Your Holiday in Andalucia
Andalucia is one of the most beautiful spots one could ever wish to travel to with its mixture of sun, blue flag beaches and delicious food. It is steeped in ancient culture and history and boasts of sparkling coasts all the way from Huelva to Almeria, traversing Costa de la Luz, Costa del Sol, Costa Tropical and Costa de Almeria.
The people of Andalucia are very friendly and there is always some "fiesta" taking place somewhere! Discover the charming little villages, with the traditional whitewashed houses and colourful orange groves. You can also relax with a cool drink in a shady taverna and gaze at the stunning scenery.
There is even a very unique and magnificent ski resort in the Sierra Nevada, with breath-taking slopes and where the most amazing hiking trails and summer activities occur off season!
From the Costa del Sol to the Costa de la Luz
If you're thinking of taking your holiday in the Costa del Sol, you will encounter a thriving nightlife, plenty of hotels and bars and popular beaches, not only in Malaga.
Visit Marbella and rub shoulders with the elite of Andalucia, where people sport luxury cars and superyachts at the well-known Puerto Banus marina. If you're an avid golfer, you will be thrilled to learn that the Costa del Sol commands some excellent golf courses, where professional tournaments have frequently been played.
The Costa de la Luz possesses its own special brand of magical charm. Visit the ancient Roman ruins in Barbate, beautifully outlined by the backdrop of the glittering Atlantic Ocean. Experience the gastronomic delights at Zahara de los Atunes, where fresh tuna tastes like heaven on earth!
The brilliant diversity of Andalucia ensures that a traveller to this part of Spain would never be bored. Don't miss the spectacular Horse Show event in Jerez de la Frontera. And if you're in Seville in April, you will surely be bowled over by the colourful and cheerful Feria de Abril, where you can dance away the traditional Sevillanas.
Travel into Ronda, a beautiful town nestled on the top of a very tall cliff. If you look down the chasm, called El Tajo, you will feel exhilarated at the the sheer height of the cliff, but you will also see the charming Guadalevin river in the valleys.
Visit the idyllic Granada, with sensational views across the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada and plenty of history on offer. There are a number of airports to choose from as well, which will cut down on transfer time. For instance, Seville and Jerez both have airports with a further one halfway between these cities. Málaga International airport and Gibraltar are also handy options.

Dive into the Andalusian Culture
When you visit Andalucia, one of the best places to visit for culture, without a doubt, is Cordoba. With its famous Mezquita cathedral highlighting the Moorish rule in Spain eight centuries ago, Cordoba is a true Andalusian cultural gem.
On a southern direction from Cordoba is the region of Granada. In the capital of Granada, you will find the beautiful palace of the Alhambra, displaying exquisite Moorish architecture and attractive grounds. Step into the princess's chambers where stars were carved into the roof so that the moon could shine through for her. No wonder it is one of the many world heritage sites located in Spain's south.
The Moorish influence is apparent all over Andalucía, but especially in Seville. Marvel at the Giralda bell tower, which lights up at night as if it's made of pure gold. If you're up for some action, head over to Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benalmadena in the Costa del Sol for dazzling lights, dancing and musical attractions in the cities.
In Andalucia there are many places where outdoor activities and nature can be enjoyed, both in the summer as well as in the winter. Doñana national park is a nature reserve harbouring protected species in an area covered by Huelva, Cadiz and Seville.
There are numerous opportunities for hiking too, like El Caminito del Rey, Sendero Rio de la Miel and Picos de Mijas, among others. They all feature lush vegetation, quaint paths and gorgeous scenery. From the Sierra de las Nieves to the Sierra Bermeja, Andalusia's hiking trails are striking and scenic.
Caves are also widely available to explore in Andalucía. In Nerja, Ardales and La Pileta are some natural caves that are open to the public, with charming names like Cueva del Gato and Cueva de Tesoro.
