Andalucia (sometimes spelt Andalusia) is one of the six autonomous regions of Spain. It is in the south of the peninsula with an extensive Mediterranean coastline. The dramatic beauty and fascinating culture of this region make it an ideal holiday destination. Andalucia is a treasure trove of historical sites, fascinating cities, and rural tranquillity.

There is something here to suit all tastes.
