In the Salamanca province of Castilla and Leon is a beautiful hotel and spa, Hacienda Zorita. And, at first glance you will think, the beauty and tranquility you experience here is all there is to this jewel of a place to stay.  But wait!  There is also an organic farm, winery, cheese processing facility, raw milk farm, producer of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and lovely staff. 

I had an opportunity to visit and talk with guest experience manager, Javier and I was astonished so much could be done with one company.  Their moto:  To Live – To Love and you will experience just that with all of your senses.  

Take a look at my photographs. You’ll want to go. I promise.
