Beatriz’s Painting Holiday in Nerja was a trip of a lifetime. To see a beautiful country through the eyes of a native was a gift, a rare opportunity in travel.

Every side trip, transportation need, and reserved tickets were well planned and seamless. The hotel was so convenient, comfortable and reasonable. Meals provided were delicious and varied, including the largest pan of paella cooked over a fire at a beachside restaurant ever seen. Painting opportunities abounded, and Beatriz’s individual instruction is on point. The comraderie of the painting group was warm and friendly. Meeting, dancing, and dining with her wonderful family was a bonus! I enjoyed time on the gorgeous Mediterranean beach, a block from the hotel with them as well.

I started taking classes with Beatriz which I love so much! When she proposed the trip to Spain I considered it right away and I signed up myself and my 14 years old daughter.

In a day time I also convinced my friend that joined us on the best vacation ever! All was organized by Beatriz, we painted every day, visit fantastic places that we still remember like it was yesterday!

Her hospitality and her beautiful family made the trip perfect, Nerja is a place to see!

Let’s not forget how nice people over there are and the delicious food that we eat. I really recommend everybody to have this experience.

The Painting Holiday in Nerja was a wonderful experience. Beatriz is not only an excellent teacher but a gracious host, sharing her beautiful courtyard studio and her lovely home town on the Mediterranean with us.

The excursions to notable, beautiful places were very well organized, and sketching was required. That was just what 1 needed! 1 appreciate her sharing her considerable knowledge of drawing and painting in multiple media as well as her hospitality. 

The painting trip to Nerja with Beatriz was awesome. I learned so much and the countryside and beach were so gorgeous! My hotel was right in town and convenient to everything. Side trips were interesting and inspirational- thank you Beatriz! 

I had one of the most enjoyable weeks last June. Traveling to Spain for the painting holiday hosted by Beatriz Ramos Rivera was delightful. Not only is Beatriz a gifted artist and teacher, she is also an enthusiastic tour guide on day trips around southern Spain. I learned so much from Beatriz. She is patient and knowledgable. Also she is a lot of fun to be with. Nerja is as charming and picturesque as you would want a Spanish coastal village to be. I highly recommend Beatriz’ painting holiday. 

Beatriz’s Painting Holiday was a wonderful, enlightening, and inspiring trip. It was the perfect mix of painting and exploring, activities and down time. Beatriz took care of all the logistics which made the whole trip really stress free for all the painters and guests. I am a beginning painter, with very little experience. Beatriz provides knowledgeable instruction, lots of encouragement, and the perfect atmosphere to learn and enjoy making art. 

What a wonderful experience…painting in the garden of the beautiful 200 year old home of our artist/teacher, Beatriz in Nerja, Spain! It was an unforgettable experience! Our small group enjoyed a real “culture dip” in gorgeous surroundings with great friends! I’d love to go back!!
