Italica

Roman ruins of Italica, near Seville, with remarkable mosaics and an impressive amphitheatre, are located 9 kilometres to the north of the city, just outside the village of Santiponce. Nearby you can also see a well preserved Roman theatre. Both are signposted from the the main road.

Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Area

Southwest of the coastal resort Roquetas del Mar is a 15km-long strip of protected coastline, the Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Area and Reserve. Like Albufera de Adra Natural Reserve along the coast, this is a wildlife haven encircled by a sea of plastic from the intensive agriculture that surrounds it. Even in the height of summer the beach is often deserted and its isolation makes it an ideal spot for birdwatching.

Calahonda - Private Excursions

A selection of privatep excursions from Costa del Sol with Viator, perfect opportunities to see the major attractions in Andalucia without the hassle of having to organise it yourself.

Marbella Property Buyer's Guide

The Internet has become by far the most useful tool for those looking to buy properties and a net-based property search is usually the first step taken by any potential buyer. But, is it the right second step, once one sees a few desirable properties on several sites, to contact and make appointments with all the agents offering those properties, agents you don’t know or may not have even heard anything about, some of whom do not even identify themselves correctly on their sites?

Los Seises Sevilla (formerly Hotel Fontecruz)

This hotel is tucked away down a side-street, which means it doesn’t have the bustling ambience of those on the main drag, though it’s only a stone’s throw away. As soon as you walk in, you realise it is very much modern in style, with black and white photos of film stars on the wall, a black marble reception and fluffy white hanging lights.

Malaga City Carnival

From 1937 to 1977, the people of Málaga kept their costumes packed away and refrained from meeting to practice and enjoy the old carnival tunes together - much less organise any traditional parades or other celebrations. This was due to the prohibition issued by Franco and strictly enforced in this area.

Actors, Actresses and Models

Andalucia has both produced its own icons in this department, as well as attracted many more to its sunny climes. Here is a look at who's who in southern Spain whether you're looking for movie stars, actors for TV or theatre or models "Made in Spain".

River Walking in Andalucia

In Andalucia there are many rivers where you can enjoy a pleasant walk and a relaxing swim surrounded by nature. The best time is undoubtedly summer, although it is also an option in late spring or early autumn.

Some of the most beautiful rivers to make these routes are:

- Rio Chillar near Nerja, Coast del Sol

- Angosturas near Benahavis, Costa del Sol

- Rio Genal near Jubrique, (Serrania de Ronda)

Hotels in Cuevas del Almanzora

Cuevas del Almanzora is a town known for the caves that can be found there and for the river that runs through it. Located just away from the coast on the Costa Almería, it benefits from both cultural tourism and ´sun and beach´ tourism. The beach towns of Villaricos and Vera are not far at all, and the arahceological sites and famous caves are also just around the corner.

Walk up the Concha

The magnificent mountain known as "La Concha" (the shell) is part of a range that extends across the skyline to the village of Ojén. Take the road to Ojén and turn left into the beautiful park called Juanar, where the mountainside is covered in pine trees, pinsapos, walnut and olive trees, as well as wild orchids - and some wild animals, including Hispanic wild goats, eagles and Royal owls.

Palacio de Juan Vázquez de Molina

The construction of the palace of Juan Vázquez de Molina began around the year 1562. It was built according to the design of the prestigious architect, Andrés de Vandelvira, who six years later delivered the finished work to its promoter, Don Juan Vázquez de Molina. /p>

Casa del Posito

At the beginning of the Christian town stands the Casa del Pósito, a 16th-century public granary attributed to Pablo de Rojas. Located on Calle Mota.

Manolete

Manolete was born July 4th, 1917 in Cordoba and died in the bullring at Linares in Jaen on August 28th 1947. What transpired during the years in between was the making of a myth and legend so great, the world of bullfighting in Spain will forever remember the name of Manolete.
