Andalusia is Al-Andaluz, the kingdom of the Moors (Muslim Arabs and Berbers), who ruled southern Spain from the eighth to the 15th century.

Situated in the heart of Puerto Banus, on the second line, this club is a must for lovers of loud music.

Andalucia´s villages are some of the most charming in Europe, and make an ideal holiday destination for anyone seeking a rural retreat without being too isolated from shops, bars and restaurants.

In Andalusia, as in the rest of Spain, the feast of Christmas dinner takes place late on the night of Christmas Eve (Nochebuena) and normally goes on into the small hours of Christmas Day.
