ASTRONOMY SESSION
TO SEE THE PLANETS AND THOUSANDS OF STARS
A personal recommendation? Don’t miss the astronomy evening under the stars.
National Geographic Traveler, September 2021The astronomical experience is one of our most popular experiences because the skies are simply beautiful from our property. Our stronomers are also very good storytellers, so even those who are not interested in the stars fall in love with the stories. They bring one of the largest portable telescopes in the world so guests can see Venus, Saturn and the craters of the moon with their own eyes.
MAGICAL EVENINGS WITH THE SPANISH GUITAR
Fill your nights with music as our romantic hacienda is the perfect backdrop for the soothing sounds of the Spanish guitar. A classical Spanish guitarist will perform the beautiful songs of Andalucia, as well as of famous Spanish composers, just for you in our Alhambra-inspired courtyard, your private terrace, by the fireplace, or in the gardens.
INTERACTIVE PAELLA COOKING CLASS
Our in-house chef will teach you how to prepare Spain’s favorite dish in our spacious hacienda-style master kitchen. You will learn everything from the authentic ingredients required for a tasty paella to the cooking techniques for creating the burnt rice effect that sets a great version apart from all the others.
Afterwards sit down at the kitchen table and enjoy your own cooking for a real gastronomic experience.
