Here in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Andalucia, we are lucky to be surrounded by an abundance of very talented people. For example, the fabulous Nina Croft, author of the sexy, sci-fi romance Blood Hunter series and many more titles besides. Poets, painters and sculptors all thrive artistically within these breathtaking mountain valleys.

Trixie Bloom, author of Facebook Blues and the driving force behind The Funky Kat is always happy to offer advice or discuss creative process. Before she turned comedic author, she was a Personal Trainer, the inspiration for her Exercise/diet spoof, Trixercise.
At The Funky Kat, we are also very lucky to be able to offer a chance for our visitors to spend time with the extremely talented horsewoman, Amanda Gibbs. Personally tutored by the legendary Monty Roberts, Amanda exudes the right energy to create an atmosphere of calm and confidence with the horses, and we have the chance to see first hand how this amazing technique works.
When you look at the history of this area, it becomes clear that many writers, poets and creative minds found refuge here in the past; Frederico Garcia Lorca, Gerald Brenan and Virginia Woolf all stayed here. Whether it was the clean mountain air, the fresh spring water packed with minerals or the stunning beauty of the landscape that drew them here, only you can judge for yourself.
