Creative Escapes Itinerary
Here at Creative Escapes we offer luxury holidays in Spain with a difference, it's a taster week!
Karen and Kathryn invite you to join us on a fully tutored craft activity holiday from our beautiful Cortijo.
Our week’s itinerary is varied and planned to encourage you to try many different activities and inspire your creativity.

​
The afternoon will be free for you to start enjoying your surroundings.
​
Dinner will be served in the early evening. Afterwards, you can relax and chat to your new friends.
