The price is 180€ per room (VAT included), The whole experience lasts approximately two hours, including the trip from the house to the feeding place and back.
Other activities in the house
One of the charms of the Palacio Viejo is that you can be having breakfast while watching a blue tit fluttering on a hedge in the garden.
At night, the Palacio Viejo de las Corchuelas will offer you marvellous views from one of the best places in Spain for stargazing: Monfragüe.
We abide by the «from farm to fork» principle; nothing beats picking the tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, peppers that you are going to have for dinner.
