Practical details

Please keep in mind the following conditions at the retreat:

Firstly: Astonishing views: a prairie, rivers, waterfalls, forests and peaks.
Restrooms are unisex.
The mountain retreat is self-sustaining through solar panels, so the use of hair dryers and other electronic devices is very limited and always under permission.
The retreat will be closed for us, but the guards still live there and need to rest: 23.00 - 7.00 are quiet hours.
There is no mobile signal up there. Students won't be able to use the phone, except for taking pictures. For emergencies: +34 974348289. (We have found out that the lack of signal and internet is a strong point for a natural immersion!)
The building is reachbar by bus, so there's no need for a rucksack for your luggage, but bring a backpack of at least 20 liters for the hikes.
A car will be at our disposal at all times in case of an emergency (that won't happen! :-)

FOR THE ART PROJECT:

Students will need their phones (or cameras if they have one) to take pictures, and they will also need to previously install in their phones the following app:

Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY.

FOR THE ACTIVITIES:

Clothes and shoes must be appropriate for the activities (see list below).
All extra materials needed for the activities will be provided.

(raincoat or gore tex jacket ). Please avoid tank tops, to prevent chafing caused by

your backpack.
