About Andalucia

 

Andalucia stretches across the whole of southern Spain and is it's second largest region. It contains eight provinces - Almeria, Granada, Cadiz, Malaga, Jaen, Cordoba, Seville and Huelva, all of which are named after their capital city.


Although the region is historically the poorest in Spain, due to a massive boost in the Sunset in Cadiz tourist industry, things have changed and people now flood to the area from all over the world. It certainly now is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe. It has miles and miles of golden sandy beaches, glorious countryside and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. There is something in Andalucia for everyone whatever their age.


Andalucia is the home of flamenco, bullfighting and tapas and all of these traditions, as well as many more, can still be experienced throughout the region today. A slow pace of life is enjoyed and the locals are incredibly family orientated, putting family first and foremost in their lives. The Spaniards love their fiestas and certainly know how to party! Add the fact that inland Andalucia is one of the healthiest places to live on earth and you have a recipe for a laid back, happy, healthy lifestyle full of sunshine.
