Welcome to Andalucia
Southern light and colour.
A breathtaking combination of Coast and Country landscape
A direct link between Europe and Africa, and the place where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean, Andalucia has been fought over by nummerous cultures since the earliest times of civilization.
Andalucia covers 17.3 per cent of Spanish territory, 87,268 km in total, making it the largest single region, with an area greater than countries such as Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland.
In Andalucia, contrasts are the norm. The diversity of the landscape which make up the region provides an entire spectrum: from the warm Guadalquivir valley, to leafy low mountain areas, from volcanic landscape such as the Tabernas Desert to the white peaks of Sierra Nevada.
Andalucia`s main river, the Guadalquivir, is a source of life all along its journey across Andalusian terretory.
Within 40 km it is possible to travel from this alpine landscape to the tropical shores of the Mediterranean: The Andalusian Coast, almost 900 kms long, is home to a large number of towns and beaches, the delight of those who visit them.
