Meals are included in the price of this retreat but if you need any additional item we are here to help.

We offer a few items that can be consumed at breakfast or anytime of the day such as coffee, tea, cow and oat milk, bread, jam, and butter and some seasonal fruit.

Also, spices, dressings, and other cooking basics are also included in your stay.

We do organise family dinners, lunches, and now and then we host a BBQ, brunch or shared meal.

The communal kitchen is fully equipped and can be used by everyone.

Ten minutes walk from iSlow Coliving you’ll find a big supermarket, shops, and restaurants. 

No need to have a car. The price of this experience include the transportation to the hikes from the coliving and back from the hikes.

We can also help you organise your trip to our coliving and arrange an airport transfer from Santiago or  A Coruña, or any of the towns nearby.

First of all, it’s good to know, that when it comes to public transport, Google Maps will not show up all the routes to get to us from the main airports.

By plane, the nearest airports are Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña. Both connected to main cities in Europe and Spain.

By bus, either from Santiago airport or A Coruña airport.

In this site you can find all the routes to either Laxe or nearby towns like Baio.

Just make sure you do not select direct buses only to get more options, as most connections are just stops of a few minutes.

By taxi,

You can contact Martina or Raquel through WhatsApp to be picked up or to go to the following places.

  • Santiago airport – iSlow  80€
  • A Coruña – iSlow 80 €
  • Carballo – iSlow 45 €

The better equipped you can get, the better. Basics include:

  • Waterproof jacket
  • Hiking boots.
  • Comfortable clothing
  • Water bottle

Some stages are easier than others. Difficulty ranges from Low to High based on the elevation and length of the stage.

We have designed our program, so the most difficult stages can be done in two days or in weekend days, so you can fit some working hours throughout. 

That being said, this hiking route is not just a walk. Similar to other routes in the region such as Camino de Santiago, some stages take 6-7 hours to complete on consecutive days, so a certain level of fitness is required.

Our program is self-guided, but guides can be booked if needed and agreed by the group.

This would be charged outside the program.

Yes, of course, if there are rooms available you are welcome to stay longer after the retreat, and you will enjoy a 30% discount for the rest of your stay.

Erez Peretz

Even after watching the amazing pictures on the website, you would still be surprised when you get there…the design that makes you feel calm, happy, laid back and focused, the vibe, the community, Julio and Ines, just elevate the experience. I have been there for a month and surely know that I will come back. Close to this place you would find beautiful beaches, charming forest and a town with the best seafood ever. All under pleasant weather.
