 For
over 30 years Rolf Schubert has been heading his Germany based Concert
Buero, an artist’s agency that specializes in authentic American jazz
and blues.
For over 20 years Rolf Schubert has been organizing package tours to New
Orleans and Chicago for music lovers. These are tours off the beaten
track unlike any other regular package tour.
A few years ago Rolf Schubert made Andalucia his second home and has
been organizing tours here in a style similar to the USA trips.
This is not your usual package tour. There may be changes in the
programme and individual wishes of the participants may hopefully be
fulfilled. At times things will be arranged spontaneously. At times
things might also not go as smooth as planned. You must have a strong
sense of adventure, humour and must be willing to fit in with a group of
individuals of all nationalities, age groups and social backgrounds.
(Beware! Travel agencies put this sentence in when they talk about
crossing the Mongolian Gobi desert).
You will be hiking, not to show off what a great sportsman you are,
but to discover some beautiful landscapes.
You will need some good
hiking boots, but even an inexperienced person in reasonably good
condition can manage these hikes.
You will be experiencing the great Andalucian-Moorish-Arab culture, but
again, you will not be rushed from one site to the other with
overbearing, boring explanations by some tour guide.
You will eat in the simple village bars. Great food, that you will never
find in the tourist places of the Costa del Sol. However, if you hate
garlic and olive oil, you are on the wrong trip.
You will listen to Flamenco, not the tourist version, but to the real
stuff, the true "Cante Jondo".
You will have time to relax. Salobreña is a pleasant little town. It is
mainly Spanish families who spend their vacation here.
You still have the simple bars, where the peasants gather for a glass of
wine after a hard days work in the fields:
There are the typical Spanish restaurants, where the Spanish families
gather for their long lunches and dinners:
(Lunch not served before 2 pm and dinner not before 10 pm).
You will be staying at the Hostal
San Juan, a simple, but very good and friendly two star
Hostal:
Two years ago, the Hostal was completey renovated and redone in true
Andalucian style.
All rooms come with heating/air condition, TV and
private bathroom. Breakfast is typical simple Spanish:
some bread, butter, jam, honey, coffee or tea: No eggs, no cheese, no cold cuts.
The hotel is situated in a quiet side street in the centre of Salobreña.
The Old Town is situated on a hill, a few minutes away. To the beach it
is a 10 - 15 minute walk.
