Creative Writing holiday in Andalucia
Posted by Rosemary on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 · 3 Comments
You are still on time to join Women on Tour on a very special break in the sun. We’ll be spending a few days relaxing, learning useful writing tips and enjoying the sunny Andalucian countryside.
The setting – Accommodation
Set high in the Granada countryside, next to Jaen province and amidst magnificent views we’ll have the use of a cortijo ( typical Andalucian farmhouse). Surrounded by a Mediterranean landscape, bathed by the aroma of wild herbs like rosemary and thyme and away from noise and busy life, we’ll enjoy an inspiring vista of olive trees and ancient oaks. We’ll enjoy the best of Spain, it’s blue skies and sunny days. Because we’ll be staying at a high-altitude setting we’ll be spared from the scorching heat that makes Andalucia a no-go area during this time of the year. Still, if you need cooling, you can enjoy a cold drink by the swimming-pool.
The cortijos have been lovingly looked after and although they provide modern comforts, they have retained their rustic ambience.
The workshop
Breathing Life into your writing – poetry and fiction. Whether you are working on fiction or poetry, this course will help your writing to come to life. Using stimulating exercises to look at starting points, characters, narrative, imagery and structure, the course will free your imagination, bring precision and vividness to your language and help you find the right structure for your style. From beginners to more experienced writers, the mixture of workshops and one to one tutorials will breathe life into your writing. Join us for creative fun in a beautiful and supportive environment.

To the people that want to travel to Spain and especially Andalucía I give you a good tip. There is a great hostel where you can crash! In the White Nest Hostel in Granada, recently opened, you can find a young international group of like minded people, in fresh vibrant surroundings. You will have a great time to remember your entire life…..Based at the foot of the Alambra, the area is both central and historical. I recommend you to stay in Hostels Granada and experience the life of Albayzin, Sacromonte and the heart of Granada itself. Big
