This holiday name is a tribute to an old Billy Cristal’s movie: “City Slickers”
where three men decide to spend a week in contact with nature and
it lasts country life.
We offer you a “country week” to do what you’ve never done.
You will learn to ride a horse, drive a tractor, shear and milk a sheep,
reap the hay and many other things you would never have thought
of being able to do.
The campaign has its own rhythms so we have summarized
monthly all the experiences you can make based on your period
of staying.
