Like-Minded People

Guests' ages range from the early twenties to the retirement years. (The holidays are not suitable for children.) Most come on their own, even if they have a partner.

Occupations vary widely but professionals and service-givers are well represented -  it's a place where they can meet their own needs for a change. However, people rarely spend time asking what others do back home: they are usually too engrossed in the here-and-now.

Some guests have experience of personal development or holistic methods, while others are quite new to them. The nice thing is that we often can't tell the difference when they are here on a course together!

Some of the things they especially appreciate at Cortijo Romero are aspects of its ethos, such as:

"Freedom and respect for everybody."

"Not just me, me, me - but also relationships, society, nature..."
