Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in Spain

You'll photograph the Islamic architecture at Granada's UNESCO-listed Alhambra and the flower-filled patios in Córdoba's whitewashed Jewish Quarter on guided walking tours. Get shots of Sevilla's tall Giralda bell tower, the big Plaza de España, and Barcelona's unusual Gaudí buildings across medieval streets.

Walk through Galician villages like Portomarin and Melide, where stone horreos dot the hillsides and medieval bridges cross quiet rivers. The Santiago de Compostela Cathedral features Romanesque and Baroque facades where pilgrims have gathered since the Middle Ages. You'll pass the famous 100-kilometer marker near Ferreiros and weathered Cruceiros stone crosses against eucalyptus groves along the ancient trail.

Frame the Islamic mosaics and arches inside Córdoba's UNESCO-listed Mosque-Cathedral, then catch sunset over the Alhambra from Granada's Albaicín neighborhood. You'll photograph the cliffs along Nerja's Costa Tropical and the unusual rock-carved houses built into Setenil de las Bodegas.

An optional trip takes you to Granada's UNESCO-listed Alhambra Palace where you'll photograph 13th-century pink stone courtyards and fountains. Ronda sits on a clifftop plateau split by the 600ft-deep El Tajo gorge, and you'll also get shots of Frigiliana's whitewashed houses and Mijas' oval bullring.
