Courses with A Flavour of Spain

From May 2005 until their retirement in 2018, Mike and Lari Powell of A Flavour of Spain ran a range of courses and workshops at El Molino del Conde including cookery, watercolour painting, painting with acrylics or oils, creative writing, yoga and pilates.

You can see here a number of the successful courses hosted over the years, during which time all our team at El Molino del Conde have developed a great deal of experience in how to ensure these events run smoothly.

"Hilary and Mike are incredible hosts in an incredible facility! Nothing was left to chance; everything was well planned. If you enjoy a pace away from the city, with First Class food, and every amenity, El Molino del Conde is the place!"

Linda Muttit

Linda says "The culture and beauty of Spain is sure to inspire! My focus for painting at El Molino del Conde and the surrounding area is to have an exhilarating time taking our personal response to what we see and feel, and finding ways to express these experiences using watercolour, pen & ink, and some integrated writing. Participants will be shown specific skills to help them translate these experiences to paper. Emphasis will be on having fun and feeling free within the medium."

Gail Short

Gail says “I love to capture the magic of this corner of the world on small pieces that become treasured souvenirs. When back in your own studio, you can create larger paintings and have fun extending your whole Spanish experience."

"The comfortable accommodation in a centuries old building and the gourmet Spanish food are wonderful. You live in a calm oasis where the painting opportunities are endless."
