I spent a wonderful week in Arjonilla. I did the experience alone and was given a wonderful welcome by Inma and Miguel. They made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The food was adapted to my vegetarian diet and so Good! The tours through the region combined with the hours in the ceramics studio were a real treat for me. I would recommend the visit to anyone who wants to be creative, get to know Spanish culture, eat well and have pleasant conversations or even play a round of cards with the wonderful hosts.

I had three wishes for my creative holiday in Andalusia: to have fun with pottery, to discover the local culture, and to enjoy healthy meals. Inma and Miguel Ángel fulfilled all of them with their loving and professional way of being and doing. Learning and enjoyment went hand in hand. The living space, garden, and studio are all places where you instantly feel at ease, and the olive groves radiate peace and openness. It was wonderful — highly recommended!

Getting away from my routine was a fantastic experience: Miguel Ángel is a very competent and patient teacher and Inma is charming and gives great recommendations. The house is very comfortable and the activities they offer are varied and quite interesting for getting to know the area and its history. I would recommend the experience, no question.

I had a wonderful time with Inma and Miguel Ángel. It was a perfect blend of creativity, culture, and authentic Spanish cuisine. I was lovingly taken care of, yet also had complete peace and quiet. Pottery in their beautiful studio, overlooking the garden and olive trees, brought me endless joy. Altogether, it’s an amazing experience, filled with the hosts’ mindfulness and love — like “all-inclusive,” only better!

A wonderful weekend “Modelling among olive trees”: The hospitality from the hosts was simply outstanding, and the experience and learning in the ceramics workshop were enriching on every level. The facilities were fantastic, and the gastronomy was a delightful surprise! Inma is not only an amazing cook but also a brilliant pastry chef. If you’re looking to reconnect through the magic of clay, be pampered, and discover a province rich in culture and castles, I highly recommend Modelando entre Olive Trees!

A wonderful experience, different from anything else. Inma and Miguel Ángel make you feel at home from day one. I really enjoyed working with ceramics, especially with the pottery wheel. I had never used one before but Miguel Ángel explains it very well and enables you to connect immediately with this ancient and very relaxing art, in addition to being in a beautiful natural environment. I’m sure I will come again.

We had a great time with Inma and Miguel! During the pottery sessions, we learned a lot while still having the freedom to fully express ourselves. Every day, the food was freshly prepared — and absolutely delicious. We felt completely at home and can highly recommend the pottery course, the accommodation, and the place itself. 🙂

We had a wonderful time with Inma and Miguel. Every day we learned so much while doing pottery with Miguel. He was always cheerful and incredibly patient with us, showing us how to create truly good ceramics. Miguel is an artist who masters his craft beautifully. With him, we could follow our own style while still getting advice and help whenever we needed it. Inma is a delightful host. She spoiled us with her Mediterranean cooking and showed us her homeland. The food didn’t just look fantastic — it was always healthy, top quality, and absolutely delicious. The little walks and excursions we did with Inma are among the highlights of our lives. We felt completely at home.

We shared the experience of a weekend with Inma and Miguel Ángel, learning to make pottery among olive trees and getting to know a little bit more about the culture of the villages of Jaén, more specifically Arjonilla. Unquestionably a very satisfying experience and 100% recommendable, they make a great team!

What a great experience! Miguel Ángel is an artist, and more importantly he is able to transmit the love he puts into his work. He is patient and ready to share his knowledge. I had a great time in the workshop, from getting the feel of the clay to decorating the pieces, a real pleasure. The setting is also spectacular, and the place invites you to enjoy nature and the craft with all five senses. I will be back, without a doubt!
