Region Andalusia, Spanish (mainland)

 

Andalusia’s fascinating diversity reflects the traditional textbook Spain how Central Europeans imagine it: fiery flamenco and bullfights, oriental architecture and endless bathing beaches. These are the best prerequisites for holidays that offer something new every day for those looking for it.

“Costa del Sol“ and “Costa de la Luz“ offer hundreds of kilometres of fine beaches, which invite holidaymakers to enjoy more than 320 days of sunshine per year. Different holiday resorts have prepared for tourists. The antique town Estepona, the big city Malaga or the jet set place Marbella are waiting for giving their guests a unique holiday experience with its bungalows, apartments, holiday homes and the Andalusian friendliness.

But particularly in Andalusia, visitors can fulfil their dream of their own Spanish finca on the sea. In Spain’s important surfing centre Tarifa, water sports aficionados will find many possibilities for adventure such as wreck diving or surfing. What is surprising, however, is that, in the Sierra Nevada and so close to Africa, there are not only excellent hiking routes but also Europe’s southernmost skiing region.

But those looking for the unique Andalusian soul have to explore the towns and cities in order to find tracks of the Moors. Cities like the capital Sevilla or the oldest town of the Iberian Peninsula, Cadiz, shine in the light of The Arabian Nights. One of Andalusia’s best-known buildings is the fortress Alhambra in the university town Granada or the mosque Mezquita in Córdoba.

Do yourself a favour and succumb to the charm of Andalusian nights, even if it is less than one thousand and one.
