PRICES FOR OUR ECO FARMSTAY BETWEEN GUADIX AND GRANADA.


What we are offering.
Full-board accommodation in a remote Eco Farmstay with organic produce

Option 1: Accommodation for hikers on the Camino between Guadix and Granada
Guadix to Granada is 65km and is usually a 3 day hike. The most common way of incorporating our Farmstay into the Camino is to start off in the centre of Guadix. There is then a 27 km hike with an uphill of 712m to arrive at our farm. The route is HERE. When you continue walking, the route is HERE. If that sounds too strenuous, you could stay at the Spa Hotel in Baños de Graena CLICK HERE which is 12km from Guadix. The next day, you would walk down to the village of Quéntar and you would arrive in Granada the following day. We offer a pick up service if you or one of your companions is not fit enough.

Option 2: De-stress relaxation - recharge your batteries
We are in the middle of nowhere and maybe 4 or 5 cars go past each day. You can spend your time reading books, lazing around, listening to the birds, etc. There are lots of walks in the vicinity. All our food is very healthy and delicious.

Option 3: Learn about Eco Living
All our enegy is generated by solar power and the hot water is heated by the sun. We are very knowledgeable about gardening, food storage, soap making, breadmaking, olive farming, alternative technologies, automation, solar power etc. If you want to find out if your dream of living off-grid in Spain is a good idea, come and experience it for yourself. Sarah has many years of experience dealing with Spanish bureaucracy if you need advice.

Option 4: Escape from the Summer heat
The summer heat in Spain in July and August can be unbearable. We are at an altitude of 1300 metres. It is much cooler than many places in Spain with dry mountain air. The temperature in the summer is often over 10ºC cooler than the coast. It is still quite hot around 16:00 but it is much more bearable. No AC is necessary. Hang out by the pool and eat amazing organic food - much better than even the most expensive restaurant.

Option 5 : Base for a hiking holiday
Sarah and I are walk leaders of walking groups around Granada and on the coast. We go out hiking most Sundays and you can come with us if you are with us on a Sunday. We normally have 25-30 people on our walks. We organise our public walks using Facebook groups. If you want to see the type of walk we do, look at SENDERISMO EN GRANADA, a mainly Spanish group with walks around Granada. Sexisenderistas. A group which do walks near the coast of Granada. Just tell us what you want and we'll see what we can do.
