2.Drawing and Painting Class of Alhambra in Granada

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $79Top rated

Join Kate and Mark in central Granada for a three-hour Alhambra art workshop. Using pencil, compass, watercolor, or gouache, you will study Moorish patterns, create your own design, and take home a personal souvenir. No art experience is needed, and the group is limited to seven.

“This was incredible! Kate and Mark are awesome and have so many interesting stories about their travels. They’re so helpful at explaining the process. I wasn’t sure what my piece would end up looking like because I haven’t painted since elementary school and I don’t have the steadiest hand, but it turned out really well thanks to their help. It was a blast to get to learn more about the designs I’d been seeing around the city and to bring a souvenir home that I made. I definitely recommend taking a few hours out of your day in Granada for this experience!”
