You book a place, not a house: join a scheduled hosted week as an individual — every meal cooked for you, breakfast, a light lunch and a home-cooked dinner every day, vegetables from our own garden, and every drink from the house included. No forced single supplement: twin-share at no extra charge, or take a room of your own for an optional supplement.
Walking, cycling, riding, yoga, surf and more — real dates, real availability, priced per person. Every week is booked through Spice Escapes, our exclusive booking partner (ATOL 9046).
Our exclusive booking partner hosts trips all year for people travelling on their own — city breaks, cruises, ski weeks and more, all ATOL-protected. If this valley or these dates aren’t right, they almost certainly run something that is.

10 weeks run here since 2023 — proof that groups keep coming back to this valley.











You come on your own — most people do. You join a scheduled group week as an individual, and the house is fully hosted and catered, so there's no whole-house booking and nothing to organise. You arrive solo and leave having shared a table, a valley and a week with the group.
Not a forced one. Solo guests can twin-share at no extra charge — you are matched with a same-sex room-mate, and if no match is found the room supplement is covered for you. Prefer a room entirely to yourself? That is available as an optional supplement, clearly priced. Tell us your week and we will confirm the exact terms.
Fully catered — never self-catering. Casa Agara is fully catered: your hosts live on site, cooking breakfast, a light lunch and a home-cooked dinner every day, with vegetables from the house's own garden. You never arrive to an empty kitchen.
Breakfast, a light lunch and a home-cooked dinner every day, with vegetables from our own garden, and every drink from the house (wine, beer and local spirits) included, all day. The light lunch is taken at the house, or carried with you as a picnic if the day is a walk. It is not half board: lunch is included. Groups are out for the day.
Each week is hosted by a tour operator who brings the programme, while your host looks after the house itself. Casa Agara is operator-agnostic — any walking, cycling, riding, yoga or activity operator can run a week here. Spice Escapes are our longest-standing partner, hosting weeks here since 2023, not our only one.
There's no bad month. Late spring and summer are for the coast and long light; September and October bring the deer rut and autumn colour; winter means empty trails and the fireplace. Green Spain is green because it rains, so come ready for weather in any season.
