2019 A different kind of holiday • INSPIRING • REJUVENATING • EMPOWERING
Introduction
At Cortijo Romero, we offer a different kind of holiday. Although many
of the key features of any good holiday are here – the magnificent
setting, the fabulous climate, and the great food – there is something
else too. The holiday is centred around the course of your choice.
This means you’ll arrive and immediately meet a group of like-minded
people with whom you can connect. Some courses will be focused on
a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday; others on a creative or wellbeing
week, and still others on personal transformation and change. All our An ama ing place real escape
course facilitators are experienced and will support each person and
