This retreat will take place in Andalusia, Spain. Spring is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Suryalila in southern Spain. During this period, Andalusia bursts with magical colors, fruits, and fiestas. Suryalila Yoga Retreat Center is situated on a quiet country lane, between the charming white villages of Villamartin and Prado del Rey. It is nestled serenely in a large open valley in the foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema. This majestic mountain range can be seen looming large on the horizon behind Suryalila.
A striking part of the natural beauty of the property is the breathtaking vista extending in all directions: rolling hills, fields of sunflowers, and lakes. The sense of vastness and expansiveness is very uplifting. Suryalila is a beautiful old renovated olive farm consisting of eight houses that form the Cortijo. In typical Spanish style, there are two inner courtyards, one of which blooms with orange and lemon trees. The property sits on 45 acres of land and is still a working olive farm with 350 olive trees. Organic vegetables and fruits are grown here and chickens for eggs are kept.
