Covering an area of 87,000 km2, Andalucia is the largest and southern most region of Spain

A country of colour, dramatic scenery, buildings that are remnants of an exotic and splendid past, the unique flamenco music and the dance of the gitanos (gypsies). This area has intrigued travellers for centuries and much of what attracted those early visitors still lives on in Andalucia today, especially the warmth and generosity of its people and their love of life and to work hard and to play hard

There are many influences that have coloured Andalucia since the first paintings were etched on cave walls here more than 25,000 years ago.

Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths and Vandals (Germanic peoples) and the Moors, the most influential of them all; they ruled for seven centuries and it was they who named it al-Andalus.
