Red Palace in a Sea of Vibrant Culture - the Astonishing Sights of the Alhambra and Granada

  • 12th - 17th May, 2025

Resting at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the grand city of Granada sits 700m above the sea and offers an expansive view of the sprawling plains to the west - friends and enemies alike have little chance of making a surprise visit. This enviable geographical position has made the land here understandably attractive to military powers since history began. Despite its advantages though, the city has passed through the hands of Bronze Age settlers as well as Roman, Moorish, Berber, Muslim, Arabic and Catholic empires, with each successive occupier firmly leaving a mark on the architecture, food and culture of the city.

Red Palace in a Sea of Vibrant Culture - the Astonishing Sights of the Alhambra and Granada

Granada & Alhambra Photography Tour - Red Palace in a Sea of Vibrant Culture
The crowning glory of the city surely is the world-famous Alhambra – a deep red complex of stunning palaces, fortifications and gardens that sits above the city and looks out over the surrounding countryside. The building of this UNESCO World Heritage Site was started in 1238 by the Emir Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar and offers some of the best preserved Islamic architecture and decoration on the planet.

During this tour, we’ll spend a whole day in the Alhambra photographing some of the most incredible architecture you’ll have ever seen. We’ll take our time as we pass through the grand palaces and grounds to ensure we get shots that really do it justice and to soak in the atmosphere. As well as shooting inside the complex, we’ll also enjoy spectacular sunset views of the famous walls from the popular Mirador de San Nicolas across the valley.

Granada isn’t just about the Alhambra though, as the city offers more photographic attractions than it is possible to count. We’ll visit the astonishing Spanish Renaissance Cathedral whose style stands apart from most of the ecclesiastical architecture of Europe, and we’ll feast on the abundance of photographic opportunities that present themselves in the narrow ancient streets of the city and the Alcaiceria Arabic market area. We’ll visit the inhabited caves of the Sacromonte district and enjoy an evening meal at a colourful and exciting flamenco show deep within the rock of the mountainside.

Granada is a city of astounding beauty, and its history is visible in the most profound way at every turn – in its buildings, its décor, its people and its wonderful food. You’re going to need a big memory card for this one.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography.

Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
