I had the opportunity to explore and photograph Seville and Malaga during my recent travels in June. These two locations are two places I have been looking forward to visiting. Seville has been on my list for a few years now, and Malaga, with its proximity to Seville, was an easy decision to include on this trip.

The south of Spain offers a compelling allure for photographers due to its diverse landscapes, unique architecture, and vibrant colours. When looking at destinations for this June trip, Spain, particularly Seville, was near the top of the list. In June, the south of Spain had a very good chance of having favourable weather for me. That entails plenty of sunshine and hot temperatures.

“You must be excited about your trip; it’s coming soon!” Next week, I’ll be on my way to Spain! And yes, I’m excited! I didn’t think that hit me until this past weekend. I partially believe this has crept up quietly because the weather has been unpleasant here. I thought it would be beautiful, sunny in June, and…well, summer. It isn’t. It isn’t at all! When I booked this trip in January, I felt it was so far away, and really, it was.
