new artist in the team

We’re very excited to introduce you to a new artist in our team , Kathleen Gray, and she will be with us in Spain 23 September to 3 October next year.

Kathleen is from the Pacific North West and, having spent her childhood in Spain, has very strong connections with the country and it is where she discovered her calling to be an artist. Her course will be called ‘The Soul’s Mythic Journey’ and the themes of her artwork are personal mythology and the collective unconscious. She uses transparent images, colour overlays and collage to create  her expressive art, creating an intimacy for the viewer. This will be for 11 nights, so please check out our website for more information and get in touch with Cindy at Travel Concepts –  Cindy@trvlconcepts,com

While we are in Cordoba with Kathleen’s group next September we will be visiting the Madinat al Zahra – ancient ruins of a fabulous city just outside Cordoba, from the 10^th century, which they say was more wondrous than the Alhambra. After 100 glorious years it was unfortunately sacked by the hard-line Berbers, but restoration is now well under way.

So, later on this week we are going to see the ruins again to check out the on-going excavations as it is two years since we were last there, and we already know that they have unearthed a whole lot more

Hopefully we will have more photos of the Madinat next week

Till then, hasta luego
