Andalusia is the
most southern region of Spain and one of the most beautiful and
unique. The Phoenicians have been here, the Greek, the Romans,
it was occupied by the Moors for over six centuries before the
katholic kings of Spain reconquered all of Spain . It is the
birthplace of the flamenco and tapas. Today the region
presents itself largely unspoiled and can be enjoyed by everyone
with its large olive tree plantations, charming white
villages, sandy beaches and intimate bathing creeks with
crystal clear water, huge natural parks and its unique buildings
, and first of all its inhabitants, the Andalusians. |

Southern Andalusia
is a region with changing landscapes and a varying climate.
Forests of pine change with dry and dusty plains, area with
dunes and vigorous-green mountain scenery. The Winter climate is
pleasant, the temperatures hardly drop below 12 – 15 degrees,
frost is nearly unknown. A winter stay is obvious when the cold
hits Northern Europe. In Andalucia you can always find a nice
sunny place to enjoy your lunch on the terrace. |

The long period of Moorish
occupation has left more traces in Andalusia than in any other
region of Spain . The impacts from the Arabic culture can be
seen in the architecture and the food. The Alhambra Palace in
Granada and the mosque in Córdoba are marvellous examples of
Arabic building art.
Many recipes combine fish or meat with fruits and spices, which
were introduced by the Moors as for example figs, pomegranate,
lemon and oranges and melons. And still a delicious sweet desert
follows every meal. |

Anybody with a
little knowledge of golf knows that one can find numerous golf
courses with international standard, Valderama just to mention
one. Less people know that it also is possible to do alpine
skiing in the Sierra Nevada , which has the main land’s highest
mountains where the season starts in the beginning of December
and ends in May. Relatively unknown also is the fact that there
are excellent possibilities to windsurf or kite surf on the
coast of the Atlantic ocean. |

Avoid the
overcrowded areas of the mass tourism and try a typical
Andalusian white village, surrounded by Spanish life and charm
or your own finca with a nice pool where you can relax and do
things you do not find the time to do during the rest of the
year.
Find your own holiday home at Andalucia Holidays.

easy. |
