Our guests know that we grow a lot of lavender in our garden which attracts a variety of bees and over 65 different species of butterflies. When the spent lavender was cut at the end of last summer, our daughter Sofi put this to good use making lavender bags to sell to guests. All proceeds going to our favourite local charity, the bearded vulture foundation . In just 2 months she has raised 72€ and there are still plenty more bags to sell to guests this year, starting next month with our holiday.

2024 looks to be another record-breaking year with several weeks already sold out. However we still have last-minute places on our 11th February snow shoeing and winter walking week. Join us for blue skies, solitary mountains and amazing wildlife.

Feliz día de San Úrbez.
Today 15th December is the day of our local Saint, San Úrbez who lived here in Albella in the 8th century as a humble shepherd before seeking more solitude in the mountains. We are blessed with this beautiful chapel built in his honour.

Miniature daffodils (narcissus assoanus) cover the south facing slopes on the way to the Chapel of San Úrbez. A prelude to the many native 🌸 we see during our walking and wildlife holidays.
