Location

Cortijo Caseria Del Mercado is a small organic farm high in the Alpujarras mountains of Andalucia, southern Spain.

In addition to the huge array of fruit and vegetables grown on site, the farm has goats, horses and a peacock breeding sanctuary. The farm also produces its own organic olive oil.

Not only is the Cortijo a working farm it has been adapted as a retreat centre with traditional Spanish accommodation, a natural mineral water swimming pool, yoga shala and indoor acro space.

The local area is fantastic hiking country with spectacular mountain views and isolated “White villages” (paint).

  • Hold a handstand at the wall for at least a minute.

  • Thighstand (any variation)
  • Foot to Hand (any variation)

  On your application you will be asked to rate your comfort level in the following…. while they are not prerequisites, the more experience you come with the more you will gain out of the training!

  Send us a video showing a 1-2 minute acrobatic flow of your choice.

  The video should represent where you are at skill-wise, however, it doesn’t need to be all of the craziest things you can do—think elements from the preqs! The video also doesn’t need to be of high production quality, a quick one on your cell phone is fine.
