WEEKEND EXCURSIONS
Axarquia is the region of Andalucía immediately east of Malaga; with a wealth of history, culture and beauty to explore from its white-washed villages high in the mountains to its golden sandy beaches and all that is in between. During your stay, you will have the chance to experience some of what the region has to offer. Most of our excursions take place on a Sunday, and as a group, you will be able to choose which of our activities you would like to participate in. You will be accompanied on these excursions by members of our clinical support team. Read below to see some of the possible options.

There are also temporary exhibits, educational lectures and activities.
