The Space

Set in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Sur, Cortijo Vadillo Yurt Centre takes its name from the old, local Andalucían word vadillo, which means ‘watery valley’. And the beautiful valley in which the Yurt Centre sits is indeed abundant with springs, fertile river farming land, and extensive local flora and fauna.
Entrance to the valley is heralded by the Nacimiento del Rio San Juan, where large spring water pools sit zen-like beneath a canopy of poplar trees. Circled by mountains covered with olive and oak trees, the valley has a secret, magical air, with the stunning views dominated by the large limestone cliff that keeps watch over the peace and tranquility below.
