Southern Spain
Flavours of the Spanish Countryside
Spain’s gastronomy reflects the country’s epicurean lifestyle, with signature dishes inspired by its rich history and regional cultures.
From the famous paella dish born in the historical city of Valencia to the gazpacho and jamon iberico of Andalusia, and the world-famous tapas culture throughout the country, there is a gastronomic story to be told in every corner of Spain.
La Nava Lodge, nestled in the heart of Spain’s picturesque countryside in the province of Ciudad Real, will be the setting of your culinary retreat, and you will be welcomed here with a special gourmet lunch at La Nava’s main house. After settling in, a scenic photographic safari across the sprawling estate awaits, encouraging you to capture the beauty of local wildlife and landscapes. During your stay, learn the art of crafting authentic Spanish paella with a masterclass led by the estate’s private chef, participate in a mixology session, and get your adrenaline pumping away from the kitchen with a rage buggy race on the estate’s dirt track. To learn more about Spain’s fascinating culture, let us whisk you away on a private plane or helicopter to an authentic estate in Seville, where bulls are bred for traditional Spanish bullfighting, and see if you have what it takes to become a true matador.
Your Spanish adventure will conclude with a tour of the impressive countryside of La Nava fields either by horseback, on a 4×4 safari, or with a gentle hike. Escape to the peaceful countryside of La Nava Lodge and experience Spain’s charm through breathtaking scenery, exhilarating adventure, and gastronomical excellence.
