Creative writing and painting courses
Las Chimeneas is surrounded by stunningly beautiful places, from the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains to the elegant and vibrant cities of the south such as Granada. You can practice open-air painting in the many picturesque pueblos blancos (white villages) or in the countryside among the olive groves and almond orchards.
Explore, relax and be inspired by the sights of the Alpujarra region. Our art courses offer tuition and guidance, art materials and local knowledge about where to get the best views and enjoy the rich colours of the Spanish landscape.
