Trails of Andalucia 8 Days
Andalucia was the last stronghold of the Moors, who arrived from North Africa in the 8th century and left a heritage that has made Andalucia what it is today. Seville is the vibrant provincial capital and home of flamenco, whilst the area around ronda is one of the most beautiful parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The landscape is hilly and dotted with delightful small villages built on steep slopes. The narrow alleyways and houses with wrought-iron balconies covered in bright red geraniums exude a distinctly Moorish air. Granada offers a wonderful insight into the rich culture of the Moorish period a highlight is the splendid architecture and rich ornamentation of beautiful Alhambra Palace. After walking during the day, we relax in the evenings, enjoying delicious local cuisine and watching Andalucia come to life.
