About Andalucia, Spain

• Beaches and resorts - The region's finest beaches stretch along Spain's Atlantic coast. Most are unspoilt, deserted and some for nudists only!
• Tapas and Bars - In Spain 'tapear' means eating 'on the move' and Andalucia has more tapas bars than anywhere else in Spain.
• Flamenco - Andalucia is the musical birthplace of Flamenco so you may have the pleasure of seeing a spontaneous Spanish dance in any bar or square.
• Night life - in Costa De La Luz there are few clubs as most are on the Costa del Sol. There are superb up-market clubs to be found in Conil, Granada and Sevilla.
• Easter - brings full-on celebrations in most towns and cities with masked penitents who drag chains along dusty streets with superbly decorated floats.
• Cathedrals - Sevilla has the biggest and most Gothic. Others to see are at Cadiz and Granada.
• Castles - You cannot escape the historic roots of Andalucia. Castles, ruined or resolute, are in abundance in many towns and villages, many of which are Moorish.
• Monuments - The Alhambra at Granada is described as 'the most sensual building in Europe'. The Mezquita mosque in Cordoba, is exquisite, as are the Alcazar and Giralda tower, both in Sevilla.
• Caves - Important prehistoric sites exist in Andalucia. See the Paleolithic Caves at Cueva de la Pileta with examples of primitive underground graffiti.
• Romans - Italica, near Sevilla, the Necropolis at Carmona and Baelo Claudia close to Tarifa (one of Spain's most beautiful beaches).
• Seville - Andalucia's capital, Flamenco and all the Spanish hallmarks. It is fabulous, fascinating and hosts many festivals at Easter.
• Jerez - Famous for its Sherry, the Spanish Riding School (weekly) and the May Horse Fair (festival).
• Gibraltar - If above is still not enough to do, try visiting Gibraltar where you'll find the Dolphin Safari (great for kids), the infamous Barbary apes and cheap 'tax-free' goods. Jewellery is great value here.
