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 Porto De Mos just outside Lagos where we
are in easy reach of the coastal path where you can paint the coastline
including the Algarve stacks. The beautiful beach of Praia Da Luz is just
minutes away 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.
We will also visit the coastal town of Lagos (5-10 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.
