach. I hadn't ridden for a few years but you were trusted to manage your own speed, it was so enjoyable getting out on the horses straight away as opposed to pottering about or being led, it felt like such a privilege to be allowed to ride the horses in such an incredible part of the world. Everything about the holiday was 10/10, the family were so welcoming and kind, absolutely wonderful.

"Excellent Experience, on the top of my wife's bucket list"
A week before this retreat I broke a rib, so I couldn't ride a horse nor practice yoga with my wife who attended the retreat with me. We have 2 horses, but neither of us had ever galloped on a beach, rode through water, nor swam with a horse. This met every one of my wife's goals, and the daily yoga was nice for her too. It's a family business and every member of the family did a great job. From preparing outstanding meals to riding a horse on different beaches and terrain, we're planning on doing it again next year. You even chose the horse you'd ride. Also, for food, if you wanted vegetarian or more meat options, Victoria would always prepare something exceeding your needs. And since I couldn't ride or practice yoga this year, I walked the paved road and a few great nearby trails. There are many free roaming horse even in the villa's front and back yards, and many other friendly horses, donkeys, dogs, sheep and cows for you to visit on your walks. One hundred meters from the villa we stayed in were the Betis Tombs, carved out of sandstone between the 8th and 10th centuries. Next to the closest beach (Bolonia), less than 10 minutes away by auto or you can walk there from the villa in 2 hours, are what are considered to be the most complete Roman town ruins yet uncovered in Spain, dating from the 2nd century BC to the 9th century AD. Also, it was a great beach. We both had a great time! My wife told me several times this was the best holiday she ever experienced.

"Absolutely a dream coming true"
Amazing. The whole experience felt very authentic and local. Victoria is en excellent chef, and she really took good care of the whole group and made sure there was enough to eat. I loved all the dogs there, and how Pluma followed us to our bedroom door every night. The horses run around for free in the whole village and area living their best lives, but dont expect much “being” with the horses outside of the hours you spend in the saddle. The riding itself was amazing, you take a different route everyday, that takes you to both mountain tops, sandbanks, the most beautiful remote beaches and pine forrests. I was very impressed by how confident the horses seemed on the stony trails, I felt completely safe on their backs. I especially loved both the swimming with the horses, the slow, meditative walks up and down the sandy tracks and the scenic gallops on the beach the last day, truly a dream coming true. There are horses for every level and they are well taken care of. Loved Bamboo!
The yoga was nice as well, good combo with the horse riding. Sandra showed us different parts of yoga every morning, I definately learned something new and I’m grateful for the introduction to the selfmassage with the ball.
Thank u so much ❤️
FYI: Be aware that the place is located in a small mountain village and a car is a MUST both to get there and to go for the beach. Marina organized a group on whatsapp 1,5 week before our stay so that the group could coordinate car sharing.

"Una experiencia inolvidable"
Aparte de las vistas espectaculares, me encantaron las clases de yoga y meditación con Sandra. Superó por mucho mis expectativas, realmente conoce la práctica y sabe guiar de manera minuciosa y personalizada. Es el tipo de yogui que es la prueba de su práctica interna. Salí super contenta y agradecida de haber tenido la oportunidad de tomar clases con ella, aprendí mucho.
Por otro lado, las rutas de montar son realmente inolvidables, son paisajes increíbles y Víctor hace rutas distintas cada día. A pesar de estar en nivel intermedio, me hubiera gustado aprender tips más técnicos sobre los caballos y en especial esas razas que están preciosos sus caballos; y se ve que Víctor sabe mucho de esta práctica.
Victoria cocina muy rico! Siempre cocinó cosas diferentes y balanceadas.

This place is amazing. If you are looking for a horseback riding holiday, look no further. This one has everything you could ask for:
beautiful views (the water is crystal blue, the mountains breathtaking, the cities nearby beautiful)
lots of time spent in the saddle (3-4 hours every day for the advanced, 1.5-2 hours for beginners)
amazing, gracious, and kind hosts (they are wonderful individuals and more than anything want to make your stay an amazing experience)
delicious food (Victoria is an amazing cook, the food somehow strikes the perfect balance between Michelin-star quality and home-cooked comfort food)
trustworthy horses (these horses know their way around and they are sure-footed and calm, meaning that they do not bolt or spook)
good accommodations (if you are looking for a five star hotel, this isn't it. come with the perspective that you will be staying in someone's home. the beds are comfy, the rooms clean, and the terraces and garden perfect for an afternoon in the sun reading)
i can't recommend this place enough and i know that i will be returning in the near future for another stay.

What a perfect place!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Aventuras del Sur, everyday waking up to gorgeous views of the sea. The yoga was guided by Sandra mostly whilst I stayed, and coming home it is something I am doing daily as she was an amazing teacher! The horses are the most relaxed herd I have ever seen, and the galloping along the beach is unreal! The homecooked food by Victoria was out of this world, my favourtie being the paella!
The accommodation was really clean and comfortable, and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend, as really really good price for what you get! Prepare to be immersed in a completely different world, full of relaxation, being one with nature and a lovely atmosphere with the dogs ;)
I do really wish I tried to learn Spanish, as I could have communicated with Victoria and Paco better, but other than that I have nothing bad to say!

"Yoga und Reiten im Paradies"
Organisation perfekt, sehr sympathischer und ehrlicher Familienbetrieb. Victoria kocht traumhaft Andalusisch. Unter drei Gängen läuft da nix. Vegan eher schierig in Spanien, Vegetarisch (mit Fisch wer sich das nicht entgehen lassen möchte, was ich empfehle) kein Problem. Auf Anfrage Milchersatzprodukte aller Art und glutenfreies Frühstück. Paco (=Francisco) ist ein ausgezeichneter Tourguide beim Reiten, man sollte aber schon mittel bis gut reiten können, damit es Spaß macht. Die ausgezeichneten Pferde (lebhafte Halb-Araber und erfahrene, trittsichere Andalusier) leben als Herde frei im Naturpark und werden zum Arbeiten "eingesammelt". Ruft gerne Sandra an, sie erklärt alles. Sie ist eine der "most aware" Menschen, die ich kenne. Morgenmeditation, Morgenyoga, Asana, Entspannungsyoga, alles perfekt (auf Englisch). Ich komme wieder!

También las lecciones de meditación guiada importantisimas para la práctica. Me enseñaron un montón y me ayudaron mucho para la relajación.
Los paseos a caballo. Caballos preciosos guiados por Paco por senderos maravillosos, despuntando el día o al atardecer por playas de ensueño.
Los desayunos y comidas de Victoria, siempre atenta a cualquier cosa que necesitas.
Son una familia maravillosa.

"Idyllic stay with Aventuras del Sur"
The setting in the farm house in the hills above the Atlantic is idyllic. A Beautiful garden to relax in around the house with views of the beach and the vivid blue ocean below. It is a peaceful and welcoming space. The family who run the retreat are warm, friendly and accommodating and go out of their way to ensure that your needs are met. Victoria created delicious meals eaten in the garden and her lemon cake is extraordinary.
Sandra is there involved in a variety of activities ensuring all goes well but is a particularly inspiring yoga teacher offering deeply restful and relaxing sessions alongside Sascha who is the main yoga teacher. He is hugely experienced and an incredible teacher his gentle adjustments to postures were perfectly executed. As one person in the group said he seems to understand your body better than you do.
Riding along the stunning beaches with Paco and Nicola and through the incredible fir tree forests was a feast for the senses of colours and smells. I hadn't ridden for over 15 years but there is something for all levels. To see the horses released into the national park at the end of the ride adds to the scene.
An incredible week I will definitely come again it was amazing

Two others were there for second time, this tells you everything. They are welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. The horses are so balanced and cared for. They are free to wander as a herd when not working. Even two horses without riders joined us for entire ride one day of thier own choice.
You can arrange beginner rides if new rider. I am intermediate to advanced rider and agree this is best for main horse program. We did gallop 4 of 5 days! Safety is priority of course. My horse pacho was not the fast one but he has lots of heart and will do his best for you. I hope to ride my short tailed black horse next year also.
I cant wait to go back!

"The best retreat I had so far! "
Wellcoming feeling from the hosts, spaciousness of the accommodation in the way that provided opportunity for being alone as well as hanging out with people. Natural park is huge, there is plenty to see, hiking tours and horse riding tours cover really good part. Yoga & meditation are mostly tailored depending on the group likes and experience. Victoria was cooking super delicious food every day, and we could all feel very welcome

It is very like famile. I felt like home. Lots of kindness. Maybe a little more English, but it didn’t really matter. They were experts in finding the right horse for you.

"Best Day Ever....Every Day! "
What a privilege to have spent 5 days with Sandra and her family.
This is a family business and the family are wonderful hosts. You live on their farm and enjoy a truly authentic Andalusian life whilst riding in the most amazing countryside and on the beaches during the day. We then spent the afternoons on the beaches sunbathing then returned for evening yoga and dinner. Each day was wonderful. You won’t want to leave!

"Experience of a lifetime! "
From the moment I arrived and saw the location with the craggy mountains and horses and cows walking freely around, to being greeted by Sandra and Victoria in their family home as if old friends, I could tell it was going to be a very warm, homely and natural experience. At first I wasn’t sure if the yoga would be challenging enough for me, but actually it complimented the riding perfectly as the restorative yoga and stretching meant you never felt sore once from riding 5 days. Sandra was a beautiful instructor and throughout the week we tried a few differently styles of yoga such as flow yoga, which was more active so I was very satisfied by the end and felt wonderful from the combination of meditation,
Yoga and riding. The horse rides were incredible with every day providing something new and exciting from climbing up and over the steep mountains with fantastic views, to galloping along the beach and then finally swimming with the horses in the ocean. The horses were in really good condition, well looked after and very well behaved, which I was so happy to see. I think I was also very lucky with the group that I shared the experience with, because although the ages were varied we all got on very well and enjoyed spending time together during the planned activities and also in our own time going to the beach. We were all very flexible, which was important for going with the flow of the daily activities if things needed to be changed. I would highly recommend this experience

The yoga and meditation were excellent and were conducted in a calm and relaxed manner. Sandra has a great personality and her yoga classes are so interesting and varied. She is very flexible with the times as some days we had to go horse riding earlier due to it being so hot.
Also it is a family run business and I felt so at home in Analdulcia. Victoria's home cooking is out of this world. Paco and Victor manage the horse riding and Sandra will answer any of your questions with a smile!

"Amazing place!!!"
Everything-the meditation, yoga ,horsebackriding & the food was perfect and in balance. The main reason for this, is that you stay with a family that runs it all by themselves and all on their own premises.
Everyday is a different day because of the variety in horsetrails and variety in yoga. I was afraid I might not be able to walk because of muscle pain but although I feel a good stretch, no muscle pain at all!
Nothing but love and respect for this family and their so friendly horses, dogs and cats.
You can definitely find me here again a next time! Namaste..

"A little piece of heaven here on earth "
Aventuras del Sur is an oasis of peace, beauty and wsrm affection set in the stunning andalusian countryside. The yoga and meditation had a profoundly calming effect and I felt so much more supple by the end of the week. Paco is a horseman second to none and all of his horses are well looked after, keen in the gallop and soft in the mouth. And the food! I've never eaten so well from the fresh fruit, cheese tomatoes and cereal, the picnic lunches with salad from the kitchen garden and each night a beautiful andalusian meal from paella to tuna steaks, beef casserole and calamari with plentiful local wine and beer. We were spoiled!

"Think of honey, sun and the smell of a rose: That's it!"
The experience at Aventuras del Sur is very authentic, caring and warm. The hosts, Paco, Victoria and Sandra are amazing people who know their country, their horses, their food ... The riding paths are well selected and provide you with stunning views. The beach gallops will leave you breathless. The morning yoga sessions are generally more calm in order to give your body balance and relaxation after many riding hours (restorative yoga, although you can get power yoga on request). We had a very cool group dynamic coming up during the week, but that of course depends on the group and what you make out of it.

This holiday was wonderful, fabulous hosts in a beautiful environment, the national park is just stunning. Paco and his horses are so wonderful, seeing the horses live freely and being part of the natural environment and then saddling up and enjoying exploring the mountains and coastline is very special.
The yoga is great, coupled with meditation and incorporating lots of variation, it really met my needs.
Topping it all off with Victoria's wonderful cooking, I had a really fabulous time.

"An adventure for the soul"
I chose the horse back riding adventure and highly recommend this option. Paco, the horse whisperer, carefully matches you with your horse for the week. I loved my horse Trueno! The rides are 4-4/12 hours daily and Paco takes you all on the most beautiful treks.
The location and accommodations are perfect. There is a beautiful garden and a stunning view of Morocco. The beach is a 5 minute drive down the road. Tarifa is close by and is quite enjoyable. The horses and cattle roam free and it’s fun to have them show up and say hello.
Yoga and meditation are optional. There were 1-2 yoga classes available each day. There is a great amount of stretching and I think I am now 2 inches taller now 😊
The meals are made with love by Victoria and are so very delicious!! Her paella was amazing!! There is an abundance of food and warmth.

I simply can't recommend this retreat highly enough! It was like stepping into my very own Spanish family! The yoga was amazing! The yoga instructors have so much competence and experience that they are able to adapt the sessions to the level of their clients. Our group had a lot of exprience so we were able to explore a lot of different yoga styles and meditation techniques. I came away with newly acquired knowledge and inspiration for my practice at home. The riding couldn't have been better! The day rides aren't for beginners or the faint hearted! Everyday brought new adventures and challenges! Galopping on the beach at full throttle was the stuff dreams are made of! Victoria was our Spanish mum for the week taking care of all our needs and providing us with traditional spanish soul food, which was much needed after the arduous days in the saddle and on our mats! I will definitley be going back! YA echo de menos vosotros. Abrazos x

"Absolute Paradise"
We wanted to book an all-inclusive retreat and got so much more than we even expected. The meditation/yoga classes are super professional and Sandra and Sascha explained a lot about the effects on both body and mind. (Their equipment is really cool, too!)
The riding on the beach is really amazing. Paco is the sweetest guide ever and adjusts the courses and speed according to the group's abilities. If you speak some Spanish he'll tell you about the beautiful nature around.
The cherry on top however is Victoria's cooking. Fresh vegetables from her garden and lots and lots of Andalusian flavor. Even if you have any allergies, she'll do everything she can to accomodate and make an extra portion without whatever you can't have. We usually topped it off with one of the local wines they always keep plenty of in their kitchen.
Overall, if you love hanging around beautiful souls, lots of animals and have an amazing time far away from your daily worries, this is the place for you to go.

"What a wonderful week"
This week was absolutely amazing!!I The combination from horsebackriding and Yoga is just perfekt, and I enjoyed every minute. Sandra and Sasha are very ambitioned Yogateachers with different styles, and they love what they do. Just the mix of both of them is fantastic.
The meditation in the morning at 7 a clock, when it is still dark is very unique .
And the horsebackriding was so wonderful. The horses are all well trainend, well tempered and they move like goats sometimes in the mountains.
We did every day 3 to 4 hours rides in the mountains or at the beach , and Paco was a wonderful and funny guide, and you feel how much he loves the horses and the country.
And even after 4 hours riding we had another yogalesson , and so I hadnt a minute pain from riding!!!
The food , cooked by Victoria was fresh and so tasty an d yummy , that I eat a lot, much more then at home.
The appartment are so cosy and you have a wonderful view over the ocean. The enviroment is beautiful, it is also wonderful for hiking, all about are free animals, and you get a small glimpse of a typical andalusien live.
The place is so perfect for calming down and relaxcing, and it wont be the last time ill be there.
We were just 3 women, wich made it even more worthed, but even with some more it is all very familiar
What a wonderful experince!!!! Thank you for everything.!!!

"Der perfekte Urlaub für Körper und Seele"
Die Familie Trujillo schafft es mit viel Liebe und Begeisterung eine perfekte Urlaubswoche zu gestalten. Der kleine Ort Betis ist einen Katzensprung entfernt von der Küste zwischen Tarifa und Bolonia. Es bietet sich ein traumhafter Ausblick über das Hinterland in ruhiger Umgebung. Die Yoga- und Meditationsstunden werden liebevoll nd individuell von Sascha und Sandra gestaltet. Mit viel Feuer, Erfahrung und Gelassenheit sind die Ausritte unvergesslich. Alle Pferde bieten eine einmalige Trittsicherheit, einzigartige Charaktere und einen besonders weichen Gang. Das kleine Gebirge und den Strand meistern sie wie Bergziegen und sind auch einem Galopp nicht abgeneigt. Man sollte sich im Gelände und in allen Gangarten sicher fühlen und 4 Stunden Ritte durchhalten können. Purer Genuß! Die Wandertouren mit Sascha habe ich sehr genossen. Vorbei an Kletterwänden, hinauf zu Felsen von denen aus Gänsegeier beobachtet werden können und hinunter zum Strandspaziergang - so vielfältig. Dabei hat Saschas ruhige Art und seinen ortskundigen Erklärungen das Erlebnis noch bereichert. Nicht unerwähnt lassen möchte ich die modern, sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichteten kleinen Appartements und dass tolle Essen von Victoria. Man wird rundherum verwöhnt.
Ich überlege jetzt schon, wann ich das nächste Mal hinreisen kann...

Loved every minute of the break in the most relaxed tranquil beautiful scenery. Lovely family with beautiful food and welcoming home.

Brilliant little hidden treasure away from the stress of life.

"Arriving as a guest, leaving as a friend"
Being located in a very small village with the animals all roaming around freely, time passes a bit slower in this family-run homestay. The yoga & meditation lessons were adapted to the skills of the participants. The teachers really know what they do and how they could support me!
Being a total beginner at riding it was amazing to do riding tours from the first minute on - from beach to mountains and forest-tours. The horses are well cared for and made me feel very comfortable & safe on their back. The horses were chosen by Paco, the horse-tour guide, according to the riding skills - and for me the choice fit perfectly!
I am so grateful for the warm welcome and look forward to going back!

"Excellent stay"
It was a great time for a close, spanish family in which everyone has their own task. It's nice if you speak a little Spanish. Paco (the guide with the horses), Sandra and Sacha (yoga) are very careful in everything they do. Victoria cooks deliciously. The apartments are spacious. It takes some getting used to the sounds at night (cow bells, dogs, wind). The yoga is very good and a lot of variation. The horseback riding was different than I expected. Normally you make a ride in which you step, trot and gallop. But here it is really climbing with the horses. Sometimes along the beach, sometimes the highest mountains. It is really learning to trust the horse. Sometimes a bit of galloping, but especially steps and up. This way you see the most beautiful views and you get to know the country in a different way.
In addition, everything is optional, so if you want to do something different, you can do that. So thanks for the nice time!

There is a lovely homely feel, everyone is so friendly and relaxed and my daughter and I felt so well looked after.

I want to say a special thank you to Sandra and her family for making me feel so welcome while I stayed there in a beautiful apartment with views towards Morocco. Victoria, your cooking was amazing and I enjoyed every meal Adventuras del Sur is a place of great beauty and peace - an oasis in the desert! I came away with great memories and completely relaxed. Thank you to Sascha for the great hiking over the mountain and on the coast and also the meditation on my last day. Sandra, you are so intuitive in your yoga teaching and each class brought something new. Thank you again. I will be back!

This holiday is truly relaxing. The location is wonderful, a peaceful village up in the hills where all the animals roam free, with views of the sea and Morocco beyond. There is a beautiful garden to eat and relax in and the accommodation is spacious, clean and comfortable. You are staying with a family who make you feel truly welcome. Victoria's cooking is delicious- fresh healthy food and she accommodated dietary requirements for everyone. You can start the day with meditation and end the afternoon with yoga. Sandra is a skilled and calm teacher. And the riding is fabulous. The horses roam free across the national park and are calm, willing and capable, coping with whatever is asked of them. Paco the cowboy led us on many adventures, along beaches, through forests, up and down all kinds of terrain and the horses are forward going and trustworthy through everything. All the people and animals at Adventures del Sur are kind, generous and warm-hearted. It is a fantastic holiday!

"The best retreat ever"
I really enjoyed the peaceful environment, surrounded by animals in the stunning Andalusian countryside. The retreat is ideal to disconnect, find peace of heart and relax body and mind, since the yoga lessons have a therapeutic approach, adapting to each individual and needs. After a few days, you already feel renewed, cleaned and full of a new energy, approaching your daily life with a new mindset. The hikes and horse riding are a big plus, as we had the privilege to discover remote parts of this breathtaking area just in front of Morocco, not to mention the delicious dishes prepared by Victoria, which ally the flavors, freshness and quality of products from the South with the talent of a master chef.

"I couldn’t have been in a better place"
Lovely people, beautiful environment, great food and the nicest yoga practice. Everyone at Aventuras del Sur has her/his own passion and they are really good at it.
Sandra is a sweet person and a well educated yoga instructor who respects the individual body as well as the progress in yoga of her guests. I have pain in the lower back and her classes helped me with that.
Her mother Victoria cooks the greatest meals and I would definitely take a lesson in cooking if she would offer one. Every dish was total pleasure.
I can’t say much about the horse riding because I booked the yoga and hiking program. But the horses are quite impressing.
The hikes were a whole new experience to me. To see the beauty of nature, the wildlife of Betis Mountains which is like an Andalusian outback was astonishing.
In general I have to say I don’t know how it is still possible to find such an undiscovered place within all this tourist locations. But it excists and I was lucky to be a part of it for a week which passed so fast that I would have been happy to stay another one.
Besides the hacienda program you can do a lot in Tarifa: respectful whalewatching, visit the old town, eat a vegan meal in the city or shopping. My advice: be brave and rent a car you will need it to see other villages and cities like Vejer, Cádiz, Sevilla etc. or even to go to the beach. You could also go by bus to some spots but with a car it might be easier.
However I will definitely return!

"Lugar maravilloso, comida deliciosa, super caballos y yoga"
Me han encantado el lugar maravilloso y mágico, la naturaleza y el entorno de Betis (el perfume del bosque de pinos, las montañas, el canto de los pájaros al levantarse, el silencio de la noche, la vista impresionante hacia el océano y África), la comida casera deliciosa y de buena calidad de Victoria (que, incluso, ha preparado especialmente para mi la comida sin gluten!), las clases de yoga con Sandra (que hizo un excelente trabajo y es muy competente - ella sabe configurar las asanas individualmente a las personas y elegirlas con respecto al horseback riding; el yoga de Sandra - ideal para empezar el día con brío!)
Los caballos de Paco son muy amables, fiables y tienen buena educación. Paco sabe muy bien enseñar el paisaje y lugares mágicos, elegir un caballo apropriado para cada persona y guiar las rutas. Fue hermoso, montar a caballo por el ondulado y salvaje paisaje (cada día una ruta diferente con special highlights como la playita el Cañuelo).
Muchísimas gracias a Paco, Sandra, Victoria, Sacha y también a las super chicas que han compartido conmigo esa experiencia fenomenal!
Espero con entusiasmo volver otra vez!

"Mi casa, su casa!"
A completely different holiday experience than we have had before. My daughter and I were not sure what to expect, but the stay succeeded all expectations. It was the most relaxing, yet full on experience starting with yoga and meditation early morning, followed by a lovely breakfast then horse riding with Paco till early afternoon. Back to the finca/farm for lovely lunch by Victoria and time to relax on the beach in the afternoon. The food was always very delicious and homemade, the best you can expect from authentic Andalusian food. I would recommend this type of stay very highly and would love to do it again. It felt very much like home and we made some lovely friendships. We were 5 in total in our group (different nationalities) and I have not laughed this much in a long time! We had the best time. Miss this place already.

Location is amazing in the middle of countryside. If you like farm animals and like to experience, how it is to live with a spanish family, this is the place to bee. The privat room was spacious, clean, romantic and the view over the hills to Tarifa and beond over the sea to Morocco was breathtaking. Food is very good local family food - 10 points to Victorias paella! Riding in the forest and beaches is something you can experience only here. There was plenty of time in the afternoon to drive to Tarifa, Bolonia or do some hiking on the mountains close by. Yoga was very calming, opening and relaxing. Sandra is a very good instructor. We did every morning 2 h lesson inc. meditation etc. wich was the perfect way to start the day. Other arrangements for the time of the class would have been an option too. Everything was very relaxed and easygoing in aventuras del sur and you could see that here you trust and have a good faith in people.

"Beautiful place, amazing horses, awesome family"
What can I say, it was exactly what I was looking for. Sandra is just extremely caring for her guests and everbody's needs and Paco is amazing with his horses. Both, Yoga and horseback riding have been quite challenging and despite perfectly trained horses, I would only recommend the tours for experienced riders. Thanks to Vicky's cooking skills, food was very good, varied and authentic, the landscape is simply incredible. The whole surrounding and especially the hosts and how they care for the wellbeing of both, animals and humans, make this place so special.

The scenery is breathtaking and the horses are well-trained, although they live almost free. This was a very special experience! I recommend it to anyone who is looking for some calm days with a little bit of adventure.

"A magical location to do yoga and self-reflection"
I loved the horseback riding and yoga and of course the location is really special. It is very natural and rustic so people need to be prepared for that clothing wise and with their expectations. However, I thought it enhanced the experience and made me feel closer to the animals, who freely roam the village, and to nature in general. It is a family and volunteers run place which enhanced the home-y cosy feel. Paco was a great tour guide in the horseback riding and super friendly. He took us to many different beautiful spots and made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed. Pia is a very peaceful yoga teacher and helpled me work through things with her “intentions” for each lesson. The volunteers at the farm are super friendly and help translate when needed. The house is very beautiful with an amazing view over fields, down to the beach and then extending out to the ocean (viewing the African mountains in the distance). I took a few walks in the village and the animals roam freely and this adds to the beautiful, natural feel to everything. Anywhere you walked to in the village you had tremendous views. It was close to Tarifa (15 minute drive?) but far enough away to be away from the busy tourist feel. I absolutely loved the location.

"A place to find peace and happiness! "
The location is everything you can ask for. The view is amazing and you really can connect with nature, on the horseback, through walks or by drinking a tea in the garden. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel like a welcomed guest. The meditation varies so different techniques are learnt and the daily yoga class comes with a purpose which you can bring through the day. The horse riding is amazing on calm and very good horses in a beautiful environment. The meals are tasty and nourishing. The instructors are flexible with the times to make your stay as comfortable as possible which is highly appriciated. I’m so happy I went to this yoga and horse riding retreat!

"Couldn't have asked for more!"
Yoga, hiking and horseback riding, what a perfect combination! The location is absolutely stunning. I had a beautiful room with views over the garden, the mountains and Morocco. Belen is pretty remote which is just what you need if you don't want to interrupt your zen yoga mind with sensations from outside. The family was VERY welcoming and did everything to make us feel comfortable. Sandra and Victoria have treated us like gold, getting us enough blankets and heathers (is was a bit cold that week) and cooking us delicious meals. Mealtime was definitely another highlight!
The yoga and meditation were really good, Pia is a great teacher who breaths tranquility. It was a wonderful start of the day and I never minded waking up early for it. We had an introduction on the first day which was very valuable, I also really appreciated how we focused on different breathing techniques. Pia is very knowledgeable and will make sure to keep an eye on your yoga positions and do some gentle corrections if necessary. She and Sandra also took us for a beautiful hike, which made me fall in love with the surroundings even more!
The horseback riding was a great and beautiful adventure. Paco is very relaxed and took us for a gorgeous ride down to the beach of Boloña where all of us galloped (even this not super experienced chicken ;-)). The horses are treated very well and have a lot of freedom, it was impressive to see them come back by themselves from.. - who knows where ;-)

"An experience to lift your soul"
The time table of meditation and morning yoga followed by breakfast gave each day structure. Each session was perfectly planned so we were introduced to different techniques and themes. Our teacher Pia has such a wealth of knowledge and was very generous with her time.The evening sessions were totally different which added to my experience.
There was flexibility with hiking and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to see the wonderful landscape on horseback.
Our evening meal was prepared with much love and passion and was yet another highlight of each day.
My room was very comfortable and had magnificent views.

"Heaven must look like this!"
If you love horseriding and yoga, this is really the place to go. Everything was just perfect! The surroundings and views are picture perfect. Paco and Victoria have created a wonderful relaxing place in a great environment. Paco is great with the horses and is very gentle, easygoing and enthusiastic guide. Victoria and Sandra do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable and at home. The homecooked meals were a delight every day. Pia/Kristina is a very good and attentive yogateacher. The yoga helps to reduce muscle strain from the horseriding and during the week you will find out you will get on your horse easier and easier. As I said, the perfect combination. I feel really blessed that we could be a part of this family for a week and I will definitely return here soon. Cannot think of a better place to reload my batteries! This is really value for money.
