Andalucía Accommodation & food

“Guided by Mother Nature, the food is super fresh, local and seasonal.”

-Times Online, Sept 2011

Accommodation

Wildfitness guests stay at the 17th century beautiful Cortijo near the pretty village of Arcos de la Frontera. The Cortijo has 16 bedrooms, arranged around a courtyard hung with grape vines and shaded by orange trees. The bedrooms all have heating (it can still be a bit nippy at night in Spring) and very modern bathrooms with tonnes of hot water (mostly solar heated but with boosters too), hair dryers and some have baths. Rooms have breath-taking views of the wild surrounding hills. There are many places to chill out inside and outside, with chairs in the gardens, courtyard and by the pool; communal rooms with fires, including a library and ‘retire to drink brandy (or herbal tea)’ room. 

Menus

Most of the food we source is grown organically in the local area by neighbouring farmers. There are also rabbit and pigeon shot on the estate (although Spring is not the shooting season, so it will have been frozen). Wild asparagus and herbs are grown near the Cortijo, and you can get involved with harvesting them if you feel like it. 

The menu provided on the course has been adapted to follow our wild hunter-gatherer principles (see Wild Eating page for details). We can also provide a personalised menu for vegetarians or those with specific allergies.  

    The Cortijo is that amazing mix of authenticity, style, homeliness and comfort.

    • 2 Week Revitalise Course

      This course covers all the basics of our 1 week Boost course, but allows you to gain real confidence in the core skill areas of boxing, kettle bells and wild running, plus you will have more opportunity to use your new-found energy with extra fun activities and will really see and feel the difference in your body. Note: the 2 week Revitalise courses running in Andalucía and Crete are not dedicated 2 week courses. The majority of guests will be arriving for a one week course, and the 2 week course is made up of two one week courses. For the first two days of the second week, Revitalise guests will be split off into a smaller group for all skill sessions and join the rest of the new group for other sessions. Several of the sessions during the second week will be different but some will be the same.
