Writers' groups

We can offer different kinds of holidays:

Writers' groups
These are unstructured holidays where we provide accommodation, space, conviviality and a substantial amount of food and drink to enable your writing group to meet. Forget the cramped back room of the local pub or the musty meeting room of the local church, we can enable you to meet up in the most beautiful of surroundings and so let your writings develop. Structured activities, tutored workshops and trips to the Alhambra can also be arranged.

Creative Holidays in Alhama de Granada

Alhama Creative Holidays offer the opportunity for you to develop your creativity in the unspoiled Andalusian town of Alhama de Granada. Half an hour from the beautiful historic city of Granada with its magnificant Moorish Alhambra Palace. Alhama is a typically Spanish town with whitewashed houses, winding cobbled streets and lively tapas bars. We offer a range of creative holidays including Writing for Children, Crime fiction and Writing for Film and TV. Accommodation is in authentic town houses and the courses are held in our Morroccan courtyard in our own house in the ancient Moorish quarter.

This is the first day of my new blog. Only last week I thought blogging was for 20 somethings with nothing better to do than to share the trivia of their lives. A chance encounter with a sumptuous blogsite- My Marrakesh- showed me that a blog (oh horrible word- suggestions please for something more lyrical) can open up a window in someone's world. If that world is as beautiful as Maryam's Marrakesh, then it's a place you would want to visit both virtually and one day in reality. Well, my house isn't in Morocco-although I love the style of that beautiful country- it's in what I think is the most beautiful and friendly pueblo in Andalucia- Alhama de Granada. It's about a 40 minute drive south from Granada and an hour north from Malaga. The photograph is of a ruined flour mill in the gorge that runs by the town- it's not our house!This blog is going to be the story of our alchemical transformation- of our house and of ourselves. I hope you enjoy your visits to our changing house and maybe share your experiences too.
