Continuing with last week’s theme of getting away to write, here are more resources for those of you inclined to combine a little vacation with writing time. This week we’ll focus on Spain and Portugal, with beautiful cities, countryside, mountains and beaches, which can inspire us to write:

7 Day Wonder offers a number of week-long get-aways in Spain and France for vacationers to practice a number of the arts including writing, comedy (writing and performing), book groups, as well as singing and songwriting. The company has been operating for six years and operates out of Devon, England. (7 Day Wonder)

All Ways Spain offers travel writing holidays – what better way than to put what you are writing into practice as you learn? The six-day workshops take place in Alpujarra, Granada province. (All Ways Spain)

Write By The Sea offers writing holidays in Portugal on the island of Armona. Workshops are offered dealing with ‘Starting and Keeping Going’, ‘Poetry and Prose’, and ‘The Novel’. (Write By The Sea)

Lisa Elvidge also offers classes in Portugal in Algarve. Workshops and classes are offered in Lagos and Monchique. (Lisa Elvidge)

Before making your reservations with these or any travel service provider inquire about what the package includes. Some provide accommodations, food, activities, workshops/classes and may include transportation to the country. Other do not provide everything, so it’s a good idea to check before you book.
