Return to the hotel for lunch. In the afternoon visit to the Moorish village of Iznatoraf, where an extensive Moorish legacy and a rich Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque and Modernist monumental heritage are perfectly blended. In the labyrinthine intimacy of its streets, the whiteness of its houses, the stone of its walls, everything leads us to a past with Arab, Jewish and Christian accents. Return to the hotel and dinner.

In the afternoon you will visit one of the largest oil cooperatives in Europe. Afterwards you will visit the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Fuensanta (in Villanueva del Arzobispo), with great spiritual influence, it was here that San Juan de la Cruz settled in a modest and austere convent, in the Calvary, to compose his Spiritual Canticle.

Organising your trip needs time and care to make sure everything goes smoothly. The more time you can give me to organise whatever you require: flights, transfers, golf courses, green fees, tee times, a day trip for the days you don’t play golf, a fishing trip, a visit to one of the major cities in Andalusia, especially if you would like to visit the Alhambra in Granada. The waiting list for tickets to see the whole complex is long. And, when they’re gone, they’re gone!
