About us The project La Fuente is a project that sprung from a dream of o ering people a quiet peaceful spot where they can connect with nature, their loved ones and with themselves. A place where sustainability and health is the main focus and where people can get away from the stress and noise of daily life to work on any personal or private project, or just relax in a peaceful spot. We use only green energy and most of the food we provide are grown in our organic gardens of the property. Being located at 1100 meters above sea level in a natural park with no close neighbours makes our pla- ce the perfect spot to unwind and find silence and relaxation. The space La Fuente has nine guest rooms that all have en-suite toilet and shower. Choose between a queen size bed or a room with two single beds. All of them leads out into a sheltered court yard with a canopied seating area surrounded by colourful flowers and a fountain in the middle. The common areas consists of a library, a massage room, a dining area and a lounge with a fire- place. Outside there is a pool as well as a fire heated jacuzzi that is amazing to relax in under the starry sky at night. The tap water is fresh and drinkable, coming straight from the mountains. Location Lecrin Valley is the name of the area La Fuente retreat belongs to. It is located in between Grana- da and the coast, which means that the coast as well as Granada is about a 40 minutes drive away. For those of you who like winter sport, the ski resort is within less than an hour away. At a distance of 45 minutes from the airport of Granada and about one hour and a half to the air- port of Malaga, the place is easy enough to access but still the last climb up the mountain invites you to leave all your problems at the bottom and step out of the car in La Fuente parking as a lighter person. Team We are a group of six adults and three children who after several years of travelling to explore community life, sustainability, yoga, meditation and hospitality we are now opening up our own retreat centre where we can o er people what we believe in and the skills that we have gained along the way. We live in an apartment connected to the centre and will be available to welcome and serve our guests during their stay. Frida is a yoga teacher and a massage therapist, that is happy to o er a Balinese Massage or a yoga lesson for a group or a private person, Chiara is also a Yoga teacher. Franco, Sebastian, Camila and Giles are responsable of organising the additional activities and tours we o er, to keep the garden full of veggies, and everything the center needs everyday.
What to expect at La Fuente YOGA The practice of yoga strives to bring each individual closer to one’s true self by increasing the connection between mind body and soul, and this is something that we in La Fuente feel very deeply about. After practising yoga for many years and feeling the benefits of the philosophy and practice firsthand, our wish is to share our knowledge with other people and also provide a plat- form where yoga is to be felt not only by performing the body postures but also in the food that we serve and in how we treat each other and the land we live on. We wish to help each individual on their personal journey towards health and wellbeing and according to us, yoga is a powerful guide on this journey. We want to be a place where workshops and retreats can be held related to yoga, meditation, mindfulness and other ways of getting a deeper connection with ourselves and others. The duration of the retreats and workshops can vary from anything like a single class to a ten day retreat. THE YOGIC LIFESTYLE La Fuente retreat centre is completely o the grid and run by an extensive solar system with the latest in green technology. The tap water on the centre is fresh and clear - coming straight from the mountains. We are having big organic plantations of vegetables and fruit trees that we keep extending with the aim of getting us closer to self su ciency in the food that we provide. Every step that we take in this project is carefully selected to not intrude too much on the Earth’s re- sources. For us this is closely linked to the yogic lifestyle in the sense that it strives to create ba- lance and harmony of the planet and ultimately also to us who inhibit it. EXPERIENCES Here at La Fuente retreat centre we want you to get the best out of your stay. The site itself invites you to relax and get in touch with nature and with yourself and your loved ones. Many people that come here do it for the tranquility and are happy to just enjoy the swimming pool with its sunbat- hing chairs, the fire heated jacuzzi or sit and read a book under the canopies in the court yard or on one of the many benches we have around the property. That way the can take time to really absorb the natural beauty of this haven in the mountains. Aside from that there is a lot of free-of-charge experiences to do in and around the centre. We have prepared a meditation walk around the olive and almond plantation that stretches across mainly flat land and is perfect for those that enjoy walks of a not so demanding level. There will be short meditation exercises along the way that can be done if wished and at your own pace. To fully appreciate the high location of our property with its incredible views we recommend you to follow our pre-marked mountain walk that takes you above and beyond the centre and usually takes between 30-40 minutes to complete. La Fuente view point is located about 50 metres abo- ve the house and is another way of getting incredible views without moving far from the centre.
