Summary

Join Cecil on this exciting opportunity to paint in an absolutely delightful

place in the Western Algarve.

Holiday Details

The Algarve is well known for it's amazing light conditions and vibrant

colours from the vivid blue skies and turquoise waters to it's lush green

and colourful vegetation as well as the rustic tiled and coloured traditional

buildings.

The Western Algarve is more rural, rustic and peaceful than the hustle and

bustle of the Central Algarve with it's sleepy harbours, quiet mountain

villages and un-spoilt coastline.

The holiday will be based in Praia Da Luz where we are in easy reach of

the beautiful beach in Luz where you can paint the coastline, traditional

buildings, churches and a fort. The traditional fishing village of Burgau is

within a few minutes drive from the hotel and has some really quaint

subjects to paint including buildings, cobbled streets, boats and the

beautiful coastline. Ponte De Piedade is not far from the hotel where you

can see the amazing Algarve stacks.

We will also visit the coastal town of Lagos (15 mins away) where you can

paint anything from fishing harbours with multi-coloured fishing boats, old

forts, traditional Portuguese tiled buildings, churches and town squares.

There are plenty of traditional Portuguese villages nearby including the

historic town of Silves with it's traditional buildings, cobbled streets and

castle.
