Come and learn artisan baking at Lara's Loaf micro-bakery nestled in the peaceful and scenic Lecrin Valley
Our location is ideal for bakers who want to combine baking with visits to some of Spain’s nearby top tourist attractions. Lara's Loaf has been hosting bakers for over five years.
In 2020 we were listed by The Times and Sunday Times as one of the Best 50 Holidays in Spain
We teach you how to produce top quality baked products in your own kitchen, using only basic equipment
Our top-quality sourdough bread requires very little effort
No stand mixers!
No heavy kneading or slapping of dough!
Our sourdough bread consists of 100% natural ingredients of the highest quality
No unnessary extra ingredients or baker's yeast. Just organic untreated flour, water and a little salt
It does need plenty of skill though, and arguably quite a lot of love too!
There are no shortcuts to this kind of quality
See these croissants? A very high level of skill is needed for these!
We simplify artisan baking for you, drastically shortening the steep learning curve
We believe this is best achieved by lots of practical one-on-one coaching in very small groups

We believe there is only one way to acquire these skills
By rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands sticky, but with lots of expert guidance!
