A mix of inspiring speakers and activities has been brought together to mark the 55th anniversary of the  formation of the RPS Travel Group.  At a time when journeying to ‘off the beaten track’ places was much less easy than it is now, one of the Group’s primary purposes was to enable travel to unusual destinations.  We do that much more independently now and perhaps put more emphasis on sharing the stories of our travels.

This weekend brings together a range of speakers and skills that will help each of us move forward on our photographic journey and have fun following our chosen paths. The speakers are Ash Bhardwaj, Peter Brisley, Nat Coalson, Sue O'Connell, Leigh Preston, Chris Roche and Dr. Lindsay Stringer.

Granada is like no other Spanish city. Situated in Andalusia, the southern-most province of Spain, with the stunning backdrop of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada, the city is dominated by the Alhambra, the palace of the last Moorish rulers of Spain prior to their eviction in 1792 by the Catholic rulers Ferdinand and Isabella. The taking of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492 heralded the Spanish expansion that ultimately led to the discovery of the New World. To understand the history of Granada is to understand the history of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Monday 16th June 2025 - 5 nights

This is a hybrid trip with some organised elements, lots of suggestions for photographic routes and ample opportunity to explore the two cities  - Belfast and Derry - by yourself.

The trip is limited to eight Travel Group Members and will be based in the centre of Belfast.

This RPS Travel Group Trip will include a pre and post trip zoom meeting.

The itinerary has been planned by Patricia Mackey ARPS, our Travel Log editor, who lives in Northern Ireland and was awarded her ARPS with photographs taken locally.
