Things to do in Andalucía
Walk this way
Walking in Spain’s southernmost region leads you along rural tracks and paths to diverse landscapes, sun-washed sea views and mountain monasteries. Plus, you’ve got incredible seafood and a warm Andalucían welcome, far away from the beachside tourist traps. Las Alpujarras, on the south slopes of the Sierra Nevada range, is home to lakes fed by mountain streams, lush valleys, Roman ruins and tiny whitewashed pueblos. Meanwhile, stays in Almeria allow you to trek the surreal landscape of the Sierra de los Filabres. Nearby, the protected coastal desert of Cabo de Gata has several walking trails, as well an incredibly rich array of plants and birdlife.Andalucía walking vacations cater to a range of abilities, and you’ll hit the trails for up to eight hours a day. Small group vacations – where you’ll travel with up to 14 likeminded travelers, as well as an experienced walking guide – are a popular choice in this part of Spain. On these trips you’ll either be based in one hotel or guesthouse, exploring a different part of the local countryside each day, or you’ll move from place to place, with your luggage transferred for you.
Tailor made self guided tours are also popular. Again, you might be based at one location or you might move on daily, following quiet paths from village to village through forests and hills, and staying in comfortable inns and hotels with your bags are delivered ahead for you each day. Or you could enjoy the freedom of a self drive trip. Either way, the days will be well-paced, with maps and walking notes provided.
Get active
Unleash your creativity
Andalucía’s landscapes are stunning and varied. Dazzling sunlight endures year-round, even when the rest of the continent is cloaked in winter gloom – making it ideal for both painting and photography vacations. On both types of trip, you’ll be based for a week in a guesthouse in one of Andalucía’s famous white villages, along with a small group of around 10 fellow enthusiasts.You’ll paint or brush up on your photography skills in a variety of locations, including spectacular valleys, mountains and beaches. Evenings are spent getting to know your fellow travelers in family-run restaurants and bars. You’ll need to bring paints and brushes, or a camera, but other equipment and expert instruction will be included.
Get to grips with the past
You can’t visit Andalucía without feeling the pull of the past, with remnants of its Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and Iberian history scattered throughout the countryside. The cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba all date back as far as Roman times, and the pueblos blancos (white towns) of Malaga and Granada provinces are a series of whitewashed hillside villages with Moorish and Roman roots. Join small group tours of historic Andalucía to get to know the region’s history, architecture and fiery character.Our top Spain Vacation
