All about Andalucia

Andalucia is a large region in the South of Spain, which has been immortalised time and time again in the literature of the Moors, the plays of Spains most famous playwright; Federico Garcia Lorca and from the ubiquitous flamenco music, which is in itself a symbol of rebellion and passion.

The most popular cities to visit nearby are Seville, Crdoba and Granada. You can easily get yourself from Malaga to Granada on a scenic coach that will take you through olive groves beside the banks of the picturesque Guadalquivir River. When you arrive in this unique city, the first thing thatll strike you is that as you walk around the warm, sub-tropical, sunshine-filled Jardines del Triunfo, or Lorcas own sweet-smelling flower garden, youll have a great view of the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada mountain range towering overhead.

The biggest attraction of the city is also a famous tourist highlight in Spain. It receives thousands of visitors every year and it is the Alhambra Palace. A jewel of white walls and water features, from the top of the hill on which it sits, you can look out over the painted caves of Granadas gypsy quarters; Barrio Sacramento, which lies nestled among the cacti and aloe vera plants.

If you look directly down from the palace youll be looking onto Plaza Nueva, with its pavement cafs set around a beautiful old fountain. This is a great place to sample the local tapas and aromatic teas of the various Arabic tea shops.

Seville boasts a Moorish palace of its own; the Alczar, which can be reached by walking along the ornate streets; lined with orange trees. Cordobas Mezquita is another eye-opener. This religious monument which combines the architecture of a Mosque and a Cathedral is symbolic of the two dominating religions of the country existing peacefully side by side.

Theres plenty to explore in closer proximity to the resort too. Malaga is a vibrant city with a large shopping area and a friendly beach. Youll find plenty of English-speaking bars and restaurants.
