Mallorca, Spain
October 22-27, 2022
A fall itinerary devoted to Mallorca’s culinary culture, the olive oil and the harvest. The dry stone walls on which the olive trees grow on the Sierra Tramuntana and the countryside around our home in the mountains, will inspire our journey on and around the island, through celebratory meals, gentle walks and delicious cooking sessions outdoors.
This Españolita Retreat will be hosted in a dreamy privately owned estate, built over olive tree groves. Son Ru is a quiet rustic oasis hidden in the heart of the Tramuntana mountains, close to the beautiful towns of Valldemossa and Deiá, and from which guests can admire the gorgeous Mediterranean sea view, or swim in the pool. The house is full of enchanting corners ideal for meditation and reading. From there we will set off to our different activities, site visits, and workshops.
DISCOVER
We will take slow walks through charming villages, and do wine tastings while we slowly enjoy an open fire, and get to see the sunset by the sea from one of the most magical viewpoints on the island. We will walk through olive tree groves, off the beaten path, and learn the processes of ancient oil mills.
We will explore remote spots and turquoise coves hidden for most.
We will learn from a local artisan and indulge in cooking sessions. All the while, we will be examining local cuisine through patio dinners and gatherings under the stars.
