INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY WEEK

The holiday is based in the pretty white village of Mijas, 7kms inland from the Costa del Sol. Although so close to the coastal resort of Fuengirola, Mijas retains its charm and its ‘spanishness’– visitors from far and wide visit to explore and enjoy its narrow streets of traditional whitewashed houses and pretty plazas – all remnants of its Moorish past.

Your accommodation is at the very comfortable 4* Hotel Mijas in the centre of the village. This traditional Andalucian style hotel is low rise and features charming patios, lounges, cocktail bar and an outdoor swimming pool. Buffet breakfast and dinner are taken in the delightful dining room. The rooms are either standard twins with balcony or for a supplement superior twins with a sea view. All rooms are en suite, with satellite TV and telephone. Its location is stunning with panoramic views across the countryside down to the Mediterranean.

If you are planning to travel alone then please don’t hesitate in joining this trip. You will be very welcome. We plan small groups with a maximum of 8 persons on each departure. This way our tutor gets to know the group who in turn get to know each other.

YOUR TUTORS

Our tutors have a love for photography and the all important desire and ability to teach and share their experiences with others.

Both Ray and Derek work with the group on different days during the photography week and we are confident that you will benefit greatly from their many professional skills while enjoying the many different faces of Andalucia.

They will arrange mid-week and end of week work reviews so you can appreciate what you have learnt and get advice on how to improve.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR HOLIDAY

Beginner or experienced? Don’t worry if you are a beginner with your brand new digital or film camera! All levels are welcome on this course, as group and individual attention will be given by our tutors who are on hand to teach and advise. If you are a bit more experienced with a more sophisticated camera we are quite confident that our tutors will still have a few new tricks up their sleeves!

What equipment should you bring? Firstly we recommend that you bring some sturdy footwear!! Apart from your camera we recommend that you bring a tripod. Once your holiday is confirmed we will forward you a list of recommended equipment.

Travelling alone? If you wish to avoid the single supplement and don’t mind sharing with a member of the same sex then we will be very happy to put you in touch with another group member of the same mind. If, however, this is not possible, then we will have to charge the single room supplement.

Non participating partners – travelling with a friend who is not taking part in the week’s tuition? In this case we can offer a reduction of 150€ off the cost of the holiday for that person. They will receive no tuition but are welcome to join the outings etc.
