September Relaxing Break

For those of you who will be working during the Summer, why not treat yourself to a well deserved Relaxing break in Andalucia in September?

We have still a few places left on our September Relaxing Break (20th-23rd September 2011). If you would like to relax fully and be pampered while enjoying some stunning guided walks and well being therapies, this relaxing break will be ideal for you.

This Relaxing break is designed so you can recharge your batteries while being looked after, with attention to every detail, to ensure you enjoy fully your break and come back home fully rested and energised:

• Airport transfers and all transport
• Welcome drink before settling in in your room
• 3 nights half board (B&B and dinners) single or double occupancy in a luxurious boutique hotel/Restaurant just outside Ronda
• Handmade natural soaps and bath salts 
• 2 wellbeing therapies of your choice
• 2 morning guided walks

We are lucky to have in Ronda experienced and qualified therapists, who provide top quality wellbeing therapies. We can offer the following wellbeing therapies for total relaxation:

Reflexology - an in-depth foot massage including foot bath. Each part of the foot connects to a different organ in the body, vertebra, brain etc… So this massage helps to alleviate specific problems and also allows vital energy to flow through the body so that you can feel more balanced, healthy and grounded. Highly relaxing.

Shiatsu - a Japanese method of massage which works with the meridians (energy fluid lines) using pressure points to release blockages. Resulting in a more effective energy flow therefore leaving you less stressed and with a sense of improved wellbeing.

Thai massage - a 2500 year old technique for relaxing the body and calming the mind. Ideal after walking as it can help to relieve back pain, tense shoulders and neck, stiffness, sciatica, etc....

Reiki - a highly relaxing natural healing technique based on Universal Life Force, channelled through the practitioner's hands.

Light Touch Reflexology - less pressure applied than traditional reflexology, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys reflexology but prefers a softer touch. This treatment is wonderfully relaxing and soothing and leaves you feeling relaxed and revitalised.

Relaxing break in andalucia, Spain

It is now getting rather hot in our Genal Valley, Andalucia, and the walking season is winding down now. We have been busy though walking with another delightful guest, Barbara, who joined us for a Relaxing break in Andalucia.

We went walking in the morning to different white villages of the Genal Valley (Alpandeire where we had great views over Morocco, Cartajima and Parauta) and, as Barbara was very fit, we also walked in the stunning Biosphere Reserve of la Sierra de las Nieves where we walked up a steep footpath through the indigenous Pinsapo pines, stopping to take in the views and the flowers still in bloom. After about a 400 m climb, our effors were rewarded by the superb views over Ronda, San Pedro (Costa del Sol), the Genal valley and its white villages and Torrecilla (the highest peak in the National park at over 1900 meters). We then meandered down a wider track and stopped to have a picnic half way down while enjoying the views. We went to see afterwards, the impressive 26 meters high Pinsapo de las Escalateras nearby.

Barbara also enjoyed some of the wellbeing activities on offer and the complementary natural soaps and bath salts which are handmade in Andalucia and sold in Ronda in the Andalucia Soap Campany shop owned by Sara, a friend of ours, situated Calle Sevilla 23. David, actually kindly gave to Barbara these lovely natural products that he has available in the hotel and this made us decide to make it part of our Relaxing Break packages. It will be indeed great for our future guests to enjoy beautiful walks and then relaxing massages or natural face-lifting massages, etc... followed by a lovely bath with natural handmade salts...

Thank you once again Barbara for your kindness and generosity and for the lovely time we had in your company.

We have also decided to have now a minimum number of 2 bookings for our Relaxing breaks so that our guests don't feel too lonely in the evenings in the hotel Bandolero, when it is quiet, as was the case with Barbara.

We are not scheduling any walking holidays now until september but our Relaxing Breaks in Andalucia, Spain are available throughout the Summer. It is in fact an ideal time as you can also make the most of the hotel swimming pool! Click on the following link if you would like to find out more about our Relaxing breaks in Andalucia.
