Guhyaloka — 'Secret Realm' — is set in an isolated limestone valley in the mountains behind Alicante. Sangharakshita called it 'one of the most beautiful and inspiring places I have ever seen' and returned repeatedly for men's pre-ordination retreats and extended periods of writing. He had a personal cottage with a veranda looking up at sunlit cliffs, and a small shrine-room in a converted generator shed.
