They say Andalusia holds the real soul of Spain.
It was the last region to be re-conquered (1492) by the Sultanate of Granada. Today, the Andalusian people have a unique lifestyle: from celebrations to cuisine and from spirituality to work.
In order to have an in-depth experience of the region, with up to six UNESCO listed sites (including the recently added Antequera Dolmens Site), Andalusia calls for a longer visit.
Your urban explorations will include Seville, Cordoba, Malaga and Granada. If at all possible, add the unique town of Ronda (where a stay at the extraordinary Parador is strongly recommended) or the less travelled Jerez de la Frontera and Cadiz.
For those looking for open and natural spaces, the Donana National Park, the semi-natural Dehesas of Pedroches in Cordoba and the Alpujarras in Granada are highly recommended. Andalusia has a rich cultural heritage which, of course, includes the Flamenco. A Flamenco concert is a sine qua non-experience, and is well complemented with a private lesson for those who wish to live the experience.
