Retreat location
Located Arenas de San Pedro, Sierra de Gredos; El Pagano is a rural center aiming to integrate the traveler into an ideal natural space for observing birds, mammals, and multiple floral species.
Complement of the place are the multiple energetic activities carried out (Yoga, Tai-Chi, Reiki). These activities are an exercise that completes the connection with the location.
The insistent work of recovering the floral variety carried out by Manolo is an example that man and the environment can and must coexist.
Welcome to El Pagano, an oasis for the soul.
