Macharaviaya

This hill village, part of the Ruta Turistica del Sol y el Aguacate, enjoyed the height of its fortunes from the 18th century until the beginning of the 19th century. In fact, such was Macharaviaya's status that it was known as "little Madrid".

Dance

Wouldn't it be fun to return from Spain as an accomplished Flamenco dancer? A short - or even somewhat extended - holiday might not be enough to take your skills quite that far, but in as little as a month's time, you can learn some basic moves. And you'll have a lot of fun creating unforgettable memories and making new friends.

Convento

Hotels - Casino Hotels on the Costa del Sol

Casino hotels are those which offer, or allow access to, casinos as part of the available facilities.

Generally, these hotels offer a number of other facilities around the casino, such as bars, restaurants or swimming pools, to add an element of luxury and entertainment to a guest’s stay. Their location on the Costa del Sol is also an added bonus which guests can take advantage of during their stay.

Kidneys with a Sherry Sauce recipe

Semana Santa in Cadiz

The provincial capital, Cádiz, holds tremendous, extravagant processions - on par with those of all the other provincial capitals in Andalucia.

Jimena de la Frontera - Los Ángeles

The small neighbourhood of Los Ángeles is located just 2km south-east of the village of Jimena de la Frontera.

From here trains go direct to and from Algeciras and Granada. In 2018, the population of Los Angeles was recorded as being 2,185.

Moguer Beaches

The beaches on the coast in the municipality of the inland town of Moguer are actually closer to Mazagon and the famous Doñana Natural Park.

Isla Cristina Beaches - Playa El Cantil

El Cantil beach does not overlook the ocean, but the Carreras estuary, meaning there are almost no waves apart from small ones created by the ships entering the port.

The beach measuring just 300 metres is situated near the Isla Cristina marina and lighthouse, with views across to the salt marshes of Isla Cristina Natural Area and to Punta del Moral.

History

The city of Almeria was founded in 955 by the Arabs, but there are sites that trace their origins to prehistoric times. The hill where the Alcazaba is currently was the subject of the earliest occupation in prehistoric times, likely to be during the Bronze Age.
