Do you fancy going to Spain for a holiday but this time you would like to experience something more than a lazy tanning in a crowded beach?
This could be your opportunity to change 180° the way how to savour your free time.
| Views from the Sanctuary |
Do not settle for less than a true taste of the Spanish land.
Discover the authentic España.
Wild. Sunny. And delicious.
There is a place in the South of Spain which breathes savage air and has a completely distinct light.
This part of the Iberian Peninsula is one of the favourite destinations even for Spanish travellers.
It’s rich, beautiful and has an incredible variety of landscapes.
Sometimes all you need is to travel to an amazing place away from home to discover where your own treasure is hidden. Just as it’s written in the famous novella of Paulo Coelho, a Nobel prize author of the brilliant story “The Alchemist”, who was inspired by this place to start and end his fiction here.
Welcome to the territory of Andalusia, dear traveller, also known as "Andalucía" in the native spanish.
Submerge your spirit into the barbaric origins and first inhabitants of Europe.
It’s smartly hidden from the eyes of fast paced tourists and expensive shopping centres. It happens to be almost a privilege to find it on the map and only a few locals know about this sanctuary.
But it’s right here. The oasis for a hungry soul. El Cerro Jabalcón.
The mystery of climbing this sacred mountain had started long time ago and it’s still a living tradition for the local community who ascend the last Sunday of the month of April and walk under the heat or freeze of the capricious rocky heights to commit to their promises.
La Romería de la Virgen de la Cabeza
According to the wikipedia definiton, Romería(Spanish) is a religious pilgrimage. The term comes from romero/romeiro, meaning those travelling towards Rome. It is a celebration that consists of a peregrination that ends at a sanctuary or hermitage.
You don't need to believe in "Virgen de la Cabeza" or be Christian or belong to any other religion in order to climb these hills, as long as you join the togetherness of the crowd soul you will be able to connect with the wild nature.
There is an unspoken secret and only when you personally embrace the sacred spirit of these rough mountains, you will discover the hidden magic of life. Completely barefoot.
I can personally only recommend you to embrace this adventure when you are visiting Spain during the spring season in Andalusia. It's an enriching opportunity for your body and mind.
This Andalusian region near Granada has also a lot of to offer to their visitors. From unbelievable rough almost desertic landscapes, traditional delicious food to original ways of life of the first inhabitants of Europe who used to protect themselves from the weather adversities and build their homes deep inside the white rocks and constructed amazing ecological cave houses which are now available for vacational stay and add an authentic touch of a wild holiday experience in Spain.
Go ahead. Travel a lot. Enjoy life and heal your soul.
