PHOTO TOUR ASTURIAS
Asturias is located on the northern coast of Spain, between Galicia and Cantabria. The coast of northern Spain is relatively unknown to many people but an unparalleled paradise for the lover of long shutter speeds and intimate landscapes. In this region you can really taste the atmosphere of authentic Spain. The weather is continuously different so no day is the same. The tide also influences the appearance of the surroundings. As the tide recedes, rock formations suddenly appear, creating new photo opportunities.
As you walk along the beach, we advise you to take a walk to the cliffs behind you. Take a good look at them and discover what colors and structures can be seen. With a bit of luck, you might also run into a sea anemone or snail that you can photograph as a foreground or macro subject. The Spanish coast has endless possibilities.
WHAT DOES SUCH A WEEK IN ASTURIAS LOOK LIKE
As you would expect, the main focus will be landscape photography! We go out every day with sunrise, sunset and of course we are also outside when there is a beautiful photogenic sky in the afternoon. In between all these moments there will be time to catch your rest or to share knowledge with each other. Lunch and dinner will alternate between a picnic in nature or a meal in a restaurant. This depends entirely on the schedule and weather on the day.
The Asturias trip is open to any passionate photographer but only if you are ready for a spell because Asturias is a rugged photographer's paradise. We do not have a day to day schedule because we like to be guided by the most beautiful light. However, we do have a list of locations we will visit. Think of places like Playa del Silentio, Playa del Gueirua, Playa de Mexota, Playa de Campiechos, Playa de Portizuelo and we have views of Picos de Europa. The light is constantly changing so an unexpected stop is sure to be among them because we don't want to miss the best moment. Of course we will all bring a dose of sociability and it will be an unforgettable, inspiring and above all enchanting complete trip where there is all the room for learning and discovery.
