Above - The room we would use for yoga. It can accommodate 16 yogis and has wonderful views across to the mountains of the Picos de Europa National Park.
In April I visited the Hotel Torrecerredo in Las Arenas in Northern Spain to arrange a 4 day yoga retreat in 2025. It is a wonderful location in the foothills of the mountains of the Picos de Europa seen towering behind the green Asturian hillsides, with walks, bike rides, and river activities close by.
The hotel is run by warm, friendly owners (Jim and Pilar) and lovely staff, who provide excellent food in an easy comfortable setting.
The next step is to provisionally book a yoga retreat for 2025. Ideally, we would love to hire the whole hotel. It has 16 double rooms and 3 single rooms (prices below). We would arrive at the hotel on a Sunday evening and leave on a Thursday morning. The prices quoted are per day in Euros and include half board (breakfast and dinner) as well as a picnic lunch for exploring the area between yoga classes. On Tuesday evening, we would be free to wander into town to have a meal at one of the restaurants. We had a very tasty tapas at a restaurant while we were there. The possible dates for 2025 are listed below for you to indicate which dates you can attend.
Yoga classes will be held from 7am to 9am followed by a lovely breakfast. Thereafter, you are free to explore the area or relax around the hotel until an afternoon session from 4.30 to 6pm and dinner will be at 7pm. We will transport a base set of equipment for the sessions.
If you would like to bring a friend, your partner, a daughter or son, to share the room with, even if they don’t want to join in with the yoga sessions, they can enjoy a holiday.
It is up to you to arrange your transport to and from Spain. If you fly, the hotel provides transfers to and from Bilbao, which is approximately a 2hr15 trip (prices below). Flights are from Bristol to Bilbao or you could choose to add a few days onto the retreat either side by using one of the ferry services.
Las Arenas with shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars is an easy 5-minute walk away.
