Welcome to Cortijo Buena Vista!
Located at the beautiful lake Iznájar, with a gorgeous view of the lake and its surroundings, the Cortijo is the location where we hold our trainings for those interested. Not only are our facilities spacious, but participants also get to enjoy a quiet and calming environment in the Spanish countryside, suitable for getting into topics and reflecting on topics without interruptions from the outside world.
We however are not a hermitage; the town of Rute is just a short drive away and offers most things one would need regularly, including supermarkets, bars and restaurants, a health centre, etc. Furthermore, in this location, the Cortijo is about equidistant to most major cities in Andalusia, allowing easy trips to Córdoba, Granada and Málaga within an hour, with Sevilla being two hours away, in case participants want to include a day trip to one of our beautiful and culturally rich cities in the South of Spain.
Apart from the cultural riches of Andalusia, Cortijo Buena Vista also is nearby to a multitude of outdoor activities, with possibilities of water sports at the lake, scenic hiking routes around lake Iznájar and in nearby nature preserves, such as the beautiful Sierras Subbéticas or the Montes de Málaga, with also the Sierra Nevada and its winter resorts not being too far off (being nearby Granada).

We offer trainings on a variety of topics, currently including:
Counselling and life planning
Counselling techniques and life planning approaches, to help clients with laying out their circumstances, problems and goals, as well as helping in elaborating and planning solutions.
Gender stereotypes
Gender stereotype training, in order to reflect on practices in our social environments, influences on us and the biases we might hold.

Environment
Environmental approaches, dealing with sustainability and environmental protection, also with examples of the Spanish countryside and its transformation due to climate change.
Teambuilding
Teambuilding activities, to foster cooperation and communication within groups and establish common understanding and goals.
Participants who come to our trainings can be housed in apartments and rooms within the Cortijo (as available), or can be accommodated nearby in Rute.
