Destination Travel Guide to Andalucia - Spain

Andalucia Information

On any visit to Andalucia in Southern Spain there are three essential places to visit: Granada, Cordoba and Seville.

Granada is home to the Alhambra Palace, one of Europe's truly amazing sights. From Granada you should travel to Cordoba across Jaen Province where you'll see millions of olive trees lining the route.

The key attraction of Cordoba is the Mezquita (Great Mosque) which along with the Alhambra represents one of the two most important examples of Moorish art in Spain.

Seville is the Andaluz capital and the most typically Spanish of all Spanish cities.  It is here that you'll experience flamenco, be able to see a bullfight, dine on tapas and wash them down with sherry.

These three cities are the minimum you should aim to see whilst visiting Andalucia.  The next most popular destinations inlude Jerez de la Frontera where you can watch the dancing horses of the Andaluz School of Equestrian Art.  And Ronda, one of the country's most spectacular villages lying high above the Costa del Sol in the rugged mountains of the Serranía de Ronda.

Need a break from travelling? Then head down to the coast and enjoy a few days on the famous Costa del Sol where you can rub shoulders with the rich and famous at the exclusive marina of Puerta Banus, have a flutter at Marbella's Casino, enjoy a round of golf on one of the many quality courses in the region or simply lie by the pool with cocktail.

Further west you'll head into Cadiz province where you'll find some of Spain's finest beaches on a surprisingly underdeveloped coastline with magnificent views across the Straits of Gibraltar to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Conil de la Frontera is our top recommendation for where to stay along this coast.

The Moors arrived in Spain from North Africa in the year 711 and thus began a period of history which would shape Iberia differently than the rest of Europe as the land adapted to a new religion, language and culture.  This Moorish land was known as Al-Andalus and included all of the Iberian Peninsula except for the extreme north-west from where the Christian Reconquest would originate.

Los Bandoleros (Romantic Villains of Andalucia)

Symbolising the poor man’s plight in old Andalucía, they became romantic figures, whose often tragic stories are entwined with legend.
