Activity Holidays in Spain

Overview

Activity holidays in Spain are a unique way to experience a holiday destination staple. Getting off-the-beaten-track in Spain is such a rewarding way to travel responsibly to one of the worst affected places for mass tourism. Our holiday itineraries will take you away from the tourism hotspots, or allow you to experience those places in a truly unique way. We want our guests to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that respects the locals too.

Whilst Spain’s beaches and sea view tapas bars are a well-trodden path for holidaymakers, travellers seeking out authentic Spanish life will be pleased to discover activity holidays in Spain and original Spanish experiences that will create memories to last a lifetime. On your Spanish adventure this year, add horse riding, pottery making or surfing into your itinerary alongside the usual sunbathing and sangria-drinking.

Our unique experiences and activity holidays in Spain will provide you with the best combination of culture and fun that the country has to offer. Explore the Spain that lies off the beaten path and you’ll soon find enriching experiences that help to create an unforgettable trip.

    What our travellers are saying...

    A beautiful setting. Friendly service. Horse-riding for all levels - beginner to expert. Group and private lessons. Day outings riding on the beach or the in the mountains. Very good horses, especially the Spanish stallions. Good family cuisine in the restaurant. Pool and bar for relaxing at the end of the day. Comfortable, functional rooms. Highly recommended.

    The Maylons

    Lovely place, great accommodation, my Spanish grammar really improved and the Surfing was excellent.

    D Smith, Ireland

    A beautiful location and a great experience.

    M Hills-Haney, UK

    Absolutely excellent experience from the accommodation to the classes and everything in between! Well organised! I will definitely be booking again!!

    D Kearns

    All the staff were friendly and I was tutored by Pedro Martin who was great fun and a superb teacher. He can speak multiple languages well and was fluent in English. He had good banter but was very serious about what he was teaching and has given me the blueprint to expand my playing to new levels.

    M Wright

    Second time I have done this flamenco guitar course and I loved it! Great teacher and staff and fellow students!

    W Sheikh

    I just wanted to send you a message to say that my client, Margaret Mortlock, who was on your retreat last week, absolutely loved it! She was nervous about going on her own and initially was saying how she wasn’t sure if she would join in all of the activities... however, she got involved with it all and has said that she has come back very relaxed! She was very complimentary about it all.

    Margaret Mortlock

    Julie and her team were wonderful! Accommodations were great. Beautiful atmosphere. Amazing food. Learned a lot and feel healthy. The other guests were all so nice as well. A really supportive environment.

    Jennifer

    The painting holiday was really well organised and the activities took us all over the mountains of Spain. Our hosts Vicky and Paul were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable regarding the local area. Food and accommodation were of the highest standard. I would highly recommend this wonderful experience.

    Linda O

    Had a great week watercolor painting in Torrox with my daughter. Thanks to Vicky and Paul for arranging a great personal experience with the group including beaches, the lost village, casa Marie, and a fun flamingo show. Also thanks to Dawn for her demonstrations and coordinating a final art show of all participants work. Is something we will always remember.
