Andalucia holidays offer more choice than a bumper buffet spread. You've got UNESCO-ranked palaces to start, make-up-free scenery for mains, and Blue Flag beaches for pud.
World-famous sands
Spain’s trusty beach resorts have been coming up trumps with holidaymakers for yonks, and Andalucia’s got a brag-worthy trio to shout about. The Costa del Sol delivers a simple recipe of restaurant-bordered sands and hotels that have mastered home comforts. Costa de Almeria rocks big and small beaches, like Roquetas de Mar and Cabo de Gata. And Costa de la Luz slots in to complete the trilogy, with rip-roaring watersports and a dot-to-dot of tanning territories.
Big-shot cities
Tear your gaze away from the pin-up-style shoreline, and the region’s city scene’s well worth some air time. Seville, Malaga, Granada, Cordoba – they all come under the fluttering green-and-white Andalusian banner. Between them, they create a hamper of have-to-sees, ranging from replicas of Columbus’ sailing ships to historic hilltop castles. There’s a modern fizz to mention, too, with a tag-team of shopping and nightlife covering every hour of the day.
