Under the sun exactly, in the extreme south of continental Europe, this dream and idealized region by many holidaymakers always keeps its promises. Of course, we must not miss Seville, Cordoba and Granada, three testimonies of the traces left by three large cultures. Stroll through the streets of the typical cab, discover a Mezquita unique in the world and feel the scents of the lush gardens of a Alcazar or a Alhambra. But Andalusia is not just about these three inescapable sites and the exuberant Costa del Sol... At the gates of Africa, this vast territory of legend, apart from a brilliant historical and artistic heritage, as well as beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, consists of large virgin spaces and green mountains. Almost as large as Portugal, Andalusia gives the opportunity to practice, through good infrastructure, all types of tourism. But for a trip that really corresponds to Andalusia, there is nothing like a tailor-made circuit with a local agency. You will be able to see the most important of Andalusia while carrying out activities that you dream of during your budget.
Andalusia attracts tourists all year round. The ribs are of course more sought after when the heat arrives, often complementing a city visit. In addition, each major event in a city, holy week, grand sports prize, feria... drains more visitors. The holidays must be checked before your departure, depending on whether or not you want to be in the crowd.
A life punctuated by the sun!In the majority of the territory, this generous ally of Andalous will rarely ask you a rabbit, going up to 320 days a year on Costa de Almería or Costa de la Luz. A pleasant pace of life!A pleasant climate all year roundIn summer, let yourself be impressed by a very warm and tropical climate that is particularly popular with tourists from Costa del Sol. Then be surprised and conquered by the softness of its autumns and winters, probably the strangest from all over Europe. And the spring? Always a little wonder!Nature and various activitiesAndalusia offers a multitude of natural resources to the traveler, including a preserved paradise, such as the national parks of Sierra Nevada and numerous natural parks where green tourism is king with the possibility of hiking. By organising your stay on-line with a local agency, you can better define the activities to be practiced in Andalusia and can choose those that truly match you with the advice of real professionals of the destination.A rich historical legacyGrenada, Seville, Cordoba: the Holy Trinity, the unforgettable wonders set by the time in these expressions of refinement and cohabitation between Muslim, Catholic and Jewish peoples! Andalusia's historical and artistic heritage is phenomenal, both in castles and fortresses (alcazabas) and palaces and places of worship.
The cost of living is lower than that of France and, even in the full season, you can do good business in the area of accommodation and catering.FormalitésThe identity card or a passport is sufficient for nationals of the European Union.
In the whole Andalusian territory it is Spanish that is spoken. In Andalusia, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the particular emphasis of this region, made of aspirations.
As in most countries belonging to the European Union, currency is the euro.
If you have the opportunity to choose, the best periods to visit Andalusia are spring and autumn. You will enjoy the magnificent Andalusian climate by avoiding the fury and heat of the high season. Two very good options are the months of June and September, then the end of March and the beginning of April, where important holidays begin (holy week) or late April for the feria in Seville. At the end of September-early October, festivals (like the Saint-Miguel in several cities) put the heart at the heart after the big season.
