From Sunrise Yoga to Sunset Trails: A Weekend in Seville

There are places that energise you . . . and places that restore you. Southern Spain does both. Just north of Seville, beyond the flamenco streets and orange-tree-lined plazas, lies a quieter, wilder Andalucía; a landscape of rolling hills, cork oak forests, river valleys, and whitewashed mountain villages. It’s here that trail running in Spain becomes something truly special.
And it’s also where movement meets stillness. Where sunrise yoga flows into mountain trail runs. Where your days are active, your meals are nourishing, and your mind finally slows down.
Welcome to a different kind of running retreat in Europe.

Why Seville is the Perfect Place for a Running & Yoga Retreat
Seville is famous for its culture, food, and sunshine but step just outside the city and you’ll discover one of Spain’s best-kept outdoor secrets: Sierra de Aracena and Sierra Norte Natural Park.
This region is ideal for multi-day running in Spain and deeply restorative yoga retreats because it offers:
Runnable mountain trails through cork oak groves and chestnut forests
Quiet river valleys and panoramic hilltop views
Cool forest shade and open ridgelines
Traditional villages perfect for relaxed café stops
It’s a landscape made for exploring Spain on foot; gentle enough to enjoy, varied enough to feel adventurous.
And after a morning on the trails? That’s where yoga comes in.
Why Yoga & Trail Running Are the Perfect Pair
Trail running challenges your body. Yoga restores it. Together, they create balance.
On our running and yoga retreat, you’ll feel the difference quickly:
Trail running builds strength and endurance
Yoga improves mobility, flexibility, and recovery
Both calm the mind and reconnect you with nature
Instead of finishing a hard training weekend feeling exhausted, you leave feeling strong, open, and reset. That’s the magic of combining running holidays with yoga retreats, performance meets restoration.
Our Seville Running & Yoga Weekend
This is not just another running weekend in Europe. This is our only retreat that blends guided trail running and daily yoga in one unforgettable setting.
You’ll stay on a stunning 75-acre farm nestled in the heart of Sierra de Aracena National Park, just north of Seville. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient forests, it’s the kind of place where you breathe deeper the moment you arrive.
What makes this retreat special?
✨ Guided Trail Running in Andalucía Explore scenic routes through cork oak groves, river valleys, and mountain trails. All runs are guided, social, and suitable for all abilities, making this perfect for both experienced runners and those new to trail running holidays.
🧘♀️ Daily Yoga in an Open-Air Shala Start your mornings with sunrise yoga overlooking the hills and wind down with gentle evening sessions. Designed to support runners, these classes focus on mobility, strength, and relaxation.
🍅 Farm-to-Table Food by a Private Chef Expect vibrant, seasonal Andalusian dishes made with fresh, organic ingredients. This is food that fuels your running adventures in Spain and leaves you feeling nourished, not heavy.
🏊 Pool, Sun, and Space to Relax Between runs and yoga sessions, unwind by the pool, nap in a hammock, or simply soak in the quiet countryside. This is a running retreat, not a race.
🤝 A Team That Truly Looks After You The Run Weekends team, alongside the owners of this beautiful farm, create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Whether you come solo on a running holiday for singles or with friends, you’ll feel part of the group.
What a Day on the Retreat Feels Like
Sunrise: Gentle yoga as the sun rises over the hills
Morning: Guided trail running in Spain through forests and valleys
Midday: Lunch, pool time, and deep relaxation
Afternoon: Free time or an optional short shakeout run
Evening: Restorative yoga, sunset views, and long, laughter-filled dinners
It’s the kind of rhythm that reminds you why you fell in love with movement in the first place.
More Than a Holiday - A Reset
This isn’t just one of our running trips. It’s a chance to step away from busy schedules and reconnect with your body and mind.
You’ll leave with:
✔ Stronger legs from trail running in Andalucía
✔ Looser hips and happier muscles from daily yoga
✔ New friends from shared running adventures
✔ A calmer mind from time spent in nature
It’s a running holiday in Spain designed to restore body, mind, and spirit in one of southern Europe’s most beautiful and undiscovered landscapes.
