The best of Andalusia
Andalusia is magic, where light has a special tone and life is celebrated at every moment. With eight provinces as diverse as they are complementary, this paradise that is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea has it all: more than 800 kilometers of coastline with some of the best beaches in Europe, monumental cities with centuries of history, white villages that seem taken out of a fairy tale, and natural landscapes ranging from the only desert in Europe in Almería to the Doñana National Park, including Sierra Nevada, where you can ski while contemplating the sea. Andalusia is that land where the footprint of Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Christians has created a cultural heritage unique in the world…
The best of Andalusia is its ability to constantly surprise you: from the majesty of the Alhambra in Granada or the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba to the enchantment of the Giralda in Seville, including the Tajo de Ronda or the wild beauty of Cabo de Gata. Here you can immerse yourself in history by walking through UNESCO World Heritage cities like Úbeda and Baeza, vibrate with authentic flamenco in a peña in Jerez, contemplate the sunset from a viewpoint in Cádiz, or get lost in the trails of Cazorla Natural Park. The more than 300 days of sunshine per year will allow you to enjoy unforgettable experiences in any season, from the Carnival of Cádiz to the April Fair in Seville or Holy Week, authentic expressions of Andalusian passion.
Andalusian gastronomy is another of its great treasures, a feast for the senses where olive oil (Jaén produces more than all of Italy) is the undisputed king. Each province has its specialties, from the Iberian ham of Huelva to the espetos of Málaga, including salmorejo from Córdoba or the free tapas of Granada. The wines of Jerez, Montilla-Moriles, or Axarquía are the best accompaniment for a cuisine that fuses sea and mountain with influences from all the cultures that have passed through this land. But what truly makes this destination unique is the character of its people, hospitable and cheerful, masters in the art of enjoying life. Because Andalusia is not only visited, it is felt, intensely lived, and kept forever in the heart.
