The Photography and Golf Combo
This holiday gives you a tremendous combination of two of the most popular recreational activities, photography and golf. You have three days of exciting photography tuition in the stunning Andalucian scenery together with two days golfing on two prestigious golf courses, Santa Clara Golf and Baviera Golf.
Alex is an 8 handicap golfer who has played both courses many times. He is confident golfers will enjoy the challenge and beauty of these fabulous courses.
Typical 5 day schedule for the Golf and Photography Combo
- The course begins with a group meal and discussion of the 5 day schedule.
- We will then embark upon 2 day´s photography in and around Alhama, specifically Los Tajos (The Gorge), Lake Alhama, the National Park and Sierra Tejadas mountain range.
- During the week we will visit Alhambra Palace and Gardens in Granada, where Alex will help you photograph this beautiful and world famous example of Moorish architecture. This part of the course will include the views of Sacromente and Granada's Arab Quarter.
- Later in the week we will enjoy 2 day´s golf at two beautiful courses, one coastal and one inland. Both are challenging and visually impressive offering a challenge to golfers of all levels.
The 3 day course includes lots of one-to-one tuition with plenty of individual and group critiques. The course also features daily downloading and processing of photographs using Photoshop.

Additional Information
The minimum camera requirement for our holidays is a DSLR camera with full manual control options. Alex will help you improve your photography skills with whatever camera you bring, but please bring the cameras handbook for reference. It is advisable to bring spare batteries for your camera and a tripod would be useful if you have one.
Bring your laptop if you have one, including any necessary leads and conversion sockets for Spain (these can be bought at airports and electrical retailers). A Nikon D200 digital SLR (with 18-200mm lens) and tripod are available for hire.
Each day we break for a few hours in the afternoon and work into the evening to catch the best light of the day and also avoid the heat. This gives time to have a relaxing meal, a rest or a swim. Or perhaps you fancy a spa session in the local Arabic baths and steam rooms where relaxing therapeutic massages are available. For your evening meal, we can recommend some of our friends' bars and restaurants where you will receive a warm Andalucian welcome.
Andalucian Photography Holidays offer expert photography tuition and a chance to discover real Spain. This is not a commercialised tourist area and so, like our holidays, is popular with more independent-minded people.
We look forward to meeting you.
