How to combine an active holiday with relaxation 🏞️✨

November is perhaps one of the best months to discover Andalusia. The summer heat has disappeared, nature is at its most beautiful, and the beaches and hiking trails are uncrowded. It's the perfect time to alternate active days with pure relaxation.

At Casa La Quinta, we love a good balance: enjoying the outdoors, exploring the area, but also taking the time to truly unwind. In this blog, we share how we combine an active holiday with relaxation, so you get the most out of your stay.

1. Start the day actively: discover Andalusia on foot or by bike 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️

One of the best things about autumn in Andalusia is that the daytime temperatures are perfect for a long walk or bike ride. Whether you enjoy challenging mountain hikes or leisurely strolls through picturesque villages, there's something for everyone.

🌿 Our favorite routes:

El Torcal de Antequera – An otherworldly landscape with rugged rock formations.

The Caminito del Rey – A breathtaking path along cliffs (not for those afraid of heights!).

Along the White Villages – Discover Frigiliana, Mijas, or Ronda at a leisurely pace.

💡 Our tip: Start early in the morning. This way, you'll enjoy the fresh air and soft morning light, and you'll have the rest of the day to relax.

2. Enjoy the afternoon in peace ☀️

After an active morning, it's time to unwind. November in Andalusia still means warm, sunny afternoons, so find a quiet spot and recharge.

🧘‍♀️ What we love most:

Reading a book in the shade of an olive tree.

Lunching on a terrace overlooking the mountains.

Napping in a hammock, listening to nature.

Sometimes it's just about enjoying doing nothing, with a cup of coffee and a view that never gets old.

3. Immerse yourself in the Andalusian wellness experience 🛁

For us, relaxation isn't complete without a moment of pure pampering. Luckily, Andalusia is known for its Moorish baths and natural thermal springs.

💆‍♂️ Our recommendations:

Hammam Al Ándalus in Málaga – Relaxing baths in a fairytale setting.

Thermal baths of Alhama de Granada – A natural hot spring surrounded by nature.

A massage at Casa La Quinta – Because sometimes you don't need to go anywhere to relax. 😉

4. End the day with good food and a glass of wine 🍷

After a day full of activity and relaxation, there's nothing better than enjoying a delicious meal. November is also the time when the first olives are harvested and the winemakers present their new vintages.

🍽️ Our favorite autumn dishes:

Spicy lentil soup with chorizo – Perfect after a chilly day outside.

Fresh goat cheese with honey and walnuts – A local delicacy.

Braised lamb with rosemary – A flavorful dish for cooler evenings.

Pair it with a glass of red wine from Ronda and you have an evening that couldn't be better.

Experience the perfect balance at Casa La Quinta 🍃

At Casa La Quinta, we believe that a holiday is more than just being active or relaxing – it's the combination that makes it special. Enjoy nature, tranquility, and gastronomy, and return home fully recharged.
