Courses: Andalucian Adventure - (residential course painting on location)

Course starts on Sunday at 6.00pm and ends on Saturday after breakfast

Andalucian rooftopsLast year we discovered this delightful little hotel in the centre of an unspoilt village just a few miles from Ronda. The tiny village of Cartajima is one of the 7 ‘pueblos blancos’ or white villages in the valley of the Alto Genal with its spectacular mountain scenery. This is the perfect location for our painting course. The views are stunning and the accommodation is all that you could want, spacious and tasteful with every thought given to your comfort (air conditioning, fluffy white bathrobes and towels, hairdryer and tea tray with cookies and fresh fruit). The rooftop terrace with its 360 degree views over the mountains and chestnut groves makes an excellent outdoor studio. There is a small plunge pool for cooling off. The food is excellent and freshly prepared so evenings are for relaxation after a good meal in the large open plan dining room before sitting on the rooftop terrace with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the mountains.

As well as excursions to the other villages in the valley, there will be a full day in Ronda, which is soaked in Moorish history and has one of the most dramatic vantage points from the bridge straddling the world famous gorge. Here is Spain’s oldest bullring and a string of historic buildings. Leafy squares, narrow alleys, shops and pavement cafes abound.

The course includes 6 nights full board accommodation with en-suite facilities, all transfers and transportation in Spain and painting tuition. You arrange your own flight from your local airport and we meet you at Malaga airport.
NB this is a course limited to just eight people sharing in twin-bedded rooms.
