TRAVEL AND HOTELS

GETTING THERE:

"Spring  is a great time to travel to Europe. No tourist crowds, and good weather. Airline prices traditionally go down, but new airline competition has brought down prices even more: check out Norwegian Air Shuttle, Airberlin, Wow Air and other international discount carriers (Norwegian has announced rates to Europe as low as $69!). These prices are making it easier than ever hopping between destinations across Spain and Europe -- same currency, short travel distances and unbeatable prices!"

Terms and Conditions:

Participants will book their own hotels. The workshop will be held at Belen's studio, in the central area of Malaga. The address is Calle Marin Garcia 5.

HOTELS SUGGESTIONS, MALAGA ENCAUSTIC WORKSHOP
These are the addresses for the different hotel options... I have added Las Vegas because it´s in front of the beach but a bit far, half hour walking distance... for me it would be fine but other people may not want to walk... the taxi drive would be 5 euros or so....
Some also rented apartments with airbnb or vrbo…
We will be painting in  Belén's new studio, in the historic district of Málaga (Calle Marín García 5), at the heart of the pedestrian zone.
