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.
