The idea
Four days of mountain yoga, long walks and very good food in a white village high in the Sierra Nevada.
Capileira sits at 1,400 metres, right at the top of the Poqueira gorge, and it is the kind of place that resets people. Whitewashed houses, water running down every street, and the Sierra Nevada straight above you.
We stay at Finca Los Llanos, a family-run hotel with a pool, a terrace built for long breakfasts, and its own restaurant. Mornings start with yoga looking at the mountains. Days are yours — a proper hike, a wander through the village, or a book by the pool.
This is a small group, and it fills on word of mouth. Sam has run it with Marco — who cooks, and who will happily talk Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at you over dinner — for several years now.
Daily mountain yoga
Morning flow on the terrace, plus evening breathwork and relaxation.
Guided hiking
Sierra Nevada trails for every pace, from a gentle village loop to a full day out.
All meals included
Every meal at the hotel restaurant, Gloria, plus afternoon refreshments.
Rooms to suit you
Singles, doubles, triples and junior suites with balconies over the valley.

Questions
Before you book
How fit do I need to be?
Fit enough for a few hours of walking on a hill, if you want to do the big days. There is always a shorter option, and skipping the walk entirely is a perfectly good plan.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. Most people do. A single room is available if you would rather not share, and the group eats together every night.
What if I do not do yoga?
Then you will by Monday. Sessions are all-levels and nothing is compulsory.
How do I get there?
Fly to Málaga or Granada and we will help coordinate a shared transfer up to the village once the group is confirmed.
When do I have to pay in full?
CONFIRM: state the balance date here once agreed.
