ITINERARY.

An extensive cultural knowledge, the most natural beauty and excellent-quality cuisine were three main elements in the daily lives of the ancient queens. We have carefully curated the itinerary of this tour to blend these three ingredients into a journey of discovery of the province of Cádiz.


As a retreat experience, every day will start with a yoga class at the villa that will allow us to awaken our senses and enjoy each day with full awareness. After that, the magic will begin...

  • Day 1. Welcome to Cádiz!

    Our adventure in Cádiz will begin with transfers from Jerez de la Frontera airport or San Fernando train station. You will be welcomed to your beautiful villa, settle in and enjoy with a welcome cocktail and buffet dinner with your host and fellow women travellers, which will allow us to start our retreat calmly and get ready for an exciting week.
