The rich and exciting culture of Spain’s south west has attracted visitors for thousands of years. From the<br />
Romans to the Moors, you can expect to see traces of these great civilisations in the region’s architecture,<br />
food, and outlook on life.<br />
CULTURAL<br />
TOURISM<br />
ANDALUCIA<br />
Traditional Seville<br />
When you visit beautiful Seville, you get a feel for the real<br />
Andalucia. Stroll around the ancient and narrow streets of the<br />
Triana district where you might still hear traditional Flamenco<br />
music in the air.<br />
Don’t miss out on some of the best tapas bars in all of<br />
Spain, too. There are so many great eateries to choose from,<br />
ranging from the traditional to the ultra-contemporary, that<br />
we recommend taking one of the popular tapas tours.<br />
Moorish Granada<br />
The influence of the Moors and<br />
their Islamic architecture on<br />
this part of Spain is written<br />
large in the city of Granada.<br />
It’s an ancient place sitting<br />
at the foot of the impressive<br />
snow-capped Sierra Nevada<br />
mountains.<br />
You’ll want to visit the Alhambra, an astonishing Moorish<br />
fortress that overlooks the town. The labyrinth of slender<br />
alleyways around Alcaicería, at the base of the Alhambra, is<br />
reminiscent of the Arabic bazaar that used to be there.<br />
The Cuisine<br />
A visit to Andalucia is only made complete when you dive into<br />
some of the best food that Spain has to offer. Southern Spain<br />
is where tapas was first made popular, and the bars found on<br />
almost every street are well worth checking out.<br />
Try out salmorejo, a tomato soup served cold with jamón on<br />
top. Andalucia’s obsession with cured ham is found<br />
everywhere, as is their most famous comfort food, the<br />
humble but delicious churros con chocolate.<br />
And you can’t complete a trip to Andalucia without trying<br />
jerez. The fortified wine, named after the Jerez region, is<br />
better known as sherry in the rest of the world and is delicious<br />
when paired with local seafood.<br />
