Photographic days

Organised by the City Council and the Mercè Rodoreda Library in Castell d’Aro, Platja d’Aro i S’Agaró, the Castell d’Aro, Platja d’Aro and S’Agaró Photographic Days have offered annually from 2014 to 2024 a set of workshops, conferences, activities and masterclasses by renowned national and international photographers, who invite you to learn, experimenting and reflecting on photography. Each year a common thread was established, a theme on which the different activities are developed.

New direction from 2025: 

For different reasons, it has been decided that from 2025 the focus of Fotoplatjadaro’s activities will be different and – at least for the moment – the conference will be discontinued. However,instead of concentrating several workshops in a single weekend – and many of you were left without a place due to overlapping activities – from now on different workshops, activities and short conferences will be offered throughout the year.

For more details, you can visit the “Workshops &” page. Thank you for your loyalty all these years, we hope to see you in the new format of activities ;-)!.

A Look at Photography

The voice and gaze of LAS photography professionals.

The Castell-Platja d’Aro and S’Agaró Photographic Days celebrate their twelfth edition. In a critical review – and despite past efforts – we have identified a chronic under-representation of women among our speakers. A lack of visibility that does not correspond to the large group of professionals, artists, thinkers, students, and other people interested in photography. For this reason, we have built this XI edition around photographers who think, reflect, create, star and are an indispensable and consubstantial part of photography.

Workshops
Activities 2024

The workshops and activities are free to participate, but places are limited and  prior registration is required. 

To register, you can add the workshop or activity (or several) to your cart and make the “purchase” at zero cost. 

It is important that you do not book a place in workshops that overlap in schedule, to leave the places free for other people. 

We reflect. We debate. We work. How do we see PHOTOGRAPHY?
