Andalucia travel advice

”If you are going to seriously botanise, then April or early May would seem to be the best time. Much of the plant life was already burned off in early June.” - Margaret Underwood

“Be prepared for the lack of 'los servicios' on the walks (girl thing!). Pack a few cereal bars/oat cakes as back-up's to what’s basically a meat and carbs diet! If you don’t eat red meat, be prepared for Ham being treated as Not Red Meat!” - Ros Perryman

“Be prepared for a simple and relaxed pace of life with little compromise to modern tourism.” - Anthony Bullin

“Take day trips early morning or late afternoon as it can get quite hot.” - Caroline O

“January / February is a great time to go. Days warm, cooler early in the morning and evenings so take warm cardigans and slippers!” - Debbie Bayntun-Lees

“There isn't a lot of English spoken in the villages so definitely come with a Spanish dictionary. And in November it is quite warm when walking at times but very cold in the evenings, so definitely pack jumpers and coats.” - Eleanora Newbury

”Use local services, markets and restaurants. They are cheap, friendly and good quality.” - Simon Nicholson
