Spain Ecovillage Tour
8 DAYS | May 1—8, 2027
Find renewal and regeneration in Southern Spain this spring.
Southern Spain is a land of striking contrasts—whitewashed villages, olive groves stretching to the horizon, and desert valleys alive with resilience. Beneath the sun-drenched beauty, a new movement in regenerative living is flourishing.
On this journey through Andalusia and beyond, you’ll visit pioneering communities restoring both land and spirit through permaculture, natural building, and creative collaboration. From olive oil cooperatives to off-grid sanctuaries and eco-education centers, each stop reveals a unique approach to living with purpose and connection.
You’ll share meals prepared from local harvests, learn from residents practicing deep ecology and community governance, and experience how regeneration thrives even in the most arid landscapes. Join Fernando and our team of local guides for the second annual Spain Ecovillage Tour!

Travel Planning
Flights
We recommend booking a flight that arrives at the Seville Airport / Aeropuerto de Sevilla–San Pablo (SVQ) in Seville, Sapin. The better deals are often found in advance so we encourage you to book as soon as possible.
Start
Our tour will begin at 2pm local time on the start date at the SVQ Airport. Please plan to arrive by 2pm or earlier that day, in order to be picked up at the airport along with the rest of the group.
End
Our tour will end back at the SVQ where the journey began. We will arrive by 4pm local time on the last day of the tour, so participants can book a flight out anytime that evening or we can drop you off at a nearby location.
Weather
The Southern Spain Ecovillage Tour takes place in early May—a beautiful time to experience Andalusia’s vibrant landscapes and communities.
Expect plenty of sunshine and dry weather, with daytime temperatures typically between 24°C and 30°C (75°F to 86°F). Some inland areas can reach up to 35°C (95°F), while coastal regions stay a bit cooler thanks to the sea breeze.
Evenings are pleasantly mild, usually around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F), ideal for dining outdoors and enjoying the long, golden sunsets of the Mediterranean spring.
Packing
A full packing list will be provided after booking the tour. Laundry service will be available at some of our locations. We ask that you only bring a day pack and one carry-on sized luggage due to limited space in our vehicle.
We recommend packing breathable clothing, a sun hat, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes to stay cool and enjoy the tour's immersive experiences under the Spanish sun. Please pack a light scarf (for coverage from the sun and to dip in cold water.) Don’t forget your bathing suit for swimming!
