Turn Travel into Story
Travel Stories in Granada is a five-day, beginner-friendly intensive for curious travelers and writers who want to transform experience into meaningful narrative. Through expert instruction and immersive encounters with place, participants learn to notice the moments that matter and explore how voice, structure, and reflection shape compelling stories.
Over the course of the workshop, participants generate new material, develop a focused draft, and revise it with thoughtful guidance and feedback. Each writer leaves with a polished short piece prepared for sharing at the final-night story salon, and a repeatable creative process for carrying future journeys onto the page.
