Holidays to Marbella & Andalucia

Described as quintessentially Spanish, Andalucia is a land of fiestas, flamenco and tapas; where every Spanish dream you've ever had comes true. Quaint fishing villages and bustling tourist resorts nestle side-by-side, while mountainous landscapes overlook secluded bays, and sprawling cities melt into vast countryside. Once dominated by the Moors, remnants of their reign still cast striking shadows over much of the region, and you'll find yourself awe-struck by the architecture that remains; cities such as Seville, Cordoba, and Granada are a testament to such a past. Elsewhere you'll discover the Spain of holiday brochures, with the Costa del Sol ripe for exploration and entertainment, and the Sierra Nevada mountains looming. Andaluci­a is an idea destination regardless of your passions, a haven for sports lovers, sightseers, and beach bunnies alike.

With a historical influence from invading Moors from North Africa, Andalucian cuisine is often filled with ingredients imported from more exotic places including saffron, spices, almonds, dates, lemons and sweet peppers. A lot of these ingredients feature in tapas which are said to originate in Andalusia and remain the nation’s favourite way to dine – little sharing dishes with a combination of ingredients often eaten in bars to accompany drinks. Other popular typically Spanish treats that originated here are gazpacho – a thick, cold tomato soup and cured, delicious Serrano ham.
