About this trip

Discover one of Spain's most breathtaking coastlines through the art of watercolour.

Join us for seven unforgettable days on the spectacular Costa Brava, where turquoise coves, colourful fishing villages, pine-covered cliffs and medieval streets become your outdoor studio.

Based in the beautiful seaside village of Tamariu, this fully hosted retreat combines inspiring painting locations with exceptional food, comfortable accommodation and the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle that makes this region so special.

Each day you'll explore a new location, painting everything from hidden beaches and charming harbours to bustling markets and ancient villages. Simon's structured demonstrations and personal tuition will help you capture not only the scenery, but also the unique atmosphere and light that have inspired artists for generations.

Whether you're an experienced painter or relatively new to watercolour, you'll receive plenty of individual guidance in a small, friendly group where learning is relaxed, supportive and enjoyable.

But this week is about far more than painting.

It's about slowing down, sharing wonderful meals with like-minded people, discovering places most visitors never find, and returning home with a sketchbook full of memories as well as paintings you'll treasure.

With no more than 10 guests, every Paint Your Travels holiday offers a genuinely personal experience where friendships are formed, confidence grows and creativity flourishes.

Come and experience the Costa Brava through the eyes of an artist.
