About Andalucia >Andalucia may have returned to Christian rule in the late 15th century, but the legacy of the Moors, who held power for nearly eight centuries, is still very much in evidence in its customs, gastronomy, architecture and language. The fact that Andalucia is such a melting pot of cultures is what makes it so captivating. There are two very striking features of this part of Andalucia: the pueblos blancos – towns and villages of whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs, whose inhabitants still see themselves as culturally apart from the people of the lowlands; and the rich flora and fauna of the Alcornocales Natural Park, which owes its name to the expanses of cork oaks, and the Grazalema Natural Park. The latter’s craggy limestone mountains belie the fact that it shelters over 1,000 species of flowers – best seen in April or May – and 136 species of bird, among them hoopoes, bee-eaters, Bonelli’s, golden and booted eagles, and one of Europe’s biggest colonies of griffon vultures.

This is a landscape of rugged mountains, an amazing azure lake, wide open plains and lush flower-filled meadows, amongst which nestle the region’s famous white towns, where winding lanes lead to enticing squares, with flashes of colour from well-kept window boxes and neat courtyards. We know this area well and it is ideal for a photography walking holiday – the magnificent landscapes, swathed in spring flowers and bathed in the golden rays of the Spanish sun, make perfect subjects.

Endless flower-filled meadows and high jagged mountains bathed in a magical light make this a photographer's paradise.

If you are an aspiring landscape photographer or simply wish to return from your holidays with a portfolio of competent, well-crafted photographs to remind you of your time away, this acclaimed holiday may help you achieve that aim. Staying at a comfortable hotel on the edge of the Grazalema Sierra, you join our staff photographer, Linda Lashford, and a small group of like-minded people in a very varied holiday that takes you into the heart of iconic Spain. Accompanied by local walking guide David Lanfear, you will visit a new location each day to practise your skills, from archetypal white towns and pretty meadows to the bustling streets of Cádiz. Life is relaxed and unhurried here, and you have ample time to soak up the atmosphere, wander at will and photograph the landscape, flowers or whatever aspects of Spanish life excite your creativity.
