Why Visit Andalusia?
Andalusia is more than a destination — it’s a full sensory experience. After all, the region is steeped in cultural richness shaped by centuries of Roman, Islamic, Jewish, and Christian influence. From the arches of the Mezquita in Córdoba to the tranquil courtyards of the Alhambra in Granada, every step tells a story. Furthermore, the experience continues with traditional flamenco performances, authentic tapas, and warm Mediterranean hospitality.
The weather is another major draw. In fact, being one of the southernmost points of mainland Europe, Andalusia enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it ideal for outdoor exploration all year round. Moreover, nature lovers will also find a varied landscape that ranges from olive groves and rolling hills to rugged coastlines and protected natural parks.
But what truly sets Andalusia apart is its people. Friendly, passionate, and deeply proud of their heritage, Andalusians offer visitors an open-hearted welcome.
Must-See Cities and Landmarks
Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick list of cities and must-see landmarks that capture the essence of Andalusia. From iconic sights to local favourites, these stops will give you a real sense of the region’s culture, history, and energy:
- Seville: Wander through the Royal Alcázar, climb the Giralda, and enjoy an authentic flamenco performance.
- Granada: Tour the Alhambra, wander the whitewashed streets of the Albaicín, and experience a cave performance in Sacromonte.
- Córdoba: Be captivated by the iconic Mezquita, walk across the Roman Bridge, and stroll the Jewish Quarter.
- Málaga: A thriving coastal city with the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba, and views from Gibralfaro Castle.
- Ronda: Dramatic cliffs, the famous Puente Nuevo, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings, and the ‘Casa Museo Don Bosco‘.
These cities, each with their own character and history, showcase the many sides of Andalucía. Whether you’re exploring the region for the first time or returning for another visit, we offer in-depth local knowledge to help you get the most out of your trip. From visiting ancient castles and strolling through historic neighbourhoods, to enjoying local cuisine, hiking in the Sierra Nevada, or simply relaxing by the sea—there’s something here for every kind of traveller.
Optional additions to your Andalusia Spain Tour could include Cádiz, one of the oldest cities in Europe with a rich maritime history and a picturesque old town. In addition, Jerez de la Frontera is well worth a visit — it’s renowned for its sherry wine, Andalusian horses, and flamenco scene. Alternatively, you might consider Almería, known for its striking desert landscapes and the impressive Moorish Alcazaba. Finally, for those seeking off-the-beaten-path heritage, the UNESCO-listed Renaissance cities of Úbeda and Baeza offer stunning architecture and a peaceful, timeless atmosphere.
How to Get Around
What’s the best way to get around and explore Andalusia? Well, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it really depends on your needs, preferences, and the places you plan to visit. So, Andalusia is well connected, offering various ways to travel:
- Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is the main international hub. Seville and Granada also have airports with European connections. Alternatively, you could arrange your flights to arrive in Madrid, travel by train for about two hours to Córdoba, and then depart from Málaga or Seville. Our tours don’t include airfare, so your flight arrangements are completely up to you.
- Trains: Spain’s high-speed trains link Madrid with Córdoba, Málaga, and Seville—quick, efficient, and scenic.
- Private Transport: For maximum comfort and flexibility, we offer premium Mercedes Benz vans (up to 8 people + driver), allowing you to personalise your route and stop as you please. Perfect for families, small groups, or travellers who prefer stress-free logistics.

If you’re thinking outside the box, we can also help organise corporate events, blending top-notch planning with stunning Andalusian locations. This option is becoming increasingly popular among our travellers. To get a better idea of what we offer, feel free to explore our group tours —they’re a great example of how we can tailor experiences to different interests and needs.
Another popular request we often receive from our clients is to include a visit to Gibraltar. It’s a fascinating stop, and our best-selling option there is the 2.5-hour ‘General Tour’. This guided experience includes four key stops: Europa Point, St. Michael’s Cave, the Apes’ Den where you’ll encounter the famous Barbary macaques, and the Great Siege Tunnels. On the way down from the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, you’ll also pass by the exterior of the Moorish Castle and get a glimpse of Gibraltar’s historic old town. It’s a great way to make the most of your time in this unique corner of the Iberian Peninsula.
On a side note, some of our itineraries have also included Northern Africa as part of the experience. In fact, it’s not uncommon for travellers to take a short ferry ride across the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, allowing them to explore a completely different culture just a stone’s throw away. So, in the space of a single week, some of our guests have visited Morocco, Spain, and Gibraltar—ticking off three countries and two continents in one journey.

Best Time to Visit
For those looking for a short answer, the best time of year to visit Spain is during spring and early summer (April–June), as well as in autumn (September–October), when the weather is pleasant and there are plenty of activities to enjoy.
- Spring (March–May): A favourite among seasoned travellers—pleasant weather and blooming landscapes.
- Autumn (September–November): Still warm, but less crowded. Ideal for cultural events and wine season.
- Summer: Hot inland but excellent along the coasts. Head to Cádiz or Costa Tropical.
- Winter: Great for city breaks and cultural tours, often with better hotel rates.
