“This was a return visit for me……Albella is a beautiful location, the scenery was stunning, extremely welcoming hosts, and expert photography guidance. Just brilliant!”

“We recently spent a photographic week at Casa Allué and cannot rate our experience highly enough.
Our photographic tutor for the week, Iñaki Relanzòn, knows this area of the Spanish Pyrenees intimately and along with Simon he got us to all the best places for photographing the beautiful autumn colours.

On a practical level we benefited hugely from Iñaki’s instruction. Always kind encouraging and patient he took our photographic skills to a whole new level.

We would recommend this trip unreservedly.”

“I have been on several Photographic Workshops in the past, but this for me topped them all!

Casa Allué is surrounded by mountains, abounding with wildlife, not uncommon to see deer feeding in the meadows on a morning, foxes playing in the fields, red squirrels ‘raiding’ the walnut trees, the grunting of wild boar as they root around for things to eat, the call of wood peckers and other bird life. The location is as close to nature as one can get!
I was there in autumn, and one of the highlights for me was visiting the Odessa National Park and being blown away by the spectacular kaleidoscope of colour. Mile after mile of spectacular scenery. During our walks in the park we were able to see Griffon vultures, Lammergeier vultures, Chamois deer grazing, and just surrounded by stunning scenery!

The group was accompanied by a professional photographer who with his wealth of photographic knowledge, kept the group ‘right’ on camera settings, best angle of view, catching the light and other helpful hints.
Our hosts, Simon & Lucy, really went out of their way to make sure that all the guests were comfortable, and very ably cared for. Their two charming young daughters, Penny & Sofi were just brilliant, treating us on one occasion to an impromptu after dinner ‘musical’ recital.

For me, this particular holiday stood out from the many I have been on.
Many thanks to Lucy, Simon, Iñaki and last but not least Penny & Sofi.

“This was our first visit to the Pyrenees and we had an amazing week of Autumn colours, wildlife encounters and extraordinary scenery, shared with us by Simon and Iñaki with such warmth and enthusiasm.
The attention to detail, kindness and sheer hard work involved were impressive.
Simon, Lucy and Iñaki were very concerned to give the group the best possible experience adapting the programme and the coaching to suit the individual needs and wants on a daily basis.

We are two very different photographers in terms of equipment and interests but both gained a lot from the workshop and always found plenty to photograph. By day 4 I was thinking ‘ well it can’t be better than yesterday’…but it was! Each day surpassed the last culminating in an unforgettable ‘display’ by a pair of Lammergeiers as we finished our lunch at a mountain restaurant.
Before the holiday I had been a bit anxious as to the amount of walking involved at altitude as we are not hardened mountain walkers. However, we managed easily and I would even have preferred to walk a bit more. There are quite long drives to most of the locations but always plenty to see on the way and usually a coffee break squeezed in!
What I found almost unique about this holiday was the all round knowledge of Simon, Lucy and Iñaki. Whatever the question that came up, whether it might be the state of Madagascar’s rainforests, the identification of birdsong or the legacy of the Spanish Civil War, they showed an interest in everything. We live in Cumbria which is a very special and beautiful part of the world. It is hard to beat…but in the Pyrenees it has some competition!
