Andalusia - Spain

Andalusia is one of the most beautiful regions of Spain. Seville, Malaga, Cordoba, Cadiz are perfect for a gastronomic, cultural  or relaxing city break or an afternoon on the beautiful beaches of Nerja or for a visit to  the "Spanish Wild West", the Tabernas desert in Almeria (ranked among the best film locations in Europe). But Andalusia is also full of beauties and hidden treasures for those who  love venturing off the beaten path. 

 

This little village of white houses is amazing: many astute people decided to build their houses under a huge rock  to avoid paying for new roofs which cost an arm and a leg. Nearly 3000 inhabitants live in this picturesque and very surprising village. The village of Setenil de las Bodegas is worth a visit and is only 20 kilometres from Ronda, another hidden gem of this beautiful province.

 

Book your flights to Malaga or Jerez (1H30 by car), your accommodation at the best price, your best tours and activities in Andalusia  such as a "Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas tour".
