Join Donna in the Alpujarra mountains of Southern Spain
11th to 18th May 2024
Donna, a seasoned tutor with over 30 years of teaching experience and a history of organising art retreats in Spain, Morocco, and Snowdonia, is thrilled to announce her upcoming sketching and art holiday in the Alpujarra Mountains of Granada, Southern Spain in May 2024.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, Donna will be there to guide and support you throughout the week.
The program kicks off with a workshop on "how to break down a sketchbook’ followed by excursions to gather visual inspiration in the picturesque surroundings. Your sketchbook will serve as a visual diary of your experience as you explore various locations.
Additionally, should you wish to do so, you will also be encouraged to work on more polished pieces during the holiday.
Prices start from just 860 euros (around £740) which include full board accommodation and transfers in Spain. Flights are not included.
Where you’ll be staying:
The venue for this particular holiday is a collection of converted village houses situated within one of the ‘white villages’ in the beautiful mountains of Southern Spain.
Emma and David - your hosts for the week - have been welcoming guests here since 1998.
Nestled amidst the picturesque hills, the charming rooms offer breathtaking views stretching all the way to the sea. Guests can expect cozy accommodations adorned with antiques, books, and hidden corners to explore.
The on-site restaurant serves up delectable dishes crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients that never fail to impress.
What truly sets the venue apart though is the serene atmosphere that is provided, coupled with heartfelt hospitality that will really make you feel right at home.
It's this unique blend that earned the venue a spot in The Times' ‘Top 10 list of Europe's finest mountain retreats’ in 2018 and ‘Top 25 of the World’s tastiest food experiences’ in 2023.
