Andalucia & Costa del Sol

Trip Planning & Itineraries

With strong Islamic roots and a history of unrelenting poverty, Andalucia is perhaps the least European part of western Europe; but the region's heritage is Spanish as well as Moorish. It gave us Velazquez, Picasso and Lorca, and is also a hotbed of flamenco, fiesta and bullfighting.

Although Andalucia still lags behind the rest of Spain, poverty is down, education is up, and tourism and gradual industrial growth are giving the region a welcome prosperity.

Málaga is Andalucia's principal international airport. Almería, Seville, Jerez de la Frontera and Gibraltar also receive some international flights. Andalucia's other airport, Granada, receives internal Spanish flights only. A departure tax is levied when flying out of Spain, but this is usually included in the price of the ticket. Trains run from all major European cities to Madrid, where you can get a connecting service to Andalucia.
