Spain
The 2012 VBMA ecotour will
take us to sunny Spain!
This tour will combine a bit of culture with a
lot of hiking, relaxation, eating and some
herbal education.
The dates are April 19 –
May 1, 2012.
We will start our tour in Barcelona to sample
the art, architecture, and tapas. We then move
on to the mountains, where we will have 6 days
of seminars, hiking, and culture with a team
consisting of a traditional Spanish curandero
and an herbalist who earned a BSc in herbal
medicine at Middlesex University. Next, we leave
for Cabo de Gata National Park, a quiet spot in
the hills with easy access to the beach for 2
days of leisure.
Testimonials
for the Bootlace teaching tour:
Chris Dowrick MD, Professor of Primary Care,
University of Liverpool:“…it is an excellent
week. The herbalism teaching is high quality,
and genuinely rooted (literally!) in the flora
all around you. The walks are wonderful. And
then there is the food - vegetarian cooking at
its very best, and lots of it. All done in the
lightest of spirits, and with the finest bunch
of people you can hope to meet. Enjoy!”
