Granada • Cordoba • Jaen • Pueblos Blancos

 

There is so much more to Andalucía than the fabulous Granada with its world famous Alhambra Palace, or even the other major cities of Sevilla and Cordoba with their own spectacular buildings and atmosphere.  From the white hill towns in the South West of the province, to the seemingly never-ending olive groves of Jaen this region contains glorious scenery, great food and architecture, much of it a remnant of their Moorish heritage, but blended with that very special Spanishness.

On the downside, it also has more than its fair share of tourist tat on the Costa del Sol, but even there you will find great hotels and scenery, not always tainted by hordes of package tourists.  Unfortunately, wealth is not always a barometer of taste, so if you go to Marbella expecting class, you will be sadly disappointed, it is simply more expensive tat, proving the adage that a rich man is simply a poor man with more money.

This page (like much of Andalucia) still under construction, but plenty more to come including Sevilla and the other cities below, amazing troglodyte dwellings in Guadix... but probably not the Costa del Sol!
