Painting Holidays in Andalusia, Spain
Andalusia offers painters inspiring seascapes, wild countryside, mountain views, and an idyllic climate for a perfect painting holiday.
Our Andalusian base is the beautiful Il Palacete villa, set deep in dramatic hilly countryside, yet only 30 minutes’ drive from the coast. It’s private and peaceful, with spacious gardens, a pool and tennis court. This picturesque mini palace, full of charming historic details, dates back to the 1400s.
