Andalucia Tours & Holidays

A diverse and historic region brimming with passion, Andalucia is one of Spain's most romantic regions.

From flamenco and tapas to cathedrals and beaches, there is plenty to experience in this spirited corner of Europe, even when you visit in the winter. The region's capital, Seville, is perfect for sunny city breaks, with its Gothic cathedral, 10th-century Royal Alcázar and historic Jewish Quarter among the most enigmatic attractions for Southern Spain holidays. Granada is home to Islamic architectural masterpieces such as Alhambra, traditional cafes and the mountainous Sierra Nevada National Park.

Another popular destination for Andalucia holidays, medieval Córdoba draws visitors from far and wide, thanks in large part to its breathtaking Mosque-Cathedra, the Mezquita. Those seeking a beach holiday will be spoilt for choice in family-friendly Malaga, which offers plenty of sun, sand and sea along the Costa del Sol. The nearby town of Ronda, meanwhile, offers a charming Moorish old town and a new town that features the legendary Plaza de Toros, a bullring dating back to the late 18th century.

Trips to Andalucia will always combine exquisite flavours with surprising simplicity.

When visiting, tours should include a sampling of the region's traditional dishes. These include gazpacho, a cold tomato soup typically drunk from a glass, and puchero, a filling stew made with meat, rice, vegetables and noodles.

With five of the region's provinces bordering the coast, it's easy to find excellent seafood in Andalucia, from scallops, prawns and lobster to mackerel, sardines and swordfish.

People from this area love a celebration, and the late-night fiestas are usually facilitated by orange wine. An Andalusian product, it’s created by macerating white wine with orange peel.
