Our home away from home: Los Algarrobles Casa and Nature Reserve -supported by Lucia Yoga
We will travel about 90 minutes from Malaga into the hills of Andalusia to spend our week in sacred community and communion with nature. Whitewashed villages or Pueblos blancos serve as the gateway (and winding roads as guardrails) to our yoga retreat center, Los Algarrobales, as operated by Lucia Yoga.
The center is nestled up to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park which boasts over 125,000 acres of mountains, forests, water formations, and limestone caves.
Immerse in the peace of nature while enjoying rural luxury accommodations in European farmhouse style, five swimming pools surrounded by breathtaking scenery and multiple hiking routes.
During your stay you will enjoy the spectacular views of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and Lake Zahara- El Gastor, which can be seen from each of the houses.

Grace is a 500 ERYT, a YACEP provider, and an Ayurveda Wellness Counselor. Her classes, whether restorative or flow, are infused with her passions, and quest for magic and joy.
"Every retreat with me is equal parts adventure and rest. All retreats with me are intentionally, and respectfully, curated with love, magic, and Yoga as the core practices. We have immense love and reverence for the stewards of these practices, and acknowledge the subcontinent of India for the codification of Yoga. Magic happens by saying YES to yourself, and allowing yourself to be present to what is happening around you. Southern Spain is the perfect scenery to Drop Out, and Tune In. Drop out of your normal life, and tune in to yourself and your inner sparkle."
