Everyone loves to remember their trips by taking beautiful pictures of them, as well as to talk about our trips by showing pictures of them. It is always nicer if our pictures are good pictures in which beauty and fun is represented. Let's learn some basic tips to take the best travelling pictures when coming to Paradores.

1. You should tell a story with your pictures. Try to take pictures of all those things that made your trip special and so when you look at them, you will remember it as it was. For example, a winter walk starting at Parador de Artíes.

1. Do not hesitate on taking pictures of everything but, of course, do not get mad about it. It is not a question of shooting and shooting but about thinking of what you want on the picture: take you time, analyse and be patient. Look at this shot of San Saturio, in front of Parador de Soria.

1. Be creative on your perspectives. Sometimes you need to take your time to take the pictures so as to emphasize something of the scene and so give a special touch to your picture. What do you think of this picture of Parador de La Granja's decoration?

1. If you are on vacation and going somewhere different from your hometown, you should catch what goes on there. Take pictures of the local people and of what is going on where you are, so that you get to catch the essence of where you go. It is what really shows where you are, as it happens on this picture at Parador de Málaga Golf.
   
   

1. When taking pictures of monuments and buildings, you should try to get the whole of it on the picture. If not, it won't be shown as it really is. Do not take a picture in which some parts of the building or monument gets cut. It is not aesthetic. Capture the perfect moment, like this amazing twilight in Ciudad Rodrigo.

• Panoramic pictures are always a good option to show landscapes and horizons. It shows a global view of what you are seeing. Here you have an example of a panoramic picture of Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide, where you can see the mount Teide and the building of the Parador.

1. Be careful with the light and flash. You may be respectful with the lights and colours of what you are photographing. You may need a flash in indoor spaces or when taking pictures at night. However, sometime using the flash may modify the natural appearance of what you are photographing. During daylight, it is better to let the natural light compose the scene. 

1. Details. Taking pictures of the details will transmit the pure essence of things. Sometimes those details are what make things be more special. 
   
   
2. Landscapes: try to enhance everything that appears on the picture. The green lanscapes of a mountain, the magnificence of the ocean and, in general, the environment in which what you are photographing is placed. 
   
   
3. Food. Taste delicious Paradores´ recipies thorough one shot, it seems you can eat it. Don´t you think so?

• Sunset and sunshine. These are usually evoking pictures. You should take advantage of natural light, as it is what makes the scene so beautiful. The reflections, shadows and the sun will be the main characters. This is a picture of a sunset taken at Parador de Nerja. Beautiful!
