There is much more to see in Andalusia, the land where with an average of over 320 days of sun a year, the marvellous relics of medieval Islamic Spain meet fabulous heritages of cathedrals, palaces and castles from later eras. From the towering peeks of the Sierra Nevada down to the blue Mediterranean sea there is much to see and do. The southerly region is the true home of typically Spanish experiences. Bullfighting, tapas, flamenco, the guitar itself, all began in Andalucía and remain deeply embedded here. Other aspects of Spanish life take on their most extreme forms here: Andalucian fiestas and the Semana Santa with its spectacular Easter processions.
