Join Cecil on this exciting opportunity to
paint in an absolutely delightful place in
the Western Algarve.
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.
