Family CityHoliday Rentals

Andalucia´s vibrant cities are the quintessence of its culture; flamenco, amazing tapas and the fascinating blend of Moorish and Hispanic architecture that defines the region, are nowhere more apparent than in any of the provincial capitals. For families wanting a contained vacation with everything at their doorstep, few regions offer better city breaks.

Drinks in Andalucia

With a wine-making tradition spanning more than 2000 years and with more vineyard acreage than any other country in the world, Spain is producing wines of increasingly good quality. Wine in Andalucia is produced in four "Denominación de Origen" areas. Beer (cerveza) is enormously popular in Spain, which is in fact one of Europe's major producers of lager.

There are about 100 different watchtowers (Torre Vigia or Torre Atalaya or Torre Almenara) along the coast of Southern Spain. Some are of Moorish origins others from date from the later Christian re-conquest period. All with the purpose of looking out for invaders from the South. They have lasted the centuries with remarkable strength.

Golf News - Garcia ready for another special week in Valderrama

by María Acacia López-Bachiller

Defending champion Sergio Garcia is looking ahead to another special week in a place that he loves, as he returns to Real Club Valderrama just three weeks after becoming Europe's all-time Ryder Cup points scorer.

He is aiming for a third Andalucia Valderrama Masters title, after also winning here in 2011, but it is a week that is about more than just golf for the 2017 Masters Tournament champion, as the event is hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation for the second successive year.

Hotel Casa Romana

To enjoy an elegant ambience, smack between the hip Alameda and the shopping area - craft-beer bars or shoe heaven - and hang out in a breezy rooftop bar with views. This hotel is located on a main street (rooms are well-insulated for sound) which runs between the Alameda de Hercules, a main nightlife centre with tapas bars and nightclubs galore, and the main shopping area, where you can't move for Zara branches and shoes shops.

Tourist Office

The tourist office of Cástaras is located in the Town Hall.

Bobastro is an ancient village so don't expect to find any people living there today. It is located near the village of Ardales in Malaga's lake district. The site comands exceptional views of the surrounding countryside.

Language Schools

Of the many ways to learn Spanish in Spain and get a good foundation in grammar and pronunciation, while having fun in the process is to attend a language school. A good course will give you the grounding you need to boost your confidence when practicing the language in 'real life' later.

Iglesia de Santa María

The church was burned during the Moorish revolution in 1570 and its reconstruction began on January 1, 1600, but was not completed until 1734. It is believed to be in the late Gothic style with a Mudejar coffered ceiling.

New Flamenco - Ketama

The marijouana buds that decorate this Madrid trio’s website give a clue as to the origin of their name; the dope-growing region of Ketama in north Africa. Wildly popular with young Spaniards, with a street cred aided by their public affection for ‘chocolate’, Ketama mix flamenco with African music, guitar pop, hip-hop and house, and their concerts frequently sell out.
