Aphrodite Soul Journeys offers Inspirational Soul Retreats in Andalucia, Spain. Healing, self-nurture, rest and renewal is the core essence of these retreats. The experience of this spectacular mountain region in Spain will be a great attraction to those who enjoy a ‘back to nature’ ambience.

a natural paradise
Between the highest mountains in Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, Los Alpujarras is one of the most enchanting and beautiful regions in the world. The high mountains have their own special beauty, coming alive in early summer with the scents of wild herbs and the spectacle of tiny, brilliantly coloured flowers. Panoramic views are in every direction. There is something else here too - this area has a tangible energy, or what the Spaniards call ‘duende’ or spirit, which is peaceful and expansive. Whatever it is, it is something which remains more than just the beautiful countryside, the time-honoured local customs, the peacefulness and the warm Andalucian sun . . . Tranquility, simplicity and closeness to heaven and earth are the core elements. In these mountains the healing powers of nature are strongly felt pervading sensory awareness.

a bit of history
The Moors took refuge in these hills after they were expelled from Granada. Their legacy is to be seen everywhere in the distinctive architecture of the mountain villages which are beautiful in their simplicity – a picture to behold, glistening white in the sun, roses and geraniums spilling from every nook and cranny. A visit to these villages is a ‘must’.

daily rhythm
In true ‘aphrodite style’, this week will be devoted to gentle yoga, divine vegetarian cuisine, inspirational talks, self nurture, mountain walks, moonlight meditation, freshwater pool swimming . . .

food
Emphasis will be on delicious vegetarian food! Much of our daily food will come from the organic vegetable garden.

climate
The Andalucian sun is hot, yet not oppressive as it is tempered by breezes from the mountains and the sea. Most of our time will be in the open air.
