What an amazing singing retreat! Set in the beautiful mountains of Spain, the whole experience was just magical. We stayed at a gorgeous finca with the loveliest hosts, Vicky and David, who made us feel so welcome.
The singing sessions were brilliant — lots of great singing, laughter and fun, with such a lovely group atmosphere. And the food was absolutely delicious, thanks to the wonderful Italian cook, Kiara!
A really special few days in a beautiful setting. I came home feeling happy, inspired and definitely singing a little louder! Would absolutely recommend.
An excellent Afro-Cuban singing retreat in an exceptional setting, with wonderful teachers and hosts. I not only recommend it, I will definitely be back.
Thank you for making everything so easy and natural.
Excellent retreat ! Great people to explore music with ❤! The house and grounds are very peaceful; the week was fun and restorative for me. I recommend it!
What a fantastic experience this Afro-Cuban singing retreat was! The setting was wonderful, and the professionals were excellent! Thank you so much, Vicky and David, for teaching us these beautiful songs.
We have done a great week. Vicky and dave gave all their love and power to creat community with wonderfull songs. We really succeded to learn that dificult stuff! And in the end even everybody song a solo voice! What big steps forward!
Great place, beautiful scenery, friendly people, and even better music. Highly recommended for beginners and anyone wanting to enjoy Latin music. A very good experience.
I absolutely loved spending time with Vicky and Dave and a fantastic group learning Afro-Cuban songs!
The food was super tasty and nourishing, and the views from the finca, overlooking the sea, with golden skies and the Milky Way, were truly unforgettable.
But what I loved most was spending time with these amazing human beings, who are genuinely devoted to music, teaching, and community-making in such a fun, humble, down to earth and heartfelt way. These are qualities I’ve rarely found in teachers, so meeting Vicky and Dave felt like a precious gift that brought a lot of joy into my life.
I can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
