Writing Axarquía and Cómpeta Hikes have joined forces for a week of writing, walking and relaxation in Andalusia this September

Participants will be based at the tranquil Finca Los PInos in the mountainous Axarquía region. There will be guided walks with expert walking guides, daily writing workshops with experienced tutors Fiona Mason and Andrew Reynolds, and the opportunity to participate in creative imagination meditation. The principle is that combining a creative passion with another activity feeds the imagination and creatives a creative flow. There is free time for writing practice and relaxation built into the schedule, and the chance to share work and get feedback.

The retreat, which is suitable for writers of all levels (complete beginners are welcomed!), is fully catered with fresh, local, seasonal produce. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available on request. On two nights there will be live Spanish entertainment.

The retreat takes place from 4 to 9 September and costs €1245 for a twin room with shared bathroom, €1295 for a private room with shared bathroom and €1345 for a private room with private bathroom. There is a 20% early bird discount for bookings made before 16 June. The price includes accommodation for five nights, airport transfers from Malaga, all meals, hikes and tutored writing workshops, daily meditation, and optional visits to places of interest.
