With self-organised accommodation, there is something for everyone. There are many accommodation options in all price ranges and for all requirements.I will be happy to send you some options or further websites.
It would make sense to book in the Los Llanos, Tazacorte, Tinizara, Puntagorda and Las Tricias areas.There are many small holiday homes that participants could also share, write to me if you are interested.
Flights
Flights are booked independently. Important: book to La Palma SPC (not to Las Palmas, Mallorca). Possible airlines for direct flights: easyjet, Condor, Iberia. From Switzerland: Edelweiss. Bargain hunters are sometimes lucky with single flights with a stopover in Mallorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
Food
Breakfast is included for those staying at the hotel.There are restaurants for lunch and dinner in the places where we work and art, as well as supermarkets where we can eat together or individually as we wish.
Materials
All materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own drawing/painting equipment.
We also have drawing and painting sets available to borrow or buy, so you don't need to bring anything with you:
