Moorish palaces, whitewashed villages on the hills and tapas bars that never seem to close. Andalusia is the Spain of postcards, yet each of its cities has a character all its own.
For a city-only journey, choose Renfe’s direct Avant train if its departure suits you, or choose an ALSA coach for a wider departure choice. Driving makes more sense with a car you already have or an onward road trip, while a taxi or private transfer can simplify travelling with a group and bulky luggage. The […]
Atarazanas Market’s Nasrid gateway, the Alcazaba’s palace courtyards and Picasso’s changing art lead into Málaga’s garden paths and harbour promenade: this is a day of history and art on foot, ending with the beach and dinner in La Malagueta. One full day is enough for these visits, but not for every major interior. Keep the […]
The Alcazaba’s palace courtyards and Picasso’s changing styles give Málaga more than a beach-break agenda. With five full sightseeing days, you can explore the historic centre, visit La Concepción’s mature gardens, eat beside the sea in Pedregalejo and El Palo, and drive east to Nerja and Frigiliana. Keep a central base and leave arrival and […]
Choose a meal in Granada by what you want on the plate and where you want to sit. Los Diamantes makes anchovies the starting point for a seafood order on Calle Navas, while Ruta del Azafrán pairs Moorish-style pastry with a terrace overlooking the Alhambra. Between those settings are meatballs, oxtail stew and grilled razor […]
Granada puts very different outings within reach: hilltop churches in Montefrío, the gorge beside Alhama de Granada, Salobreña’s coastal old town, Guadix’s inhabited cave quarter and the mountain villages of the Alpujarras. Choose Salobreña or Guadix for a bus trip, but choose a car for the other three outings. Each leaves you back in Granada […]
A vegan meal in Seville can mean chickpea-flour Spanish omelette at Veganitessen in Mercado del Arenal, a burger on Calle Amor de Dios or tapas across the river in Triana. Choose by the meal you want and the part of town you are visiting, rather than settling for a meat-free side dish. These four restaurants […]
Choose Málaga after the Three Kings holiday period for a January break centred on sightseeing. Mild afternoons suit the Alcazaba’s courtyards and a pause beside the sea at La Malagueta, while the Picasso Museum gives you an indoor alternative when rain interrupts. Expect cool evenings rather than dependable beach warmth. Early January has a different […]
Leave the car parked for a centre-focused stay in Seville. Drive to a chosen hotel entrance or public garage rather than between sights: central street-access controls are separate from the low-emission rules in Cartuja. For Cartuja, your vehicle’s Spanish environmental category and the recurring restriction window determine whether you can enter without an exception. In […]
Pedregalejo Beach gives you a swim and a seafront meal in the same part of Málaga. Known as Pedregalejo–Las Acacias, it has dark-sand coves divided by sea defences, with a restaurant-lined promenade immediately behind the shore. Choose it for a beach day with lunch close at hand, rather than an isolated stretch of coast. You […]
For sightseeing in Málaga, choose August dates outside the August Fair celebrations, but for a cooler walking holiday, favour September. August suits a stay that combines beach time with outdoor visits early and late in the day, rather than hours of uninterrupted sightseeing. Choose the fair period deliberately if joining the celebrations is your priority: […]
