PRACTICAL INFORMATION ON COURSES

Accommodation, meals and facilities:

Access to Iscles is exclusively for 4×4 vehicles prepared to drive in mud, this and the isolated situation mean that the only possibility to attend the courses is to stay and eat in the village itself. For this reason, we offer all-inclusive courses, with accommodation fees and subsistence costs are no included in the course fees. Please consult those on the courses page.

Accommodation can be in the room in the common house, the former village school, which can accommodate about ten people, or in a tepee six metres in diameter, which can accommodate another ten people. If you prefer more privacy, you can pitch your tent in one of the many meadows in the surrounding area. In all cases we have mattresses available for all participants, whether they stay in the house, in the tipi or in private tents.

The meals are home-made in the village, mostly from our own orchard and chicken coops, with organic or quality raw materials. We prepare it with love and dedication, always including a delicious dessert. In principle, the diet is ovo-dairy-vegetarian, and if any meat dishes are prepared, there will always be an alternative for non-meat eaters. In case of vegans or people with special needs, please notify us marking your needs at the registration form

We have a hot shower in the common house and during the hot season an outdoor shower. Dry toileta near the common house and tipi area, as well as a twelve-volt electrical installation suitable for charging mobile devices. We have limited internet access and only a few distant spots (short walk) have mobile coverage

How to get here?

You can get there by car up to two kilometres before Iscles, from a dirt road that leaves Cajigar, where there is a parking area.

For those who do not have a vehicle, we will organise a pick-up in Tolva (Huesca), as it is the nearest village with a main road. There is a daily service of two or three Alsina Graellsbuses coming from Barcelona and stopping in Lleida. For those who come by bla bla car or similar the pick up point will also be Tolva. In any case, we will organise the trips prior to each course, in order to try to optimise the pick ups as much as possible.

The final stretch of road will be done with our 4×4 vehicles, in case you have your own off-road vehicle, please consult beforehand, because depending on the weather the road can be impassable if you are not well prepared.
