Andalusia is Spain at its hottest and most Moorish: flamenco, palaces and white towns on the hills. This Andalusia travel story is a proven route through the country's south.
Seville
The cathedral, the Alcázar and the Santa Cruz quarter. In the evenings the city comes alive with flamenco and tapas — Andalusia at its best.
Córdoba
The Mezquita mosque-cathedral is one of Europe's most extraordinary monuments. The old town charms with flower-filled patios.
Granada
The Alhambra — a Moorish palace on the hill — is the climax of the trip. Book tickets well in advance.
The white towns
Ronda with its bridge over the gorge and the surrounding pueblos blancos are a picturesque interlude between the bigger cities.
